Young Boys look to play with high intensity and a heavy press in a 4-3-3. This formation is built to win the ball back high up the pitch and use quick transitions to catch the opposition off guard. The goal is to keep the ball in the final third and keep the opponent pinned in their own half.

фон Балльмос acts as the last line of defense behind a flat back four. Бани-Зукру and Камара form the central pair, with Бани-Зукру acting as a ball playing defender to help move the ball from the back. Блум and Хаджам occupy the wide positions, where they are tasked to push up and support the attack while ensuring they track back to cover the wide areas. The defensive unit seeks to stay compact to prevent through balls.

The midfield works as a three man midfield with a carrier and a creative spark. Ньяссе and Лаупер work to control the center, with Ньяссе looking to win the second ball and Лаупер helping to progress through the thirds. Угринич plays as an attacking ten behind the striker, finding pockets of space to create chances. This trio connects the defense to the attack by recycling possession and finding ways to break the line.

Young Boys utilize three attackers across the front to stretch the opposition. Монтейру and Элиа act as wide wingers who look to cut inside and threaten the goal, while also providing width to the formation. Иттен operates as a pressing centre-forward, leading the line by harrying the opposition back line and looking to hit in behind on the transition. The forwards work together to create runs in behind and facilitate quick combinations in the final third.

One major advantage is the ability to press high in coordinated waves, with the front three triggering the press. The team also benefits from the width provided by the wingers, which can isolate wide players in one on one situations. This pressure makes it difficult for opponents to play out from the back.

The 4-3-3 formation provides Young Boys with a strong presence in both the central and wide areas. It is a lineup best suited for matches where the team wants to dominate the ball and pin the opponent back through constant pressure.
