Animation 1

Animation 1 - Playing Out (Option 1)

Keyframe 1: Starting Positions - CB's split / LB/RB - High and Wide / CM's - Start high to give yourself space to check into and receive the ball / LW/RW - High and Wide / ST - High and in-between both opposition CB's. 

Keyframe 2 - CB Receives Ball - Opposite CB - Stay split / LB/RB - Drop in and show for ball to feet / 6 - Drop in to deep, central position / 8 - Check towards the ball at speed to create space away from the defender / 10 - Stay opposite side of the ball (don't want to drag defenders in and close the space), and find a position to receive as an outlet from CB or other Midfielders / Opposite Wing & Wingback - Stay Wide so if the ball gets swung the other way you are there to receive and hopefully will be able to go forward / Ball Side Winger - Find a position where you can be played to feet from the CB / ST - Position yourself in front of the ball side CB as an outlet in case the CB has to go long. 

Keyframe 3&4 -  Ball is played into CM - LB/RB - Movement has to be forward past your defender, so you can receive the ball and play/drive forward / 8 - Bounce the ball out to LB/RB using 1 or 2 touches (It has to be quick to be effective) / 6 - Slide over and provide cover in case we lose possession, and also support/option to switch the play if needed / Ball Side Winger - Spin your defender and look to go in behind (Make sure to stay onside and time your run) / 10 - In behind run on opposite side, look to attack the box if the ball gets played through to the Winger / ST - Show Feet dragging CB with you / Rest of backline - Start creeping up and get compact just in case we lose possession (opposite wingback tuck in) / Opposite Winger - Stay Wide, forward run towards back post if ball gets played through to Winger. 

Keyframe 5/6/7 - Ball gets played into the ST's feet - 8 - Supporting Run underneath the ST for a bounce back, in order to play forward using 1/2 touch / Ball Side Winger - Run in behind for that through ball from the 8 (time run, stay onside) / 10 - Forward run and attack box/be an option for the winger to play / ST - after bouncing spin your defender and make a forward run. This will open the space for the 8 to play in behind between the CB & LB/RB / Opposite Winger - Forward/Back post run / Everybody else step up and be compact just in case we lose possession.

Animation 3 - Playing Out (Option 3)

Keyframe 1/2 - Same as Animation 1/2

Keyframe 3 - Ball gets played out to LB/RB's Feet - 6&8 - Make sure you are showing/being an option central for the LB/RB to play / Ball Side Winger - Move back to a wide position and show feet first then in behind, if you don't receive / ST - Slide closer to the ball and be an option for a ball into feet from the LB/RB / Ballside CB - Drop deeper and give yourself space to receive and switch it out the other way / 10 - Stay on opposite side to create space for ballside players/Be an option if the ball gets switched / Opposite CB/LB/RB/Winger - Hold position in case ball gets switched so you can receive and play forward. 

Keyframe 6/7/8 - Ball gets switched to opposite CB - CB - Receive and carry forward in order to take opposition 9 out of the game, look for passes to feet or clip in behind to forward runners / LB/RB - Start Creeping Forward so you can be played feet and take your first touch beyond your defender, or you can make a forward run and get a ball clipped in behind from the CB / Winger - Move inside to receive the ball feet as well as creating space in behind for LB/RB to run into / 10 - Be an option centrally to turn and face forward/bounce back to CB/Switch the play again / 6 - Stay Deep & Central in case you need to cover for the CB if they continue to carry forward. Can also be an outlet for other players if they receive the ball / Opposite CB/LB/RB - Step up and Tuck In in case possession is lost / Opposite Winger - Stay high and wide as an outlet in case the ball gets switched again. If the ball is played forward on the opposite side make a forward run to the backpost. 

WHEN CLIPPING THE BALL IN BEHIND BE SURE TO OVER HIT THE PASS - The grass is long and the ball will most likely stop. Also, even if we don't retain possession, it is better to turn the opposition around and have them chase the ball then it is them intercepting and going on a counter.
