Some formations were created to address deficits or strengths in different types of players. Formations need to be chosen bearing in mind which players are available. Skill and discipline on the part of the players is needed to implement a given formation effectively in professional football. The choice of formation is typically made by a team's manager or head coach. In the formation: 4-2-3-1 (defender, defensive midfielder, wingers, striker), triangles are created allowing for more fluid passing of the ball and better team movement.
Different formations can be used depending on whether a team wishes to play more attacking or defensive football, and a team may switch formations between or during games for tactical reasons.
For example, the popular "4–5–1" formation has four defenders, five midfielders, and a single forward. Nevertheless, a player's position in a formation generally defines whether a player has a mostly defensive or attacking role, and whether they tend to play towards one side of the pitch or centrally.įormations are typically described by three or four numbers, which denote how many players are in each row of the formation from the most defensive to the most forward. Association football is a fluid and fast-moving game, and (with the exception of the goalkeeper) a player's position in a formation does not define their role as rigidly as for, for instance, a rugby player, nor are there episodes in play where players must expressly line up in formation (as in gridiron football). In association football, the formation describes how the players in a team generally position themselves on the pitch. The players are arranged in 2–3–5 formation.
