Focusing on high intensity and verticality, this team uses a 4-3-3 formation to hunt for the ball high up the pitch. The lineup is built to press aggressively and move the ball forward quickly through the lines to catch opponents out of position. This style of play relies on heavy energy levels to sustain pressure in the final third.

JOËL guards the goal and oversees the defensive line. The back four functions as a zonal line to maintain compactness. AARON plays as a right back to provide width, while JORIS operates on the left to support the attack. In the center, CHRISTIAN and GABRIEL act as the central defensive pair, where GABRIEL can use his physical presence to win the header and CHRISTIAN provides cover to protect the space behind.

The midfield operates with a three man midfield with a carrier and an attacking ten. NOAH and EDO occupy the central roles, where they look to win the second ball and recycle possession to maintain control. SAMUEL plays as the attacking ten behind the striker, acting as the link between the middle third and the front three. NOAH works to drive forward with the ball to break the lines, while EDO focuses on holding the position to protect the center.

In the attacking third, the team utilizes three attackers across the front. MESCHACK and YOANE act as wide wingers who look to cut inside and create goal scoring chances. DIEUMERCI plays as the lone striker, tasked to find the feet of the striker and hold up the ball to bring others into play. The front three work together to press from the front, forcing the opposition to play long balls while they look to hit in behind on the transition.

This formation offers significant advantages through its ability to press high in coordinated waves. By using the front three to squeeze the space, the team can win it back high up the pitch and launch immediate attacks. The wide players and full backs can create wide overloads to pull the opposition defense apart and create space in the middle.

This 4-3-3 formation is built to dominate through aggressive pressing and quick transitions. It is best suited for games against opponents who struggle to play out from the back under pressure.
