Seattle's Offensive Strategy

-Seattle Sounders' main formation is 4-2-3-1 that can also alternate into 4-2-1-3 with the wingers pushed higher up as forwards or 4-3-3 with the attacking midfielder dropping deeper in support of the midfield, mainly for defensive purposes when the team doesn't have possession of the ball.

-Seattle's primary style of play is to play possessive based soccer and keep the ball at their feet as much as they can. With their possession, they like to attack down the flanks, particularly the right hand side, and attempt many crosses when they get into positions to put balls into the box.
