i guess thats to be expected todd... when you play a wide formation like 3-3 theres obviously room to create overlaps with width... but if you play "deep" like 2-2-2 with 3 tiers of players you lose the ability to overlap with width... but you gain more ability to overlap with your depth. so i guess its a tradeoff.

2-2-2 is mostly used (that i've heard) mostly to take advantage of a very narrow pool where there is little scope to use width in the first place. actually most times i've heard or seen a team playing a 2-2-2 variant the results havent been great, so perhaps there arent many around my neck of the woods that have cracked the best way to get the most out of it.

we talked a while back about using a finswimmer in a team as a player with sole responsibility for speed and getting on the end of passes to score runaways... would 1-3-2 be the best way to work that in?
