My favourite formation was thus: 3 centrebacks, the ones either side of the central defender were set to man mark and he was the spare man who mopped up. Attacking fullbacks or sometimes wingbacks who made runs up to and beyond the midfielders. In the mould of Cafu if you like.

Then in the middle a couple of good passers who had the freedom to roam about. A forward with good creativity would sit in behind two out and out strikers. It looked a bit like this:

-------------Striker----Striker
-----------------Forward
------------Midfield-----Midfield
-Wingback--------------------Wingback
--------Defender-Defender-Defender
