5-3-2: The ultimate underdog formation?

September 19, 2022 Dictate The Game Comments 9 Comments

I became intrigued with the 5-3-2 after watching the Prime documentary, Six Dreams, which led me to research more about the then-Girona Manager, Pablo Machin. He guided Girona to La Liga and narrowly missed out on the European places, using a 5-3-2 and 5-2-3. He then moved onto Sevilla and implemented a 5-3-2 which beat Real Madrid 3-0. Upon expanding my research I looked at Inzaghi’s 5-3-2 at Lazio, when he took to Inter. After reading numerous articles about both…

Total Football Journeyman: Libero Search and The Tactical Creative Spine

August 3, 2022 crusadertsar Comments 1 Comment

Looking back through the long history of football, there is one position that has become virtually extinct. Almost. Luckily it still lives on in the Football Manager franchise. I am talking about a role of a centreback that sits back and sweeps up balls played in behind the defence. Then on the offensive he charges forward as a deep-lying playmaker. Called “libero” in Italian and made famous by players like Gaetano Scirea, Franco Baresi and Ronald Koeman. The following article…

FM22 – Tactical Styles: Vertical Tiki Taka

July 29, 2022 TheFMTeacher Comments 1 Comment

The aim is to create vertical incisive passes, rather…
