Two strikers at the 6v6 level can leave a team with a lot left to be desired in the middle of the pitch and this then becomes overly-reliant on the central midfielder to pick up the slack. On the flip side, it may be particularly top heavy. This is a great formation for teaching young players how to work in pairs and could be a great stepping stone to several future formations of different formats. One central midfielder can be used as the natural link between attack and defense and the width can come from whichever forward or defender is nearest to the play at a time. Although it might lack in width when compared to the 2-2-1, a great amount of balance is still achieved in the formation. The 2-1-2 is one of the more popular methods for playing 6v6 around the world. This then might lack width, but could be more conducive to a natural defensive shape in shutting down the middle and remaining compact. It is also possible that this formation could be utilized with two central midfielders rather than wingers. Instead, the striker should look to close the gap in defensive transitions as the defenders and wingers provide cover and balance. However, if they leave their position the wide areas can become completely exposed. With no central midfielder in sight, the wingers may feel obligated to help in central areas. The most obvious drawback to this formation is that the balance it seems to provide can quickly become counter-acted if one of the wingers gets drawn to the middle.
Most teams want some form of a defensive base and midfield coverage, and it makes perfect sense to then sacrifice an extra player in attack and put them elsewhere on the field. This is likely the most popular system of play for 6v6 teams. Now to complete the series, here is The Mastermind Site’s comprehensive guide to the Best Formations for 6v6! 2-2-1
