Starting Lineup

Enner (Internacional) · M.Caicedo (Chelsea) · Hincapié (Arsenal) · Pacho (PSG) · Estupiñan (Milan) · Ordóñez (Club Brugge) · Plata (Flamengo) · Yeboah (Venezia) · P.Vite (Vancouver) · Franco (Atlético Mineiro) · Valle (Liga de Quito)

Focusing on a high press and fast transitions, this lineup utilizes a 4-3-3 to dominate the pitch. The team looks to win the ball high up the pitch and immediately move the ball forward to catch the opposition out of position. This formation is built to play with verticality, using the energy of the midfield and the speed of the front three to stretch the defence.

Valle plays between the posts to anchor the back line. The defensive unit operates with a flat back four, where Hincapié and Estupiñan act as attacking full backs to provide width in the final third. Ordóñez and Pacho form the central pairing, with Pacho acting as a ball playing defender to start attacks. This back four works together to hold a high line and squeeze the space, making sure the team stays compact when they drop into a mid-block.

In the middle of the pitch, a three-man midfield provides the engine for the team. M.Caicedo acts as the single pivot to shield the defence and win the second ball. Alongside him, Franco and P.Vite operate as the two central midfielders who connect the defensive and attacking lines. Franco drives forward with the ball to break the line, while P.Vite works to recycle possession and find the feet of the striker. This group is tasked to press aggressively to win the ball high and deny the pivot of the opposition.

The attacking unit relies on three attackers across the front to pin the last defender. Enner plays as a pressing centre-forward, using his strength to hold up the ball and fight for aerial duels. Plata operates as an inverted winger on the left, looking to cut inside and create chances, while Yeboah stays wide on the right to stretch the defence. The front three work in combinations to create runs in behind, often looking for quick passes to hit in behind on the transition.

One major advantage of this formation is the ability to press high in coordinated waves, using the front three and the midfield to hunt in packs. The team also benefits from wide overloads when Hincapié and Estupiñan push up to overlap the wingers. This creates constant pressure on the opposing full backs and forces them to defend deep.

This 4-3-3 is built for a high intensity game where winning the ball back quickly is the main goal. It is best suited for facing teams that try to build slowly from the back and struggle under heavy pressure.
