Formations

Numbered shapes coaches actually use: 4-3-3 first, then the rest of the handbook.

The formations desk starts with 4-3-3: four at the back, three in midfield, three in attack. That is the shape Bing readers already open. The best-formations handbook and the 7v7 guide are the other two lookups coaches actually use.

Height by position is the sibling desk for who fits which line. Other numbered shapes (4-2-3-1, 3-4-3, 5-3-2, 4-5-1) stay in the list below. Use the chips to jump back to Strategy or across to Positions. This page is a map, not a replacement for the 4-3-3 article.
