Team Shape
Highly Structured:
Defenders are responsible only for the defensive phase.
Midfielders are responsible only for the transition phase.
Forwards are responsible only for the attacking phase.
Structured:
Central defenders are responsible only for the defensive phase.
The full backs and more defensive midfielders are responsible for defensive and transition phases.
The wingers and more attacking midfielders are responsible for the transition and attacking phases.
The forwards are responsible only for the attacking phases.
Flexible:
Defenders and more defensive midfielders are responsible for defensive and transition phases.
More attacking midfielders and forwards are responsible for both transition and attack phases.
Fluid:
The team is split into broad attacking and defensive units with the more creative players responsible for the attacking phase and the more defensively disciplined players responsible for the defensive phase. However, players from both units are responsible for the transition phase when the right opportunity comes.
Very Fluid:
Attackers must be able to defend and defenders must be able to attack, with players relying on the reading of the game and each other’s movement to shift in and out of each phase at the right time.
According to these descriptions:
Player Roles and Duties
1.
"Attack" duty corresponds to attacking phase
"Support" duty corresponds to transition phase
"Defend" duty corresponds to defensive phase
2.
GK SW DC DRL DMC WBRL are inherently responsible for defensive phase
MC MRL AMC AMRL are inherently responsible for transition phase
ST is inherently responsible for attacking phase
For example, if we choose Deep-lying Forward (Attack), he will be only responsible for attacking phase.
However, if we choose Deep-lying Forward (Support), he will be responsible for both attacking phase and transition phase.
Suitable Player Roles and Duties in each Team Shape:
"Roam from position" instruction corresponds to the philosophy of the Very Fluid team shape: "with players relying on the reading of the game and each other’s movement to shift in and out of each phase at the right time."
