Paris FC utilizes a 4-3-3 formation to play a high press game. This lineup is built to win the ball back quickly in the opponent half and play with verticality. The team aims to control the tempo through quick passing and aggressive movement to force turnovers.

Kevin sits between the posts to command the area. The back line operates as a flat back four where Hamari and Nhoa act as wide defenders. Hamari is expected to overlap to provide width while Nhoa tracks back to cover the flank. In the center, Diego and Otávio form the defensive core, with Diego providing aerial strength and Otávio acting as a ball playing defender to start attacks. The whole unit steps up together to keep the distance between the lines small.

The midfield works in a way that connects the defense to the attack through a trio of players. Rudy and Marshall occupy the central spaces to shield the defense and break the line with forward passes. Ilan plays as an attacking ten, finding pockets of space between the opponent midfield and defense to create chances. This trio helps Paris FC control the middle of the pitch by shifting side to side to find passing lanes.

The attacking phase relies on three players to stretch the opposition. Ciro acts as a lone striker to hold up the ball and lead the press from the front. Moses and Luca operate as wide wingers, with Moses looking to cut inside and Luca looking to cross from the flank. This movement creates space in the middle for Ilan to run into. The forwards press high to force the opposition into mistakes near their own goal.

One main advantage is the ability to press high in coordinated waves, making it difficult for opponents to build from the back. Another strength is the wide overloads created when Hamari and Nhoa push up to join the wingers. This setup can also isolate wide players in one on one situations once the ball is switched play to the flanks.

This 4-3-3 formation creates a high intensity game based on pressing and quick transitions. It is best suited for facing teams that struggle to play out from a high defensive line.
