We review the Week 1 tactical alignments for the Fire and Orlando City and then make the case for how our Fire will start on Friday.
Last week, the Fire demonstrated the capability, albeit early in the season, to change tactical formations in the manner which coach Veljko Paunovic expects. In the first half, the Fire came out in a 4-2-3-1 (see Field 1).

The game plan, on offense at least, was working very well. The Fire attacking four got behind the NYCFC back four to generate four or five really good looks on the counterattack.
