The WEIRD Tactic of Premier League’s Youngest Manager!

In this video, we dive into unique and unconventional tactics of Fabian Hürzeler that led FC St Pauli to Bundesliga promotion after nearly a decade of struggles. In this video, we break down Fabian Hürzeler's tactics, including his bizarre formations like the 3-0-7 and 5-0-5, where midfielders seem to disappear.

Now, as the youngest-ever manager in the Premier League, replacing De Zerbi at Brighton, Hürzeler brings his tactical innovation to a new level. We'll analyze his impact on the 2. Bundesliga, his transformation of St Pauli, and what to expect in the Premier League.

Guys I have worked day and night on a 11-0-0 formation. In this formation 5 players sit on the remaining 6 player shoulders and they cover the goal completely, thus leaving no room for the ball to go in. This formation guarantees a nil nil in all games. Giving solid 38 points to the team and keeping it safe from relegation.

First video I've seen on this channel, and I'm impressed by how well analysed and well explained the tactics are. Excellent video!!

[อัครัตน์จารุมณี]

Good detailed in depth analysis. Easy to see and understand what looks like from off the field. But how players on the field know where they should be is amazing. They each have to know where their teammates are.

hürzeler signing ferdi makes so much sense now. ferdi is excellent for that kind of wb role. he will wear it like a glove, considering his skill set.

On FM I play a Libero+Inverted Attacking Wingbacks 3-1-6. Its crazy how Ive used this Tactic from 2011 and seeing it now work IRL. My 9 and 10 combine with the Libero just like you showed in the Box Midfield. The Key for me was Ball Winning 10s and Fast or Smart CBs.

as a st pauli fan for more than 15 years now this kinda hurts. not only fabian left, but our most important player of the last season, marcel hartel. the first two games this season left the impression that we probably going down again to div 2. i like to think with fabian and marcel we would have had an actual chance to secure div 1..

anyway the video was pretty accurate as far as i can tell, keep it on!

Perhaps Fabian Hurzeler's most interesting attribute is his willingness to adapt and learn. He didn't completely overhaul Roberto DeZerbi's Brighton system with the St. Pauli one, instead he put his own tweaks and flair to Brighton's 3ATB last season. The inverted wingback is more common under Hurzeler but the buildup is between 3ATB and 4ATB, just like RDZ last season. Hurzeler uses a more advanced CM instead of a RDZ double DM pivot as well.

8:50 is an interesting strategic concept that I didn't even think about being used in football. I am a Rocket League player and we have a similar concept (although not highly spoken about) that many pros made use of instinctively on their come-up during the COVID and preCOVID era called a "half-turn", which basically does the same thing.

NOTE: Half-turn is distinctly different from a half-flip. A half-turn is entirely a positional feature that allows for more effective cutting, defending, and counters. While half-flip is a bailout mechanic for poor position or unexpected clears that is unsurprisingly used less the higher level you get.

Best tactic video I have seen in a while. Great illustrations, maybe a bit too much of swirling and zooming for my taste, but I'm getting old.

You solved the basic problems posed in the Harry Enfield documentary Arsenal 1933 versus Liverpool 1991. Finally you came up with a way to beat the tactic of gluing the ball to a players foot.

[facelesscsgo]

First, you need specific players. Second, you will need a long bench for the season. The amount of running some of the players do is huge. It's not a tactic for every club, but for a team ranked around 20th to 10th position, it is a legitimate way to compete for 50-60% of the points. I like aggressive football with high pressure and midfielders who can cover wide and long distances, but for a season with 50+ games, it's tough. 4-4-2 diamond is totally different tactic but at the same time you need CM who can cover on flangs and help RB and LB in Def game. + you will need exceptional RB and LB who can really play strong 1 on 1 and in the same time who can cover the whole flang in both phases of the game.

I just wanna say that this video with all that grafics is so good! This is a damn good presentation and a high level content on this platform

[alonfuchs]

[muhammadelga]

This is literally my fav youtube channel right now

[MixTapeAfro]

what an amazing channel.
Please talk about Ruben Amorim from Sporting

St Pauli didn't hear much of them but their statistics in 2nd Bundesliga were insane. Hardly surprised Fabian switched to a more traditional back 4 because leaving too much space and overcommiting players against city arsenal liverpool is an instant 5 nil L for brighton 😂

[low-sound]

As an extra, they also took Ferdi. The best ball-carrying full-back you've ever seen. I am a Fenerbahçe fan and throughout the season I watched him make excellent plays with playmaker wings like Tadic. I think they will be very compatible with Mitoma. But if there is a dribbling winger in front of him, his usefulness decreases. Because they're trying to use the same half space corridor

Respect! This channel is so underrated..

[LUGIGGGGGG]
