desmond91 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Hi everyone, I am using a 4-3-3. In possession, i want my fullback to overlap and attack the wide areas WHILE the mezzala underlap and run inside. Which setting should I use? Overlap or Underlap?

Don't use any of them, just leave it blank/unticked. This will tell your players to make a decision on their own and be flexible in their approach. If you want your fullback to overlap, make sure he's on more of an attacking role (e.g. WB-su, FB-at), the Mezzala should make underlapping runs on his own. What role do you use on the flanks? Just as a warning: If your fullback bombs forward and your Mezzala runs the inside channel - if you lose the ball, that side of the pitch will be wide open! Make sure you have some sort of coverage on that side of the pitch (e.g. a DM-de or an Anchor Man). You could also go for overlap on one side and underlap on the other side of the pitch. Bayern Munich do this all the time (Davies overlaps left, Goretzka/Müller/Mazraoui underlap on the right with Coman/Gnabry holding width). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
