DONOVAN (LÉON) · KEVIN (RIMANE) · LUDOVIC (BAAL) · LOÏC (BAAL) · SLOAN (PRIVAT) · YOANN (SALMIER) · GARY (MARIGARD) · CLAUDE (DAMBURY) · RHUDY (EVENS) · GARY (PIGRÉE) · ROY (CONTOUT)

Seeking to overwhelm opponents with constant pressure and directness, this team operates in a 4-2-4. The lineup focuses on stretching the opposition defense by keeping as many players as possible in the final third. This formation is built to play a high tempo game that relies on quick transitions and heavy attacking numbers to force errors from the opponent.

DONOVAN stays between the posts to guard the goal while the defensive unit sits in a high line. GARY and LUDOVIC act as the full backs, providing width when the ball moves forward, while CLAUDE and YOANN form the central defensive pair. CLAUDE operates as a ball playing defender to start attacks, whereas YOANN provides cover to manage runs in behind. The back four works to squeeze the space and keep the distance between the defensive line and the midfield very tight.

The midfield functions as a double pivot designed to control the center of the pitch. LOÏC and KEVIN sit in front of the defense to shield the back four and win the second ball. LOÏC works to carry the ball forward through the center, while KEVIN focuses on recycling possession and cutting off the passing lane to the opposition strikers. This duo connects the defensive line to the front four, ensuring that the transition from defense to attack is rapid.

The attack utilizes four players to pin the opposition defense back. RHUDY and SLOAN operate as a partnership of two center forwards, working to find space between the defenders and win headers. On the flanks, ROY and GARY act as wide wingers who stay high up the pitch to stretch the defense. ROY looks to cut inside to create chances, while GARY uses his pace to run in behind. This front line is designed to attack in combinations and create constant pressure in the box.

One major advantage of this formation is the ability to create wide overloads when the full backs push up to support the wingers. The team can also pin the last defender by having two strikers constantly occupy the central defenders. This lineup offers high speed of transition, allowing the players to move from a defensive block to an attacking wave in seconds.

This 4-2-4 formation is a highly aggressive way to play that prioritizes verticality and attacking numbers. It is best suited for games where the team needs to break down a deep low block through sheer volume of pressure.
