TEAM WILLHSE
Woah wtf Will has only got one central defender, wtf is going on?!?!”
“Will has lost his mind, this (insert bland 442/433/traditional 352 formation) team will beat this crazily attacking team easily”
That is where you’re wrong you see. I come before you today with a tactic never seen before (to my knowledge) on this draft forum. This will revolutionise draft for the foreseeable future. I present to you Chris Wilder’s 3-5-2 with overlapping centre-backs, yes you heard that correctly.
Video explaining the formation and tactics very well:

“Essentially, we try to pen opposition teams in with controlled possession in their final third, at which point one of our wide centre-backs bombs on to create an overload. It sounds like it shouldn’t work, but it does – we’ve got a lot of goals from it as teams really struggle to adapt to the “organised chaos” that we try and create.” (Ben Meakin, BladesPod)
Defensively, When out of possession, the 3-5-2 can become a 5-3-2 or indeed a 5-4-1, with Rooney pulling wide.
An ode to Chris Wilder:
1) The most important thing about this formation is to have a mix of hard working players that are also good on the ball.
2) This formation relies heavily on crossing, so I have picked some of the best crossers that we have ever seen, including the best ever in Beckham, who suits this formation perfectly. Rooney was great in the air, and Ronaldo was obviously a brilliant all-round striker
3) This tactic creates an overload that is not seen in conventional tactics. There are 7 players involved in the attacking phase. Usually only 6 are involved in conventional 433’s, meaning that teams are not used to defending against this many players.
4) The most important players in this system are: the two wide centrebacks, the two defensive midfielders, and the central defender.
5) For this game I decided to replace Carlos with Krol to offer a bit more defensive stability against the threat that MJJ poses especially with Garrincha. Carlos moves to left midfield role where he will be expected to bomb up and down that wing offering support to Krol when he needs to, whilst also whipping crosses into the strikers
6) As Krol and Alberto move forward to join the attack, Rijkaard and Voronin step back in to cover the vacated space. It is crucial that both defensive midfielders are good on the ball, whilst also being brilliant defensively, and there is no one better than Rijkaard for this role.
7) The attacking midfielder has a free role, and is expected to be great on the ball, feeding the two strikers, whilst also being able to finish themselves. Socrates was a magician on the ball with incredible vision, and would be perfect in this role feeding Ronaldo and Rooney.
8) This formation has one target man/pure finisher (Ronaldo) partnered by a support striker that drops into midfield on occasion, whilst being clinical in the box (Rooney). Both of these strikers are fantastic in the air, and would thrive on floated crosses into the box.
Some stats from Sheffield Utd’s 2018/19 season
Least goals conceded in the Championship, shows the formation isn’t vulnerable defensively.
78 goals scored in 46 games, 4th highest in the Championship.
No club registered as many shots (80) or goals (25) from within the six yard box.
