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 14: 4-2-4 meets Player Roles

Back at it again with yet another 4-4-2 variant and arguably the most attack minded formation within the entire game (that has actual balance).... The 4-2-4 is an all out attacking bonanza that allows you to pack your team with many attack minded ballers, and unlike the 3-3-4, this formation can actually be used at … Continue reading Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS EPISODE 14: 4-2-4 meets Player Roles →

Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS EPISODE 13: 4-3-1-2 meets Player Roles

Do you remember back in episode 11 when I mentioned that the 4-4-2C has a very close formational cousin? Well, this is the formation I was talking about! The 4-3-1-2 is another formation that plays in a sort of diamond midfield set up, albeit it has some different characteristics that make it quite the contrary … Continue reading Season 9: PLAYER ROLES MEETS FORMATION MATTERS EPISODE 13: 4-3-1-2 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 →
