About this listen

Get ready, the Premier League is back! Andrew and Harry are buzzing and this week’s topic is Formations 101.


Formations might look like random numbers, 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 but we promise they're more than your bank account PINs. In this episode, Andrew and Harry break down what formations really mean, why they don’t always tell the whole story, and how managers use them to set traps, unlock attacks, and change the flow of a game.


From defensive walls to all-out attacking setups, you’ll learn how to read the numbers, why they’re both the truth and a lie, and even how to spot a formation shift while watching live.

Plus, a new segment: Ballers on the Rise, where we highlight three young stars already making waves. Desiree Dua, Ethan Nwaneri, and Giovanni Quina.


By the end, you’ll never hear 4-3-3 the same way again!


Hosts: Andrew Smith and Harry Liu
