I feel bad when u said it was ur most requested suggestion with 2 comments because ur such an underrated channel and most kids nowadays just sit on their Xbox or PlayStation thinking they know a lot by playing Fifa

In 1980, I was coaching a U15 team. At that time, many here in the US were still learning the rudiments of the game. We were using the 4-3-3 but didn't really know it, as the fourth defender was the 'sweeper'.... remember those? We languished midtable for several years until, after much thought, I put my best player at center half, changed the midfield to a triangle with the center up and the others back (as shown in the video), and changed the name of the center half to 'forward sweeper'. I encouraged the forward sweeper to 'underlap' the outside forwards when appropriate while keeping his defensive responsibilities in mind. We destroyed nearly everyone we played over the next three years, with average skilled players on the pitch.

This is the single most useful tactics channel I know. I've been following Tifo forever, but they rarely get to the nuts-and-bolts of specific formations they way you do. I'll be coming here often.

I'm working as a sports reporter and this is excellent work for us to understand better how the coaches use their formation. Thank you very much for all the important information! Keep up the good work!

Got a lot of questions in my head prior to watching the video. You've answer them all in this awesome and informative video. Definitely deserved more subs! Keep it up!

Supremely underrated channel. You've got yourself a new subscriber. I guess the natural next step is the 4-4-2. People call it outdated these days, but there's a simplistic beauty that can't be matched by anything else.

I am a U18 coach using the 4-3-3 now. I played this in high-school back in the 80s and loved it. The 4-3-3 is very solid and simple for beginners with the many wonderful potentials explained terrifically in this video-thanks!

I see so many tactics channels, but there is this easily digestible depth to your explanations. Great visuals. Very very good work, sir.

This is my new favourite channel, its so informative but I can tell you are incredibly funny, you just rattle little one liners off like its nothing, and that graphic... well deserved sub.

Just discovered this channel now and already one of my favorite tactics channels. Keep bringing these great videos!

I like how you provided examples of teams and players at each position. Now, I can watch those teams to see the formation in action. Also, great breakdown of the strengths and weaknesses. Fantastic Job!

This channel is very underrated. Keep up the good work 👍🏽

Great job explaining each individual players duties, my daughters team plays this formation and I’m sure this video will help her and her teammates learn the game that much more! Thanks again.

great talk. I have played a 4-2-3-1 and is very similar to the 4-3-3 . When you attack from a 4-2-3-1 in theory you would become a 4-3-3. Only different is when saying it as a 4-2-3-1 the wingers understand they have to go back and defend where as a 4-3-3 they might think they can stay up front. when choosing a formation you have to play to the strength of your players and not forcing them into doing that they are not good at.

Great review. I'm playing football manager and sometimes I get confused with the roles I should give to my players but you made it all clear to me. Thumbs up my guy

My academy has been trying to teach these principles to the players for a year with little to no results but you've explained then perfectly in under 15 minutes. I honestly wish we sometimes had strictly tactical training, as all weaknesses and setbacks you explained are what's keeping us from finishing top of the league. (we often finish 3rd or 4th due to individual games where we concede too many goals.)

Thank so much for making informative and high quality videos! You're very underrated but remember the people who use the info in the videos are extremely grateful for you.

Bro you are doing great work... It's a shame to see so much less subscribers on your channel and less likes on your videos but mate keep doing your good work, we will support you and hope in future you will get much more appreciation for your great work 😍

Excellent description of roles, thanks man I'm learning a lot please create more content explaining other formations as well👏👏

Great video. I have used this for years with my high school and club team to score a high number of goals each season. We are utilizing It now with my Girls premier U18 team. We scored 12 goals in our first 3 matches and only had 4 against. The team that score more than the other guys always wins!

The team I play for plays this formation and everything you said was spot on. Really helpful and great video.

Thanks for your videos, it's hard to find anyone else who explains tactics, keep making content and good luck

Incredible video. A complex subject explained in a very simple way but covering everything involved...Very good and thanks for the video.

I've played soccer all my life and ive never had a coach explain anything in detail like you have in this video. Absolutely so informative.

Brother, I loved this video and explanation of the scenarios. I coach, and I will be rewatching this more. Great value in the content. Thank you so much for putting this together!

This video is absolutely stellar. I usually know the basic ideas of a formation but struggle to properly articulate it whenever I'm talking. Not only that, but the USMNT, the national team I follow, employs this formation with the absence of a creator, and it always feels like a struggle to make chances in open play. Because of this, a lot of people are calling for Musah or Reyna to start in that position instead of on the wing, but we've yet to see Gregg Berhalter do anything of the sort. You also made note of the biggest weakness of the USMNT this year - our transition from offense to defense is usually slow and dangerously so.

Really great video! Thanks for the thorough explanation of the 4-3-3.

just found this channel. treasure. keep it up my guy.

Good video. I have to say I was a fan of the 3-5-2 formation, for its flexibility and fluidity, you have to look at balance and as I like to have that and wingers, thjis seems to win the day.Not withstanding that England, to add to the list of teams you mention won a worldcup with this 4 3 3, it kind of speaks for itself. I enjoyed it and have subscribed to your channel

That's call real content. I like how this guy explained pretty well using animation. That's pretty informative and useful. Thanks

Amen! I’ve been coaching for 15 years and I love this channel!

This is my first ever video from your channel, and I have paused the video at 2:14 to post this comment, and to hit the subscribe button! Love from India!

Wow! Amazing video and the explanation was complete and logical! Congratulations for your work! 👏🏻👏🏻😘

This is the best channel that I have come across. Thanks brother for making it easy to understand these formations.

I´ve been looking for a video like this for years. Thank you so much

God damn, I just wanted to get better at FIFA and understand tactics more when watching games, I’ve looked everywhere and this was the most useful and simplest explanation I’ve come across. Subbed. Thank you for such quality 🙏🏽

Well done! Thanks for the overview of the 4.3.3!

Can you please make a video of Cruyff's 343 diamond system... thanks

Fantastic video. It was just what I needed to understand for formation. Thanks!

Just came across your channel, this is the first video I've came across. Love how detailed and in depth you go! I really love the tactical and analysis side of the game and this is just what I'm looking for. Cause I know my tactics and it's good to share my own mind with your videos and compare views it's great! Keep It up 👍👊 just subbed

thanks for your content bro, you definitely know what you're talking about. Cheers mate

Griezmann as target man at barca gave me a good chuckle. Nice try bro. That really worked out well!

Really great video. Our coach (USA) needs to watch this so he understands how the formation he wants to play should work, haha.

Brilliant work mate💯

After watching this video analysis, I now understand why Arteta's young Arsenal team is doing so good in EPL... Every detail u shared is being followed by Gunners, with inverted full backs to covering runs and wingers track backing for defensive duties... Wonderful!! ⚽ #COYG #ComeOnArsenal Thank u for this detailed breakdown.. Appreciate it!! 🙏👌

You have been amazing . Keep doing the stuff you are doing 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

One of the best explanation videos so far..you've earned a new sub

Me and my team just won our first match of the season using the 433 formation. We thought we performed better with the 442 formation but nothing could be further from the truth. We were explicitly told to keep the midfielders close to each other, and it worked wonders.

My team plays this a lot, thanks for making this video, it helped me a lot!

why am I only finding this now well explained with examples as well been looking for this type of content you got a new sub

This is so enlightening and well detailed.

This is an astute explanation.... I just subscribed !!!

I love your work it's insightful

Wow mate I love football and my favourite formation is 4-3-3 . I love the tactical side to the game👍🏼 good work mate

Great content and best for me to learn more on the 4-3-3 formation.

Very thorough and excellent analysis on 4-3-3!I will work as a head coach for the first time this year and find your channel and analysis very interesting!Keep up the good work! Ps one question where did you buy your tactical board?

Thanks man awesome video!

I love football but I didn't understand it that much with this channel I am learning a lot big ups

Showing real in game examples of what you’re talking about would put the icing on this wonderful cake of information

Just discovered this channel and i think I just found what would make me excel in my coaching career

Well done with the analysis

Such an underrated channel. Deserves a million subscribers

Both as a player (when I played, select traveling team, middle school team, HS Varsity and in College) and later on as a coach - my favorite formation is/was a straight/flat 4-3-3 or attacking 4-3-3 with the left and right midfielders playing out wide. The defenders would cover from our goal to just a little over the midfield line, the outside mid would cover from our 18 to their 18 (except for the center mid who cover from our goal line to just over their 18, the offensive wingers would cover from just inside our half to their goal line and the striker would cover from just within our half to their goal line. I started out as the starting goalie and then later on I moved to a field player and was usually the starting center mid and at times (on my select team) the starting striker; unless the other team had all-star player (such as when I played against former American National and WC team captain Team Ramos (in a u-19 tournament) - then I'd be the starting center mid, mark him and shut him down. The 4-3-3 is also most balanced, yet attacking formation and the best formation for either "long ball" or a combination of "short ball" and "long ball". The key to the 4-3-3 working is the center-mid (which is like the QB in American football) he/she controls the midfield, the game and the pace - if you don't have a quality center mid; then your best to play a 4-4-2 or a 3-5-2. In brief.

12:14 now I get why Klopp shouts at his wingers to track back constantly

Fantastic video, I will recommend it to all my players for the next season

This channel is Goated super informative

Very informative. Thank you

Great video!

bro....i love this content...keep it up mate..

Gorgeous post. 100% coherent

Great video and analysis....

Please make a video on how Italian managers like Conte, Allegri or others like Mourinho defend and form defensive layers to frustrate the opposition. Nice work!

First vid I've watched from you. You've earned yourself a sub, good sir

Great channel. Keep it up.

Great works keep it up

Great videos, as a coach ,it made me a better tactician. Keep it up .

Phenomenal explanation. I subbed

you deserve a million subs

Love these tactical videos

Amazing!, i just discoverd this channel. U r not just making me understand football tactics better but u also will make me a better player on fifa(Playstation).Thanks

I love your contents ....this channnel is so underrated ...😔 Keep making football tactics videos mate. Love from North East India 🤩

Great explanation 👍🏽👍🏽

Interesting, I've been playing MLS league in FIFA 22 and my local team uses this form the most. My player in the Attacking mid right pos would start out really strong and help obtain a lead as I made him very fast. But on legend diff towards the end of the game when I've lost stamina or if I committed my player to far forward they would pick apart my back line and lead to high scoring games. Cool stuff!

Great content keep it up

Wow really enjoyed this video.

Hi am new to this video and am very impressed by the way you explained the 433. This formation i use all the time playing fifa cuz its very dinamic and its well balanced and works really well in transitioning. Who knows one day i can see coaching as a career

Simple and clear❤️

Amazing content 👍
