Build the relationships, not just the shape

A 4-3-3 can press high, control possession or attack transitions. The holding midfielder, number eights, wingers and full-backs must complement one another so the team keeps width without losing central protection.

Start with the midfield triangle

Choose a stable six, then decide how much creation and running the two eights provide. Explore defensive midfielders, playmakers and wide attackers.
