Mentality: Balanced

Team Fluidity: Flexible

Player Roles & Instructions:
GK:

SK (Su): Distributes short, keeps the build-up smooth, sweeper actions outside the box.

FB (At) - Both flanks:

Provides width and attacking runs, supports inside forwards. Stretches play and offers overlaps.

BPD (De):

Both CBs are Ball-Playing Defenders, progressing play through short passing. Comfortable carrying forward.

DMs (Su) x2:

Bernal & Lantji: Both offer stability in build-up, recycle possession, cover for FBs. One can drop deep to collect, the other can push a little higher in support.

IW (At & Su):

Left (Cherki): Attack duty, more direct threat, cuts inside to shoot and combine with PF & AM.

Right (Marques): Support duty, more focused on linking play and creating for others.

AM (At):

Gloukh: Advanced Midfielder, drifts into box, attacks space, and links midfield to attack. The primary creative force.

PF (De):

Chido Obi: Presses from the front, makes decoy runs, links play, and gets into box for chances.

Team Instructions:
In Possession:

Shorter Passing, Pass Into Space, Low Crosses, Work Ball Into Box, Be More Disciplined.

Focuses on control, quick combinations, and maximizing quality of chances in central areas.

Higher Tempo, Narrow Width, Focus Play Down the Left & Right: Ensures direct and varied penetration.

In Transition:

Roll It Out, Distribute to Centre-Backs, Counter-Press, Distribute Quickly:

Builds patiently from the back, wins the ball high up, transitions fast to exploit disorganized defenses.

Out of Possession:

Higher Defensive Line, High Press, Much More Often, Prevent Short GK Distribution, Stay On Feet, Stop Crosses:

Intense pressing to suffocate opposition and recover the ball quickly in advanced areas.

Recent Match Analysis:
Strengths:

Goals come from the penalty area, long shots, and scoring spells.

Excellent shot conversion and sustained attacking pressure.

Weaknesses:

Some vulnerability to long-range shots and central-area goals conceded.

Tactical Summary & Playstyle:
The system revolves around intense ball-winning high up the pitch, quick progression through the thirds, and fluid front four rotations.

The double DM setup ensures you don’t get caught out on transitions, providing a platform for fullbacks to bomb forward and inside forwards to drift centrally.

Fullbacks play a crucial role by stretching opposition, allowing inside forwards to exploit half-spaces.

The front three are dynamic: Cherki is your primary goal threat cutting inside, while Marques is a creator, and Obi leads the line with movement and pressing.

AM Gloukh acts as both a late runner and a creator, linking play, with freedom to roam into dangerous zones.

Defensive line is aggressive but protected by the two DMs and organized pressing.

Why This Works for Brighton:
Utilizes youth and energy for pressing.

Balanced risk/reward in buildup and pressing.

Unpredictable attack with multiple scorers and creators.

Defensively solid, minimizes risk of being exposed on the counter due to double pivot.
