As someone who tends to be a ball watcher and miss the nuances I love easy insights into the game. Two of the ones I've picked up are :
1: the back four are spread across the field but move as though chained together, so if the right back moves upfield into attack the other three get tugged to the right
2: Your front and back players are never more than half the pitch apart. So if the play is in the opposing penalty area your backs are at the half way line.
