Christmas Tree. Has anyone ever used Christmas Tree come to think of it.

I love 4-3-3, too.

I'd love to see a team play 1-6-3

[Ameritoon]

4-4-2. The wingers pushing up, essentially as attacking midfielders, two CM's staying deep, but one more creative and attacking. And usually a forward that can come back and get the ball.

[Guest NewBoyPeetah]

4-3-3 or 4-5-1

[Ronaldo]

4-3-3 or 4-5-1

 

[Beren]

Flying V.

 

Quack, quack, QUACK, QUACK!!

[Ikon]

4-2-3-1

[JH]

4-4-2.

 

Have never seen the appeal in 1 man upfront, especially for us.

[Guest palnese]

4-3-1-2 / 4-2-4 Keegan

[Guest n4e]

4-2-3-1

[Cronky]

When 4-3-3 works, it can be pretty spectacular.

[cp40]

4-2-3-1. 

 

flat back4, 2dms,  2 wingers, 1 in the hole, picking up from- 1 traditional cf. the best football to watch.

The 1–6–3 formation was first utilized by Japan at the behest of General Yoshijiro Umezu in 1936. Famously, Japan defeated the heavily favored Swedish team 3–2 at the 1936 Olympics with the unorthodox 1–6–3 formation, before going down 8–0 to Italy

It's ludicrous how some managers favour a formation and try to shoehorn players into it with seemingly little regard of whether they are suitable. Allardyce was the classic example.

[Yorkie]

Keegan's 4-3-1-2 was arguably the most dynamic formation i've ever seen for us. The way it was tailor-made to suit every single member of the starting eleven was just fantastic. Especially how it was with a side that hadn't won for about three months.

And he made players like Butt and Geremi look good.
