TB 5 a side team help

use this thread for any help you all mite need :icon_wink


Square
The Square formation is one of the most popular and traditional strategic systems in the small sided game.When to use: To keep things simple (maybe you have inexperienced players on your squad or lots of subs all looking for a game).
Strengths: Equally strong in both attack and defence.
Weaknesses: Easy to read, few surprises.
Use against: Opposition of any ability.
Try with: Total Soccer style.
Remember: Zone marking is important, do not get dragged out of position.

Diamond
The Diamond formation is a highly adaptable strategic system that is an efficient method of responding to the changing phases of play.When to use: To keep your options open, also if you have lots of subs to refresh midfield positions.
Strengths: Incredibly strong in both attack and defence.
Weaknesses: Risk of being caught out of position.
Use against: Opposition of similar ability.
Try with: Possession Soccer.
Remember: Sliding midfield roles are vital. These players must be fast, fit and swift to respond to changing phases of play.

Y-Shape
The Y-Shape is one of the most aggressive tactical systems available. This system can help to maximise goal scoring opportunities.When to use: Against a weaker opponent. Also highly effective when you want to maximise goal difference and not just gain points.
Strengths: Offensive play.
Weaknesses: Defence may become exposed.
Use against: Opposition of weaker ability.
Try with: Pressure Play.
Remember: The floating midfield role is vital, this player should be fast and fit.

REVERSE Y
This is an essentially defensive tactic in which a robust defence is assured as there will always be two defenders left to protect the goal area.When to use: Against a stronger opponent. Also effective against an opposition that is using the Y-Shape system.
Strengths: Defence.
Weaknesses: May yield few goals.
Use against: Opposition of stronger ability.
Try with: Counterattack.
Remember: Again, the floating midfield role is vital, this player should be fast and fit, as well as being adaptable.

Toatal soccer
Use when your opposition are man to man marking effectively and you want to wrong foot them. Stretch your players widely and switch positions often. Use a rotational system between attack and defence. This will ensure your opposition are dragged out of position, creating opportunities and openings for you.
Possession
Use when you want to build steadily and minimise the risk of losing possession. Own the ball, keep hold of it and continue to pass between yourselves. Build and watch for opportunities to cut through your opponents defences. Steadily push forward and try to establish the game in the last third of the pitch.
Pressure
Use when you are confident of your attacking ability. Highly effective against a weaker opponent, this is an offensive style of defence. Win the ball as quickly and as close to the opposition’s goal as possible. Apply swift, intense pressure on any opponent with the ball. Make sure other team members push up in support.

counter attack
Use to create attacking opportunities from a strong defensive base. Allow your opposition to come well up the pitch then work to regain possession quickly. Immediately make a long pass over many opponents into space. At the moment of passing, one or two players should rush forward in support.

That's the position we played, and we played it well.

 

[Matt_B]

We were very strict this week, the weeks before we went nuts running around. I found that by staying in position I didn't need to run as much, so my natural lazyness ensured I stayed put!

good now did you change it around at all while the game was playing ,as most formation need to change to try and match the team your playing

We played 'total football', everyone played every position depending on where they were at the breakdown of attack. Melton reminded me of Cryuff at times. :icon_lol:

I think in the first half we played the 'Diamond' but that seemed to switch to the 'Reverse Y' in the second half.
