Maresca’s Chelsea 2024/25 - 'The Blueprint'
4-2-1-3 FC 25 Tactics
✅ Positional play at its finest
✅ Play in between the lines and cause chaos
✅ Starve the opponent of the ball
✅ Solid as a rock defensively
Tips and Tricks:
Build-up Style: Balanced
Line Height: 70
- R1 triggers to bring players in towards you will be crucial to making this work well. With the wingers sitting high and wide, we can manipulate the opponent’s fullbacks and give space in behind to move into.
- Have a balanced approach to attacks, build up with control and use a positional play mindset, then have those chaotic moments in and around the opponent’s area.
- Your Falseback MUST be adept on the ball, and have the ability to find a pass, they are going to be central to build up along with the RDM.
- Your LW/RW must be good in 1v1 duels, having the ability to beat their man and either shoot or create a shooting opportunity. You will have lots of overloads with the CAM and LDM.
- The CAM will drift to the side of their weak foot, so bear in mind that if you have a right footed CAM, you need to flip the tactic.
