What’s everyone’s favourite formation?

Sat Oct 05, 2024 12:10 pm

I was brought up on a 4-4-2 formation but eventually football evolved and new methods and formations came about.

This is not about Cardiff City or what players you have or need but which formation do you like to watch or if you had to coach a local team.

My would be 4-3-3.
So what’s yours?

I like 3-5-2 personally. That’s what I play on FIFA anyway haha

1-10.

Seriously though, 4-4-2.
Old school yes, but for me, it's about attack as the best form of defence.

Cardiff City are 442.

Big man, little man up top.

Anything else is wrong and utter woke nonsense/games gone.

Plain old 442.

Too many people trying out fancy formations when they don't have the players for it.

4-4-2 job done.

Two upfront especially at home.

Evans and Alston
Gilligan and Bartlett
Thorne and Earnshaw
Bothroyd and Chopra

4-3-3 is my personal fave with the right personnel which we don't have, so......

4-4-1-1 Colwill in behind and to be told you will be fined if you come deep to pick the ball up from the CB

4-4-2 because i want to see Robinson alongside a striker so he can play in the pocket

Or one that I would love to see with this group of players but will never happen, is 3-4-1-2, Daland, Fish and Goutas at the back, Chambers and Robertson in the middle with O Dowda and Tanner either side, Rubin in a free floating forward minded 10, with Robinson playing off Kanga up top.

We are all football managers in our heads
