Team shape from defending to attacking in 3-3-1-1 preparing for a back three at 11 v 11ĭefensive shape is at the red triangle cones. We have previously covered the roles of 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, and 10 in the 7 v 7 and their roles are very similar to the 9 v 9 so we will just address the wide players (7) and (11) and some pertinent relationships between players in the 9 v 9. In this set up the shadow striker has perhaps slightly less defensive duties than the shadow striker in the 7 v 7 did due to the positioning and higher number of players on the team.ĭefensive positioning is more in front (8) than beside of (8) as it would be in the 7 v 7. (8) Is like a link midfield player and (10) is the shadow striker in behind (9) the central striker in a truer sense of the word than at 7 v 7. (6) is also STILL playing a more characteristic Number (6) role as in the 11 v 11 team. ![]() ![]() (6) Can still be compared to center backs (4) and (5) in their roles though in a more attacking minded way in the way I believe we can play. We want them to get up and down the field as our wide outlets and building relationships with each other, (2) two with (7) and (3) with (11). Now (2) And (3) have (7) and (11) in front of them to help both in defense and in attack. So I am working off the fact this will transition into a 1-3-3-1-3 or a 1-4-2-3-1 because the 1-3-3-1-3 is the attacking shape of the 1-4-2-3-1 anyway (that’s another book of which I have two written to explain each formation also). But then if we evaluated every permutation then this book would be a 1000 pages long but I will at least offer two examples with a back 3 and a back 4! You could argue also of course that it depends which 11 v 11 you use as to how it transitions which would also be correct. You could of course use different formations at 9 v 9 but I'm basing it on this one because it’s closer to the set up of the 11 v 11 so it transitions easily into it. Here we are looking at players 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 10 and 11 of the 11 v 11 and we will look at them in this particular formation of 1-3-3-1-1.
