Wide Support Player reference article.

Overview

The wide support player reinforces tape side developments from mid level bunkers, assisting wide roles while preserving crossfield structure.

Key Points

  • Supports tape lane roles from interior bunkers.
  • Monitors crossfield pressure impacting wide players.
  • Assesses timing for assisting forward tape progression.
  • Maintains interior safety as wide roles extend forward.
  • Balances influence between tape and mid corridors.

Details

Wide support players occupy bunkers that sit between interior roles and tape side structures. Their responsibilities include reinforcing tape players while maintaining awareness of interior developments.

These positions help prevent opponents from isolating wide roles and provide controlled angles that support tape side expansion. They also maintain interior coverage during moments when tape players advance.

Wide support roles contribute to balancing field distribution and strengthening tape side influence.
