ON THE TACTICS BOARD
How the 4-3-3 works
Four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards. Start with one holding midfielder behind two central midfielders, then move the wide forwards to set your attacking width.
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
Creates passing triangles and gives wide forwards space to attack.
What to watch
Advanced full-backs need cover when possession changes.
