      The term "sweeper" has defensive connotations. This is primarily in buildup play. It's not necessarily new, it's just an adaptation of the old and Pep wasn't necessarily the first to so it within games even recently (Inter last season and Ajax previously), although he's doing it with more frequency.

      The concept of total football will become the only way to play, with a few players that are exempted due to either a defensive or attacking role, but still those players will cover a general area. I've seen it already unless the team works like a fine tuned machine then it's no use having a formation.

    • @thelinedrive
      @thelinedrive 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +20

      The formations will never go away. They are still needed structurally to create passing lanes against an opponent. Although, I fully expect players like Harry Kane, to be more common as strength, hold up play and coming back to the ball to help facilitate the team as a whole becomes much more common.

    It's not really a new formation, it's just a tweak to the pre-existing formation that he gets to make because his goalkeeper is good enough on the ball to allow him to. I see it more as reintroducing the libero of catenaccio by making the goalkeeper the extra libero defender in line with the 3 central defenders. I wouldn't call it a truly "new" formation since it still uses the W-M base formation but has an added temporary tweak in possession if pressed. For example in a 433 if the pivot drops between the centre backs and the fullbacks go high and wide, you wouldn't say he's now playing a 343, because it's only a transitional state rather than the base shape.

    Thiago Motta actually wanted to implement this tactic when he was PSG U19's manager, quote "The goalkeeper counts as one of the midfield seven.

      I think Thiago Motta meant his 2-7-2 formation horizontally rather than vertically where 2 on either side are the full back and winger on either side which leaves 6 outfield players in the middle ( 2 CBs, 3 Mids and 1 Forward ), in this shape the goalie would join the middle unit of 6 to make it 7, so essentially he was just describing a standard 4-3-3 with a sweeper keeper

    I think that my proudest moment was in fm23 when i created a tactic that I called "Saca sin lateral" which was 3-2-4-1. Some time later, like some weeks, y check on a Man City game and pep had my custom tactic from fm in his game. I was partly shocked and partly proud, as weird as it may sound, I created one of pep's tactics (its obvious its not the same. I'm only an fm player and he is Pep, but still kinda funny thinking about my luck xd)

    Honestly with the increased importance of having a goalkeeper good with their feet I’m surprised it took this long to do this. Also, I’m kind of surprised nobody has tried to do a sweeper keeper/Libero hybrid if a goal keeper’s over the top passing is particularly good.
