Positional Structure & Suffocating Control: Mikel Arteta’s 4-3-3 Tactic with Arsenal FC in the 2026/27 Season
Here’s Positional Structure & Suffocating Control tactic. Arsenal FC currently sit 2nd in the Premier League with 12 points through five matches, trailing leaders Manchester City by just three points as they stake an early claim for the title in the 2026/27 campaign.
What makes Arsenal’s tactical identity so distinct under Mikel Arteta is their relentless commitment to positional play (Juego de Posición)—combining a rigid 3-2-5 or 2-3-5 attacking shape in possession with an airtight rest defence that suffocates opponents in their own half and denies any opportunity for counter-attacks.
The standout performer anchoring the Gunners’ explosive attack so far this season is Bukayo Saka. The English talisman is in top form, leading the squad with 3 Premier League goals and orchestrating final-third creations from the right flank with clinical precision.
Without further ado, let’s dive into the details of the tactics to understand how to implement them in FM26!
