Starting Lineup

P.Dybala · M. Soulé · A. Dovbyk · L. Pellegrini · L. Paredes · E.Le Fée · M.Svilar · J. Angeliño · G.Mancini · R.Bellanova · IT'Dicka

Roma focuses on verticality and quick transitions through a 4-3-3 formation. This lineup aims to win the ball and immediately move it forward to stretch the opposition. By using a high press, the team looks to win it back high up the pitch to catch the opponent before they can organize.

M. Svilar stays between the posts to command the area and start play. The defense works as a flat back four with J. Angeliño playing as an attacking left back to provide width. R. Bellanova pushes up as an overlapping full back on the right side to support the attack. In the center, G. Mancini acts as a ball playing defender who can carry the ball forward, while IT'Dicka provides cover and defends zonally to handle runs in behind.

The midfield operates with a single pivot and two eight roles. L. Paredes sits in front of the back four to shield the defense and recycle possession. He helps connect the defensive line to the rest of the team. E. Le Fée works to drive forward with the ball and press aggressively in the middle, while the captain L. Pellegrini plays in the half spaces to create chances and arrive late into the box.

Up front, the team uses a powerful lone striker in A. Dovbyk who can hold up the ball and win the header. To his sides, P. Dybala operates as an inverted winger who cuts inside to find space, using his passing range and dribbling style to create. M. Soulé stays wider on the right to isolate defenders in one on one situations. This trio works to pin the last defender and create runs in behind through quick combinations.

Roma finds success by creating wide overloads when the full backs join the attack. The combination of technical players in the middle allows the team to find the feet of the striker easily. Another strength is the ability to press in a mid-block to force a long ball from the opponent, which the center backs can then intercept.

This 4-3-3 formation relies on high intensity and quick ball movement to break down organized defenses. It is best suited for matches against teams that play a high line and leave space behind their defenders.
