This system gives support to the backline as well as the midfield.
It relies on the 2 forwards to do a lot of running in defence and play further forward when their team is in possession.
When to use:
If your team is very fit and want to force the other team back by creating overloads in your defence and midfield.
Coaching points
Disadvantages:
The disadvantage of this system is that you only have 2 forwards, however they can be assisted by the wide midfielders, who can support the attack (see image).
Limitations:
This formation should only be played with a very fit midfield and is not recommended to any team below a 2nd team level.
