I've seen people go red in the face in the effort to convince another person that the team MUST PLAY A 3-5-2, DAMMIT! In the end, it's a weirdly academic debate. Shape is a general concept, not grounds for dogmatism. Thank you, Laurie, for discussing formations in the sanest way possible.

Is there much changing around depending on who a team is playing or even what's happening during a match? I like 4-3-3 a lot depending on the players on each side. Sometimes it turns into 4-5-1 when there are swift and tricky maniacs racing down the wings on the opposing team. Which can be ok if your one striker can handle it and the midfield knows in advance who's attacking and who's holding if it happens. Anyway, love the topic, especially if formations can vary according to the opposition, allowing fans to discuss ad nauseam who plays where on ALL the teams. I could even learn to live without player sperm reports :) New MLS student question: do most of the other teams in the league play 4-4-2 or does it vary?
