peasepud 59 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Im working on a little project at the mo and need some additional help with stuff. Team formations, Im trying to sort out a comprehensive list of the possible sensible ones and more importantly the player types within them. Formations Ive got so far are: 3-4-3 3-5-2 4-3-2-1 4-3-3 4-4-1-1 4-4-2 5-3-2 5-2-3 5-2-2-1 What I now need to add in is the player types in one list ie LB (Left Back), RB - Right Back etc etc Anyone fancy sticking them in here to save me time while I do the relevant coding?

Guest alex Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 4-2-3-1 is a popular Spanish one which Benitez has used a lot at Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay 8 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 For example would you allow 4-4-2 Diamond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKev 0 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 3-4-3 is a system the current leaders (Berne) over here in Switzerland are playing: RCD (right central defender) CD LCD (left central defender) RM CM LM RF CF LF As there are no real full-backs, the right & left midfielder have an important job to do: helping out at the back while defending, providing width while attacking. Also, the central midfielder has to be a real box-to-box player. The right & left forwards drop back into midfield roles when the team is defending. All three forwards exchange positions constantly. Therefore, a lot of discipline is needed and a lot of running needs to be done. But you've got an attractive, attacking-looking team, constantly on the move. If you've got the right players - great. If you haven't got them and you play 3-4-3, you're in trouble, as the back three is exposed time and time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 You said "3 CM/AM". If they're playing different roles, why would you group them together? Your description would make it 4-1-1-2-2. I've never seen that either so saying 'I can't believe no one has mentioned...' as though it's some widely used formation doesn't make sense either. I'm sure it did work a treat on CM for you though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it did work a treat on CM for you though the only difference with the CM's is that 1 sits pulling the strings and 2 go forward. Its described like that because thats the starting positions. Sheesh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelie 103 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Historically there was a 2-3-5 - full backs, half backs with a centre-half who wasn't a defender but the original "midfield general" and then a traditional forward line. Irony abounds, Peaspudd'n didn't have that formation in his list yet you must consider that most of our glory days were won with a 2-3-5 line-up in olden times. Inccidently NJS, the centre-half was a defined defender, don't think I ever heard Frank Brennan referred to as a mid-field general, more often as a 'stopper'.

I was thinking more of Andy Aitken from the Edwardian days - it was him I read referred to as more of a playmaker - possibly much later personified by Charlton or Beckenbauer in a different formation.
