4-3-3 is so 2015

what are you trying to say here?

>>77176998
"your mom"

Asymmetric 2-2-4-1-1 is the future.

>>77177021
No but you can take these asymmetric balls in your mouth.

>>77176990
RCD Plebellio with 433 vs Redditon FC with 442, who wins?

4-4-2 is often used by Madrid that are on their way to a 3peat

>>77177164
They were frequently using 442 since Ancelotti CL winning season.

>>77177155
mid tier 442 actually dominate mid tier 443 most of the time. especially if your talking enlish vs spain
>>77177164
Well i'm not entirely hating on 442. It's pretty much a retard proof tactic. Real is Real though. Does it really matter what tactic they use. Usually the merc department sets the teams anyway.

>>77177015
r-rude

>>77177215
It was rude to post some smart ass question. I'm trying to teach you niggers.

>4-4-2 is used by Madrid
Well that's actually not true now that Zidane devised a new tactic, a narrow 4-1-2-1-2 (aka 4-4-2 "diamond"), where the wingbacks also are wingers, and are paramount to Real Madrid success
So technically OP is retarded, as there are plentiful of ways to play a 4-4-2
If it is the flat old classic 4-4-2, this is a good formation, is your back 4 are good at offside trap, and not easily tricked by sneaky opposing forwards. But must also play high to compress the relative playing space

>>77177241
>blabla
wow you really proved me wrong about 4-3-3 there nigger.

>>77177241
>devised a new tactic
4-4-2 diamond is old as hell

>>77176990
3-5-2 is where it's at.

>>77177303
Because you think my point was to prove something about the 4-3-3? Which in fact can be either a 4-5-1 or a 4-4-2

>>77177337
4-5-1 / 5-3-1. Depends how you look at it and how offensive you want to play. Basically 3 CB's, stacked midfield and only one player on each wing has only one player. Target men and Zlatan types will be the only relevant strikers.
>>77177349
I think you can suck my dick.

>>77177377
4-5-1 / 5-4-1* / 5-3-1-1

It's almost all the same. Barcelonas typical 4-3-3 for example can be seen as 4-4-2 diamond, 4-2-3-1, 3-3-4, 3-4-3 and 3-5-2 in different phases. Probably many more combinations.

>>77177021
I unironivally tried this is fm and my shit properly rekt

>>77176990
the future is 5-2-3 with 3 forwards ala barca's current 4-3-3 and 2 high energy nigs like kante to do all the defensive covering for the front 3 and let them roam around waiting to counter when you don't have possession

>not using 10-0-0
lol

What's a place where I can read about the strengths and weaknesses of popular formationa

For me, it's the 2-1-5-2

>>77177021
You mean 2-2-3-1-1-1

>>77177052
this is a good post

>ywn see a club/NT win a trophy with a cheeky 0-0-10

>>77179942

personally, i favor the 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

Why won't anyone use 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1?

>>77182382
>1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1
Pleb. The 2024 CL winner will use 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2.

4-4-2 just won the premier league 2 seasons ago

>>77177164
And? Madrid plays with the ref every game, Manolo, and they still get pounded by Wolfsburgos and 2B teams often. Stop being 150 cm tall, overweight and bald with some weird strand of hair poking of your head at the center in a bird fashion, like the average Muslim

9-0-1 is the future

>>77182757
Alfonso you are pathetic. Just put a proxie so I can filter your ass

>>77176990
the 4-4-2 isn't even dead
at the moment it's unfashionable, because having superiority in midfield is the norm, 4-3-2-1 blows it out of the water because of this
because formations work in cycles these days

The 3-5-2 is coming into fashion these days because the diamonds and narrow 4-4-2s were the latest trend
the single striker formations are what's going to kill the 3 at the back because there's too big a numbers gulf between the strikers and the defenders
4-3-3 formations coming back lads, big style

>>77176990

2-1-2-1-2-1-1 is the future

>>77184294

Or the inverted geometric form 2-1-2-1-1-2-1

3-3-5 is the future of defensive football

>4-4-2 isnt the GOAT formation
get off my board

>using anything but 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1
