Talking Tactics 4-3W-3
Season 20


This season, for the very first time, Go Leo will deploy 3 strikers in a prefered formation of 4-3W-3.

It is not like Go Leo never played three strikers before, having used 4-2-1-3 effectively in a Cup match 2 seasons ago to successfully overturn a 3-0 first leg deficit, but this will be the first time they will be using this for the majority of their matches.

Quite excited with how the season will unfold with this very attack heavy but light midfield formation.

The weakest point of the squad is centre of midfield and an underperforming midfielder could undo all the good work.

The academy strikers Mark Closeley & Caan Score, who have struggled to play alongside each other as a twin strikerforce, seem to thrive playing flanking a central striker, in this case, Osman Mehlem.

As with most flat formations, I prefer to play mixed passing, with mixed focus. I've given up on the offside trap for the last 3 seasons now and will continue to play without.

Tackling is set as hard as usual to ensure that the ball is won and passed out quickly.
