Wide players will be quick direct runners who look to beat opposition fullbacks before delivering killer balls into the box. The other 10 % come from forwards moving into channels. The Fullbacks and Wingers offer I would say about 90%of all the width in this tactic.

Obviously, the DLP woud need to be more defensively adept while the BBm would need more of an attacking presence Both these players have to good on the ball going forward and competent defensively. This is not exactly how Fergusons set up but remember what I said previously about stability. In my formation, I use a DLP and BBM combination.

The Central Midfielders as mentioned before work as a double pivot. He is comfortable on the ball and will usually try to make himself another passin option for the players around him. The ball playing defender (Ferdinand) will be in charge of covering any loose balls/passes that might fall behind his defensive partner. He will not be the most technically gifted player and will be in charge of winning most headers. He will look to mark opposition strikers into non existence leaving them feeling lonley on the pitch.

The Limited defender (VIdic) is the rock in your defence. On-field PartnershipsThe Centrebacks have different roles.
