Città di Palermo Football Formation

Lineup (5-4-1)

3-2-2-2-1/5-4-1/3-5-1-1

I've chosen this formation to get the best out of the players available. It's a fluid, changing formation that will adapt, depending on the circumstances.

Whilst defending it will be a tight 5-4-1 with the wing backs dropping deep and defensive midfielder, dropping into the sweeper role.

On the attack, switching to 3-2-2-1 the wing backs will be providing most of the width and the midfield will be operating as a 'magic square' with the advanced/attacking midfielders linking up with the striker and becoming additional forwards, when needed.

Should the team find they are defending well, but being over-ran in midfield, they can switch to a 3-5-1-1, crowding out the opposition's midfield whilst pushing on of the AM's forward to play in the hole, behind the striker.
