    Each player can influence everything around him, and that influence gives the position "1 point". The numbers in the upper box (the one with colours) represent the total amount of players influencing a given position.

    Example :
    The first number is 1, in a green box (upper left corner). That means there's only one player influencing that section of the pitch, which is the left ST.
    Favorite Formations : 4-1-4-1 // 4-5-1 (F/V) // 4-4-1-1 // 4-4-2

    Some thoughts on them :

    Im still new to the game but this has been a fantastic read. I have been playing mostly 4-5-1V but have been noticing that 4-4-2 seems to always do pretty well.

    I am playing a game tomorrow and am countering his formation (left) with a kind of narrow diamond (right). I was wondering if this is messing with 4-4-2 too much with having both a DMC and a AMC but they both seem necessary. Do you think I am doing the right thing?
