New England's Offensive Strategy
- New England Revolution's primary formation is 4-2-3-1, although they often alternate into 4-3-3 with the attacking midfielder dropping deeper to offer a closer option for the midfield pivots to play a short passing game with and the wingers moving up and gaining more freedom to make runs either down the byline or in the box as wing-forwards.
- New England's style of play is primarily based on keeping possession of the ball and using it to attack vertically down the flanks, especially on the right hand side, although because of the technical quality they have in the center of midfield, they are comfortable with playing short passing but in a way in which they could bring it to the final third and create chances in a direct manner, rather than using it as a patient, methodical ploy like most possession-minded teams do.
