JS Kabylie looks to dominate through a high press and quick vertical movements in a 4-3-3. This formation is built to squeeze the pitch and use high energy to win the ball back quickly. The goal is to play a proactive style that forces errors in the opposition half through constant pressure.

Benrabah protects the goal as the goalkeeper. The defensive unit operates as a flat back four to keep the team compact. Madani and Mokeddem form the central pair, with Madani acting as a ball playing defender while Mokeddem stays more to cover the space. Hamidi and Mammeri act as full backs on either side. They are tasked to overlap the wingers when the team has possession but must track back quickly to defend against counter attacks. They must hold the line and step up to catch opponents offside.

In the middle of the pitch, the midfield functions as a three-man unit with Boudebouz acting as an attacking ten. Chekal and Sarr occupy the central roles to bridge the gap between the defense and the front line. Chekal presses aggressively to win the ball high up the pitch. Sarr works to connect the lines and carry the ball forward into the final third. This group works to control the center and ensure the team can recycle possession and find the feet of the attackers.

The attacking line consists of three players working to stretch the defense. Ouattara leads the line as a lone striker who works to hold up the ball and pin the last defender. Lahmeri and Boualia operate as wingers on the flanks. They look to cut inside to create passing lanes for the midfielders. This movement allows Hamidi and Mammeri to push higher and deliver crosses into the box. The front three press in pairs to disrupt the build up from the back and win the second ball.

This formation offers the ability to press high in coordinated waves to win it back high up the pitch. JS Kabylie benefits from a high speed of transition when they win the ball. They can create wide overloads by using the overlapping runs of the full backs. The presence of Boudebouz in the hole provides the ability to split the defense with a through ball and find runners in behind.

This 4-3-3 lineup provides a way to dictate play through high intensity and wide attacking movements. It is best suited for matches against teams that struggle to play out from the back under pressure.
