A heavy emphasis on direct attacking play defines this lineup in a 4-2-4. The team aims to overwhelm the opposition through a high volume of forwards, looking to hit teams on the transition and win the ball back high up the pitch. This formation is built to play a very aggressive, vertical style of football that stretches the opposition.

PERIN stays between the posts to oversee the defensive unit. The back four operates as a flat line, with LAHM acting as an attacking full back to provide width on the right. On the left, KOLAROV is expected to push high to overlap the wingers. In the center, UMTITI acts as a ball playing defender to start attacks, while VERMAELEN provides cover and is dominant in the air to clear the lines during crosses.

A double pivot controls the center of the pitch to provide balance. SCHOLES operates as a deep lying playmaker, using his renowned passing range to switch play and find attackers. BRUNO GUIMARES works alongside him to connect the defense to the attack, often carrying the ball forward to drive into the half spaces. This pair must work hard to protect the space left behind by the advanced full backs and manage the distance between the lines.

The front line is designed to pin the last defender and exploit wide areas. ZAHA plays as an inverted winger on the left, cutting inside to create goal scoring chances, while HADJY stays wide on the right to stretch the defense. In the center, MCCARTY acts as a pressing centre forward to harass the opposition back line. DYBALA plays as a second striker in the hole, dropping into pockets of space to link up play with the midfielders and arrive late into the box.

The main tactical advantages of this setup are the ability to create wide overloads and the speed of transition. By using LAHM and KOLAROV to push high, the team can overwhelm opponents in the wide areas. Additionally, the presence of four attackers allows for quick, direct play to catch the opposition out of position before they can set their defensive block.

This 4-2-4 lineup is a high risk, high reward setup built for aggressive attacking. It is best suited for matches where the team needs to break down a low block or exploit a disorganized opponent on the break.
