Asymmetric Formation

Total Football Formation - The Dutch way



Total Football is something more than a formation. It's a philosophy, like Catenaccio. In Total Football every player on the pitch can posse a threat to opposition keeper, no matter the role he has in the game. Even the keeper can score if possible. There is no standar tactic to represent Total Football, any tactic can be "Total Football", but you can try out the original approach to this way of playing, which is the formation that Holland use nowadays.

-Team Mentality: Attacking
-Passing Focus: From the flanks
-Pressing Style: Own Half
-Tackling: Normal
-Passing Style: Short
-Mark: Zonal
-No Offside trap
-Yes Counter Attack

Note: These are the original instructions, I agree to some, I disagree to other. Alter them in order to fit your squad.
