Nigeria Football Formation

Creation DateMarch 27, 2014

Lineup (4-3-3)

EMENIKE · MOSES · ALUKO · J. OBI · ONAZI · MIKEL · AMBROSE · ECHEJILE · OBOABONA · OMERUO · ENYEAMA

The 4-3-3 is a formation that allows smooth transition from defence to attack and from attack to defence
The formula for my team will be 9-7-7; meaning we'll be defending with 9 men, battle in the middle with 7 players and attack with at least 7 players
Enyeama remains eagles no 1 choice, so no debate about that. The defensive pairing has been the most consistent in recent Nigerian history except for few lapses by ambrose. The midfield duo of Mikel and Onazi has flourished over the one year an they have a great understanding between. For Joel Obi, he is a hardworking midfielder who has a good understanding with Mikel and can make up for the eagles creative problem from the midfield.
For the attack, no debate about moses and emenike. The inclusion of aluko brings a lot of creativity to the team from the flanks. Plus, the duo of Moses and aluko always fall back to help the defense.
Finally, the captain of this team is Enyeama while Mikel will playmake for the team from the depth of the midfeld
