JOP4'S - TOTAL FOOTBALL​

​

+TWEAK IS FOR TEAMS THAT LIKE TO SIT DEEPER+

A bold and high-octane attacking system that utilizes a back five, a single deep-lying playmaker, and an advanced asymmetric midfield to overload central and right-sided areas. Designed for teams that dominate possession and thrive on aggressive pressing and sharp transitions, this shape is particularly effective at pulling defenders out of shape while creating chaos in the penalty box.​

This tactic blends verticality with technical flair, ideal for clubs with dynamic wing-backs, a midfield creator, and two physically imposing forwards. The asymmetric design—with an Advanced Playmaker floating in the left half-space—adds unpredictability and exploits defensive imbalances.

​

• Formation: 5-1-2-2 WB Asymmetric (CL)
• Mentality: Attacking
• Team Fluidity: Structured
• Focus: Central and vertical penetration, wide wing-back support, intense counter-press
