Question

so what is 4-4-3 or 4-3-4 and so forth means?

Answer 1

In soccer, lacrosse, etc.: 4-4-3... 4 indicates the number of forwards. The second 4 indicates the number of midfielders. The 3 indicate the number of defensemen. Because there are ten players (excluding the goalie) 4-4-3, etc., is an incorrect combination. It would have to be: 3-4-3, 4-3-3, etc. Thanks!



____________________________________________________



In Baseball: 4-4-3, 6-4-3, etc. is the numbers of the positions involved during a double play. The number of each position is as follows.



1- Pitcher

2- Catcher

3- 1st Baseman 1B

4- 2nd Baseman 2B

5- 3rd Baseman 3B

6- Shortstop SS

7- Left Fielder

8- Center Fielder

9- Right Fielder



For example, a 6-4-3 double play would be a ground ball to the SS, SS throws to the 2B as second for the first out, and the 2B throws to the 1B for the second out.



If the number is something like 6-6-3, it means that the SS fields the ball, touches second base for the first out, and throws the the 1B for the second out.



Hopefully this clears things up for you. Glad to be a help!

Answer 2

You can never have a 4-4-3 formation or a 4-3-4 fromation on a soccer game. Teams are allowed 11 players.



One Goal keeper

Usually 4 defenders

Usually 4 midfielders

and 2 Strikers.



Based on this - the team would be playing a 4-4-2 formation. There are many variations .... 4-3-3, 3-4-3, etc.....

Answer 3

Those are formations. 4-4-3 indicates that there are 4 defenders, 4 midfielders, and 3 attackers. 4-3-4 indicates that there are 4 defenders, 3 midfielders, and 4 attackers. However that would mean that there is no goalie since 4+4+3=11. Both those formations cannot be used. You probably mean 4-4-2 and 4-3-3.

Answer 4

its the formation of players in a team, excluding the goalkeeper



4-4-3 or 4-3-4 is wrong because there are 10 outffield players in a team. the formations can be, for example 4-3-3, or 4-3-1-2.

Answer 5

4-4-3

1 goalie

3 or 4 defenders

3 midfielders

4 forwards or strikers other coaches use different formations like 1,goalie 4,backs 4,mid which 2 goes as side runners and 3,forwards

Answer 6

the fist # equals the number of forwards or strikers

the second number = midfielders

the third number = defense

Answer 7

The number of and position defencemen, midfielders, and forwards.

Answer 8

its the formation of the players in a soccergame.

Answer 9

this are the tactical systems(formation)that will be used in the soccer game
