It looks chaotic at first but it all has a purpose. Defense: Two Wing backs that can control the sideline. Working the the midfield proving passes going up the pitch opening space to attack. Going forward pulling the defense out of position to allow the attackers more space going forward or finding the space themselves in the event the opposition doesn't pick them up . The three center half's who are comfortable with the ball acting almost as an old fashioned sweeper. Finding the players in winder positions, starting the attack from the back. If under pressure with a counter attacks the defensive mid can fall back making a back four with the wing backs inverting into the midfield making tackles and pressing advancing players. Midfield: The midfield is the pivotal point of the whole team. Holding possession and playing quick and effective passes. While defending they cover passing lanes and press the advancing players. My favorite part of this team is the attacking mids as I feel this will really suit the players you have such as Dallas. The will work most like a CF falling back when necessary. If the forward falls wide they will pick up the space. The act almost as a Thomas Muller esc Raumdeuter or space interpreter. The front three will also act as a pack of wolves when possession is lost closing down on the player with the ball and depending the the side the adjacent wing back and midfielder with close down potential passes.
