This is such a cool thread @dcayton9 thanks so much! Have really found it helpful in "tailoring the right suit for the team" as Conte would say.
One question I have is on the 5 channels concept below -
If you play with two strikers (STCL and STCR), would you say these attack the centre or the half spaces? The classic AF / DLF combo would have both forwards moving into the channels so I would assume the Half Space, but would they also need "Stay Wider?"
Equally if you have a Poacher or Target Forward in one of these offset striker roles, would it be safe to assume they stay central, even if they aren't exactly in the middle as with a single striker system?
