Midfield
From Hattrick
The midfield of a team decides the ball possession within a match. The higher the ball possession, the bigger the chance of receiving more regular chances.
Midfield is primarily derived from:
- Playmaking Inner Midfielders
- Playmaking wingers
- Playmaking central Defenders
- Playmaking Wingbacks
However, defensive forwards can add to the midfield rating, too.
Non-Linear Relationship
LLoko (Lokomotiv Lund, ABC of tactics) has made an investigation on the ball possession to number of chance ratio which shows that the number of chances is not linear to the ball possession; from 65% and upwards, it is very likely that the opponent will not receive a single chance. This knowledge is the basis behind the so-called "All out tactics".
HT-Hasse has made statements in the conferences that directly contradict this theory, but was later dismissed by HT-Tjecken. See the possession page for more information.
