433 NARROW ROLES ATTRIBUTES AND TRAITS EXPLAINED

In Football Manager (FM), the 4-3-3 formation relies on specific player roles and attributes
to function effectively. A narrow 4-3-3, with wingers playing more centrally, aims to
control the midfield, create passing triangles, and dominate the center of the pitch. Key
roles include a defensive midfielder, central midfielders with good passing range, and
technically gifted wingers who can drift inside.
Here's a breakdown of roles, attributes, and traits in a narrow 4-3-3:
Defensive Line:

 Full-backs (or Wing-backs):

Need to be strong defensively, with good pace and tackling to deal with counters
when the wingers push inside.

  Central Defenders:
Require good marking, tackling, and heading to win aerial duels and defend the central
area.

Midfield:

 Defensive Midfielder (DM):

Needs to be a strong tackler, good at intercepting passes, and have decent passing
range to distribute the ball. Key attributes include tackling, marking, passing, and
anticipation.

  Central Midfielders (CM):


Should be comfortable in possession, with good passing, technique, and vision to dictate the
tempo of the game. Attributes like passing, technique, vision, and first touch are crucial.
  Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM):
A player who can link the midfield to attack with creativity, dribbling, and passing.
Attributes like dribbling, passing, technique, and flair are important.

Attack:

 Inside Forwards (Wingers):


In a narrow 4-3-3, wingers operate closer to the central area, requiring excellent
dribbling, technique, and finishing. Attributes such as dribbling, finishing,
technique, and off the ball movement are key.

 Striker:

Needs to be a clinical finisher with good off the ball movement, and ideally possess
good hold-up play to bring others into the game. Key attributes include finishing,
composure, off the ball, and first touch.

Key Traits:

 Tries Killer Balls Often:

Encourages the player to attempt risky passes, which can unlock defenses but may
also lead to turnovers.

  Dictates Tempo:
Allows the player to control the game's rhythm, often seen in central midfielders or deep-
lying playmakers.
  Comes Deep to Get Ball:
Good for midfielders who like to get involved in build-up play from deep positions.
  Gets Into Opposition Area:
Ideal for wingers and strikers who make runs into the box to get on the end of crosses and
passes.

Formation Flexibility:
The 4-3-3 can be adjusted to be more defensive or attacking. For example, the central
midfielders could be told to sit deeper, or the wingers could be instructed to stay wide to
stretch the play. The formation's adaptability allows managers to tailor it to their players'
strengths and the opponent's weaknesses.
