Shocking isn't it? Who wouldn't want to play with whom many consider the greatest footballer to ever lace up a pair of cleats? It … Continue reading SMW THE MINI SERIES: SMW Superstars (Lautaro Martínez)

Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS EPISODE 15: 4-2-2-2- meets Player Roles
Guess where this is going.... 😏 That's right... Yet ANOTHER 4-4-2 variant, the 4-2-2-2 (also known as the '4 triple 2') is a formation that has what is known as a 'staggered structure' where your players will primarily position themselves into spaces that causes an imbalance upon the opposition from minute 1. It is very … Continue reading Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS EPISODE 15: 4-2-2-2- meets Player Roles
Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS EPISODE 12: 4-4-1-1 meets Player Roles
I mentioned back in episode 11 that the 4-4-2C was the second most popular 4-4-2 variant and I would want to believe that today's formation took high offense to that statement... The 4-4-1-1 is a very iconic formation that causes a lot of users (in real life) to think that they basically hit a formation … Continue reading Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS EPISODE 12: 4-4-1-1 meets Player Roles
Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS EPISODE 11: 4-4-2C meets Player Roles
Moving right along to the next episode within this series, the 4-4-2C formation is considered the 'diamond formation' that many in the soccersphere tend to talk about. This formation is all about getting an advantage within the middle of the park via the use of 4 M(C)'s that maintain their central position as much as … Continue reading Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS EPISODE 11: 4-4-2C meets Player Roles

Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS EPISODE 8: 3-3-4 meets Player Roles
We end our look at the '3 at the back' series with arguably one of the craziest formations within the entirety of SMW. The 3-3-4 is a formation that I personally believe one should never actually start a match of football with due to the unconventional elements of the formation. But, since it is one … Continue reading Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS EPISODE 8: 3-3-4 meets Player Roles
Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS EPISODE 7: 3-2-2-2-1 meets Player Roles
In all my years of playing this game I could never understand why on earth anyone would ever try to use this formation. I honestly thought that it literally made no sense what's so ever. It's basically a fake copy of the 3-4-2-1 that causes unneccesssery holds within the middle area of the formation that … Continue reading Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS EPISODE 7: 3-2-2-2-1 meets Player Roles

Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS; EPISODE 5: 3-4-1-2 meets Player Roles
The formation that I like to call a close relative of the 3-5-2, this formation does basically everything that episode 3's one does with the caveat of having an extra attacker who has the intention to operate in between the lines and cause havoc for the opposition. Ofcourse, with the extra attacker, this means that … Continue reading Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS; EPISODE 5: 3-4-1-2 meets Player Roles
Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS; EPISODE 4: 3-4-3 meets Player Roles
We continue our look at the best of the 3 at the back series with today's episode, lads. The 3-4-3 formation is one of the better formations to use in terms of if you have a fetish for wide play... It provides a numerical advantage in the wide areas with your wide D(C)'s, M(R,L)'s, and … Continue reading Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS; EPISODE 4: 3-4-3 meets Player Roles
