ON THE TACTICS BOARD
How the 3-4-3 works
Three centre-backs support a four-player midfield and three forwards. The wide midfielders supply width while the outside forwards can move into the half-spaces.
Start from the goalkeeper, through defense and midfield, up to attack. Drag the markers to adjust width and the distance between each line.
What it gives you
Spreads the attacking line across the pitch with support from wide midfielders.
What to watch
The central midfield pair need support against teams using three in the middle.
