FORMATIONS
1-1-2-1
BALANCED
This is the 4-4-2 of 5-A-Side strategies. Simple, disciplined and balanced from defence to attack.
1-1-0-3
ALL OUT ATTACK
If you think goals are the order of the day, then this is the formation for you. Attack, Attack, Attack!
1-3-0-1
PARK THE BUS
If you're expecting a backs-against-the-wall job, load up your team with defenders and cheer the tackles and bookings.
0-1-2-2
RUSH GOALIE
Now and then you get a game where the goalkeepers probably wish they'd stayed at home - we've got just the formation for that!
1-0-2-2
SHOOT ON SIGHT
If you're expecting the defenders to be left for dust, this could be the way to go - let your strikers rack up the shots.
0-1-1-3
GUNG-HO!
Time to go for it! With just one defender and one midfielder behind you, this formation is all about the firepower.
POSITIONS
KEEPER
To Concede X Goals:
Every successful team in history has been laid upon the foundation of a great goalkeeper. But no goalie is superhuman, and in Five-A-Side, you choose how many goals you think your goalie will let in. Remember though, you can also support your keeper to the hilt and back a clean sheet.
CRUNCHER
To Make X Tackles:
If you think one side are going to be on the back foot, then stick a cruncher in your team to rack up the tackles. It doesn’t matter if he gets booked, it’s the tackles which count.
HACKER
To Be Carded:
Somebody has to keep the referee busy. And if you think the man in black will be dishing out a card to a particular player, then it doesn’t matter how or why he’s in the book, he’s the hacker for you.
BALLER
To Make X Passes:
Sideways, backwards, short, long. It doesn’t matter what sort of pass your baller makes, a pass is a pass. And remember, central defenders pass the ball more than you think in the modern game
PLAYMAKER
To Have X Assists:
While your baller racks up the passes, the playmaker is the one who sets up the goals. Got a player in mind to provide that wicked ball across or split-through pass? You’ve found your Five-A-Side playmaker.
SNIPER
To Have X Shots:
You can’t fault a striker for trying, right? It doesn’t matter how unlikely the shot or even if it goes into row z, if you think a player will shoot whenever he gets a sight of goal, then the Sniper role is the way to go.
SHARP-SHOOTER
To Have X Shots on Target:
But of course, every sniper would rather be a sharp-shooter. Get a shot on target and you never know what might happen. The Sharp-Shooter role is all about testing the keeper with shots on target.
CHANCER
To Have X Shots Outside The Box:
When they go in, they’re spectacular. And not everyone has the talent to pull it off. But if you’ve got your eye on a long-distance genius or perhaps a set-piece wizard, get him in the chancer role.�
FINISHER
To Score X Goals:
Goals, goals, goals. Nothing else matters in this role. It could be a striker with 20+ a season or a defender towering in with a couple of headers. Goals are the only thing a finisher is concerned about in your Five-A-Side team.
