Arsenal Formation 2013

Arsenal Football Formation

Creation DateSeptember 21, 2013

Lineup (4-1-3-2)

Olivier Giroud · Theo Walcott · Mesut Ozil · Jack Wilshere · Aaron Ramsey · Mathieu Flamini · Bacary Sagna · Kieran Gibbs · Per Mertesacker · Laurent Koscielny · Wojciech Szczesny

I based this on player form and current injury's.

The defense is basic and personnel can be changed accordingly.

The DM role can be maintained by Flamini, Arteta or Wilshire should need be.

The midfield three are very important, i feel this allows good triangle shapes for the whole attacking force. when the two CM's drop back it allows the AM room to stay up field to supply defense splitting passes.

Also one forward will used as a target man to hold up the ball or drag open defenses.

This formation may be a touch narrow, but i feel it uses ozil well and allows theo to play as a striker along side a target man hopefully giving him room to drag away defenders or be a little micheal owen and make good use of pace by sitting on defenders shoulders looking for knock ons etc.
