    Use the 4-4-2 on Football Manager. More of a 4-6-0. 4 defenders, 4 compact midfielders covering halfspaces/centre of pitch, two strikers very deep.

  • @recentdan123
    @recentdan123 12 років тому +2

    4-2-3-1 Is in my opinion the best defensive and attacking formation, Look at Man City/Real Madrid you practically have 6 defenders practically, 2 cdm's and 4 defenders, then you have 4 attackers,
    To switch it up you can get the wing backs up and have the 2 cdm's cover so you will always have at least four back at all times, Not only that, you could push the Cdm's up and leave the defence as there unit as four, or either one cdm moves forward and so does wing back, It is a great formation!

  • @Dewillo344
    @Dewillo344 11 років тому +2

    Wenger's logic can apply to other formations. For example 4-3-3. You have 2 centre backs 3 CMs and a striker, 6 people covering 60% of the pitch. Then the 4 wide players covering 40%.

    • @Account.for.Comment
      @Account.for.Comment 2 роки тому

      The 3 CMs would have cover 20% while the striker have to cover 20% by himself. Wenger' s logic is about maximizing use of space. The 433 became fashionable because the 3 CM crowded the 2 CM in other formations. Better for the number game.

  • @MithileshMusic92

  • @8828RR

  • @Theriac33
    @Theriac33 11 років тому +1

    4-4-2 is good for teams who are doing well in defence and playing counter-attack football, but the attack works better with 4-2-3-1, even a 4-2-3-1 side in defence transforms into 4-4-2.

  • @geohansky
    @geohansky 11 років тому

    if you watch arsenal games carefully when they dont have the ball, they always switch back to 4-4-2 mostly with walcott and a central forward staying further up the pitch, even when walcott doesnt play, they used to play van presie and fabregas further up the pitch in a 4-4-2 when they dont have the ball, the only really play 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 when they have the ball or when they are attacking

  • @conquista2923
    @conquista2923 10 років тому +1

    I disagree,....i like 5-4-1 with all *4, outside mids and backs up top on attacking, then on counter attack you still have 3 middle backs and then bottom diamond middle defender covering defense and 6 on attacks (4 outsides,1 top diamond mid and 1 striker).* sub with benched plays for max endurance. Just my preference.

    • @ray21231
      @ray21231 9 років тому

      By playing 4-3-3 you get Özil in his favoured position at no. 10 and the two wingers mean more creativity up front, also allows your two CMs play defensively or offensively depending on the situation without the no. 10 needing to go all the way back and therefore lead to a lack of creativity

    because he says a 4-4-2 formation is the most RATIONAL formation. That in no way means it is the best formation. Not to mention you have to take into account the kind of players you have on your team. Why would you even question a world class manager? There's a reason Arsenal always contends the top 4 spots in the most difficult football league in the world.

  • @aclock2
    @aclock2 12 років тому

    The 4-4-2 does not cover the positions where attacking midfielder and defensive midfielder are, so it looks very thin to me when opponent play with AMC or when I want to attack through the middle. On the other hand, it offers best wing cover in all formation.

      +Isaac Maestro 4-1-4-1 is a very good formation, especially if you have a player who can pass well with both feet and is also defensive minded (Xabi Alonso, Gokhan Inler), but for me, the 4-4-1-1 (attacking midfielder) is my best formation because I like to play attacking, possession football.
