Chelsea Football Formation

Lineup (4-1-4-1)

The idea of the 4-1-4-1 system came from the very well-known 4-4-2 system. The 4-4-2 system of play has a disadvantage in defence because there are no players covering the space between the midfield and the defence. Putting a holding midfielder there to cover the space. With this change the four midfielders can play with more freedom.
