Martin Pastornický (7,24) · Lukáš Havel (7,26) · Pavel Novák (7,22) · Lukáš Matějka (7,20) · Jakub Hora (7,18) · Jiří Kateřiňák (7,15) · Jakub Barac (7,14) · Jan Buryán (7,12) · Petr Plachý (7,04) · Petr Hepner (6,92) · Ondřej Bláha (6,87)Táborsko focuses on a high press and quick transitions through a 4-3-3 formation. This lineup is built to win the ball high up the pitch and strike quickly before the opposition can reset. The team looks to dominate the middle of the park while using wide areas to stretch the defense.
Martin Pastornický guards the goal as the last line of defense. The back line works as a flat four to maintain compactness. Pavel Novák and Lukáš Havel operate as the central pair, with Pavel Novák acting as a ball playing defender to start attacks. Petr Hepner and Petr Plachý provide width from the flanks, with Petr Hepner looking to overlap to support the wingers and Petr Plachý staying more disciplined to cover the space behind.
The midfield uses a single pivot with two players sitting just ahead of him to control the tempo. Ondřej Bláha and Jakub Hora occupy the central roles, where they work to intercept passes and break the lines with vertical runs. Jiří Kateřiňák operates as the attacking ten, sitting in the pockets of space to connect the midfield to the front line. This trio works to shield the defense and drive the team forward through short passes.
In the attacking phase, Táborsko utilizes three attackers to pin the opposition back. Lukáš Matějka acts as the lone striker, tasked to hold up the ball and bring others into play. Jan Buryán and Jakub Barac play as wide wingers, looking to cut inside or receive the ball in one on one situations. The wingers press the opposing full backs intensely to force turnovers in the final third.
One major advantage of this formation is the ability to press high in coordinated waves to disrupt the opponent. The team also gains wide overloads when Petr Hepner and Petr Plachý push forward to join the attackers. This creates numerical superiority in the wide channels, making it difficult for the opposition to mark both the winger and the full back.
This 4-3-3 formation creates a relentless attacking presence through high pressing. It is best suited for games where the team wants to dominate possession and force errors from a struggling defense.
