Oluf Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Hey, I am currently using a 4-2-3-1 formation with my chelsea team (2nd season), and I am wondering if this foramtion suits Chelsea, or if another formation would suit them better? I tried 4-3-3DM a lot in the first season, but it didn't really work. Any suggestions? Also, is there anything "wrong" with my 4-2-3-1? (roles and team instructions) Edited January 4, 2021 by Oluf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Experienced Defender Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Chelsea can definitely play in a 4231 and your setup of roles and duties looks quite decent to me. Instructions could be a problem though. You use needlessly too many of them and - which is even worse - they look somewhat incoherent, I would remove the vast majority of them and start with only these: - play out of defence - counter-press and distribute quickly - higher D-line, offside trap and split block Everything else would be left on default and then only occasionally small subtle tweaks would be made depending on the situation.
