Football formations tips and types explained

  • 442

    - This formation is the most popular formation type around the world. It is a safe and standard formation for football managers to use and apply, providing good player coverage all over the football pitch.

  • 442 Diamond

    - It is a very similar formation type to 442, but slightly less flat across the midfield, with a diamond shape bring the 4 midfielders slightly closer together with one of the central midfielders playing further back, and the other further forward.

  • 433

    - When a football team has a strong attack then this formation can accommodate, however, this usually means 2 of the front 3 play slightly deeper providing cover for their full backs. Faster players are best suited for these positions.

  • 4411

    - This is another very popular formation type, with most managers choosing a 442 formation, in practise playing with this formation. This happens when the second striker is playing behind the main striker. The supporting striker is usually a player who is better in the air and can hold up the ball, whilst the main striker is the best finisher.

  • 451

    - Teams often use this formation when playing tougher opposition, to provide better protection in midfield. It also means the striker is left with little support.

  • 343

    - A less popular formation but still used. The 3 defenders are expected to cover more space, but however also expect support from their midfield.

  • 352

    - The wing backs are key to this formation, without fast and organised wing back teams playing this formation will struggle to keep up with the required structure this formation requires.

  • 4231

    - An exciting formation with 3 attacking midfielders operating behind the main striker. 2 holding midfielders provide cover, however, especially the 2 attacking midfielders on the wings are expected to track back and support the full backs as required.
