Formation
Jesse Marsch predominantly used a 4-2-3-1 with Leeds United down the 12-match stretch he had through the back end of last season. There was some sampling of the 4-2-2-2 he employed earlier in his career, but the one-man, Daniel James strikeforce was the general line he took.
In this, our first look at Marsch’s vision for the new campaign, we will get to see what the American has in mind. While we are not expecting anything too drastically different in formation, there may be some telling differences in the shape, mentality or roles the players are playing.
