Starting Positions

- When playing a 1-2-1, look to build out in a 2-1-1 formation.

- Follow the build-out plan for a 1-2-1-1 formation. Primary difference is that the roles are more defined when we do get forward (the #6 will look to get into attack, while the #4 will usually be our deepest player balancing play should we use it).

- We will look to play out through our #4 when possible as it will allow our #6 to get into attack when we do go forward. We will allow the #4 to split wide onto his more favored side and #6 will fill in the other.

Building Through #4

#4: Looks to break line with first touch if space is available. Looks to play furthest forward pass (#9), then through midfield (#8). If cannot go forward play back to #1 and initiate build out phase again.

#8: If #4 has space, look to drift off defender's back shoulder and create space for #4. If #4 is under pressure look to come in front of defender and connect #4 and #9 (as shown).

#9: As ball travels into #4 drift off defender's back shoulder to create space to check into. Look to come in front of defender as #4 looks to play forward. Try to receive higher than #6 so we are breaking 2 lines when #4 or #5 looks to play (as shown).

#6: As ball travels into #4, tucks in for protection should we lose possession. If ball is dropped back into #1, opens up and looks to break line as build out phase starts again.

#1: Shows underneath ball to be option for #4 should he play backward. If ball comes back to him, looks to break lines of pressure (furthest forward pass if defense gets stretched by back pass).

Building Through #8

#8: Has multiple options. Spin defender on his own should he get too tight. Play around corner to #9 to combine. Look to set for overlapping player (#6). Hold ball up play backward to #4 or #1 if he cannot find any option to play forward.

#9: If #8 can turn and is not under pressure looks to peel away and create 2v1 with his own defender. If #8 has pressure looks to check into space created and be an option for #8 to play around the corner (as shown).

#6: Being that there is space in front as #9 is opposite, looks to get on overlap and create numbers up in midfield or attacking third (2v1 with #8).

#4: Looks to tuck in and balance field should we lose possession. Also look to be an option underneath the ball should #8 need to play backward.

Building Through #9

#9: Has multiple options. If he can turn take defender on, slip #8 in should #8 beat his defender to the space. If he can not turn , look to hold up for #6 coming underneath.

#8: As ball travels into #9, looks to get into space behind his defender and exploit 2v1 with the #9 if possible (Option A as shown) or stretch field for #6 to get underneath.

#6: As ball travels into #9, looks to get into space left by #8 and underneath ball to receive set from #9 should he not be able to turn.

#4: Looks to tuck in and provide balance should we lose the ball (as shown). Also can be a very deep option for #9 should he have to play backward.
