4231 like Jean-Marc Furlan.

[candystroy]

Hi everyone, 

I don’t if you know this guy, Jean-Marc Furlan, he is a French manager, known in France for being recordman of promotions from ligue 2 to ligue 1.

 

He tried to played in442 diamond years ago, but since about a decade he mostly play in 4231/442 and 433.

He tries to play offensive and risky football based on possession.

 

Here some details on the last seasons :

possession 54.8 %

offensive actions 51.9/game (45.9% on the left).

The team has a high block and he loves his wingers to act in the half-space like playmakers. (Crosses come from wingbacks)

I tried to replicate his 4231.

 

SK-support 

 

WB-support

CD-defense

CD- defense

FB-support 

 

BWM- defense 

DLP-support

(both in CM starta)

 

IF-support

AM-attack 

Winger-attack

 

Pressing Forward-attack

 

Mentality : positive 

In possession : Play out of defense, shorter passing, Work ball in the box, slightly narrower 

Transitions : counter-Press, stay in place

in defense : higher LOE, higher DL.

 

what do you think of this setup for the kind of football i want to replicate ?

If your looking to play a double pivot in the midfield then BWM on any duty can be a bit risky in my opinion especially if it's on the same side as your wing back.

Cm D would work better for me. But depends on what your looking for.
