Episode 66 - Should We Care About Formations?

The Football Fanalytics Podcast

Pep Guardiola says they’re “nothing more than telephone numbers”.

In Episode 66, we ask…are formations even reliable anymore?

When you first see the starting line-up, the formations given are rarely the formations a team sets up in throughout the 90 minutes. How do they differ in and out of possession? How does the game state influence their approach? Is a 4-3-3 the same for two teams?

We discuss all the above, and more — with a game to start off the episode, for good measure!
