Las Palmas Football Formation

Starting Lineup

Churripipimix · Alex Suárez · Andrés · Bonfanti · Adrián · Loiodice · Manu Fuster · Kirian · Miyashiro · Iván Jaime · Jesé

Las Palmas play a high press, possession based brand of football using a 4-3-3. This formation is built to control the tempo and squeeze the space in the opponent half. The lineup aims to dominate the ball and use short passing to move the opposition out of position.

Churripipimix stays between the posts to organize the back line. The defense operates as a flat back four where Alex Suárez and Adrián act as full backs. Alex Suárez pushes up to provide width while Adrián can tuck in to support the center. In the middle of the defense, Andrés and Bonfanti form a central pairing tasked with playing out from the back and covering for the full backs if they push too high. They must hold the line to ensure the team can maintain a high defensive position.

The midfield functions as a three-man midfield with a carrier and a deep protector. Loiodice sits in front of the defense as a single pivot to shield the back four and recycle possession. Beside him, Manu Fuster and Kirian act as the connectors who drive forward with the ball to link the defense to the attack. Manu Fuster and Kirian are expected to press aggressively to win the ball high up the pitch and win the second ball when the initial press is broken.

Las Palmas employ three attackers across the front to stretch the defense. Jesé acts as a pressing centre-forward to pin the last defender and lead the hunt for the ball. On the wings, Miyashiro and Iván Jaime act as inverted wingers who cut inside to create central overloads. Miyashiro and Iván Jaime seek to find the feet of the striker or pull wide to isolate a one on one. This attacking unit works to create runs in behind and allow for cutbacks from the byline.

The tactical advantages of this formation include the ability to press high in coordinated waves to force a long ball from the opponent. By using inverted wingers, the team creates numerical superiority in the middle of the park when attacking. Las Palmas also benefit from the ability to spread wide with the full backs to stretch the defense and create passing lanes through the middle.

This 4-3-3 is a proactive formation designed to dominate the ball and win it back quickly. It is best suited for games against teams that sit deep and allow Las Palmas to control the rhythm.
