Seattle Sounders’ formation (4-2-3-1)
(All other graphics all linked with words and/or sentences below.)
Seattles’ Offensive Strategy
-Seattle Sounders’ primary formation is 4-2-3-1 under Brian Schmetzer, although they are capable of shifting to a 4-2-1-3 with the wingers pushing up to become wide forwards, which places greater responsibility on the #10 to drop a bit deeper to link the midfield and attack together.
-Seattle’s primary style of play is possession based soccer with an emphasis on attacking through the flanks with diagonal oriented ball circulation to the wide players.
