The W-M formation consisted of a shallow W (the peak in the centre of the W is a short one) and a deep M (the trough in M is a deep one). This entails three defenders who keep close to the goalkeeper during defending, and spread out to prevent a long ball counter attack, when the team attacked. 3, record 1, English, - W%2DM%20formation
