Custom Team Football Formation

Starting Lineup

Focusing on a heavy high press and rapid verticality, this team operates using a 3-4-3 formation. The lineup is built to win the ball high up the pitch and strike quickly before the opposition can settle. Every player in this system is tasked with maintaining high intensity to stretch the defence and create constant chaos in the final third.

LICERAS acts as the last line of defence in goal. The back three consists of XIKER as the left centre-back, CARO in the middle, and MARÍN as the right centre-back. This trio functions as a zonal line that can step up to squeeze the space or drop into a low block when under heavy pressure. XIKER and MARÍN are expected to cover the wide areas when the midfield pushes forward, while CARO stays central to command the area and win the header during set pieces.

The midfield relies on a central block designed to dominate the center of the pitch. DUARTE sits as a central pivot to shield the defence and recycle possession, allowing CANDELAS and BALLARÍN to operate as two central midfielders who drive forward with the ball. SANDJI plays as an attacking ten behind the striker, acting as the main link to connect the midfield and attack. SANDJI looks to find the pockets of space between the lines to play through the lines and trigger attacking movements.

In the attacking phase, the team utilizes three attackers to pin the last defender. ARIEL leads the line as a lone striker, tasked to hold up the ball and find the feet of the midfielders. On the flanks, ALE CONTRERAS acts as an inverted winger on the left, while ROI TATO operates as a wide winger on the right to provide width. These attackers press from the front to force a long ball from the opposition, creating opportunities to win the second ball and break quickly in transition.

One major advantage for this team is the ability to press high in coordinated waves, making it difficult for opponents to play out from the back. The wide positioning of ALE CONTRERAS and ROI TATO combined with the movement of the central midfielders allows for wide overloads. This setup creates many one on one situations for the wingers when the ball is switched play.

This 3-4-3 formation is built for a high intensity, aggressive style of play. It is best suited for matches against teams that struggle to play under pressure and rely on slow buildup.
