Starting Lineup

ALEX (MURALHA) · ELIAS · GABRIEL · LUCAS (OLIVEIRA) · VICTOR (LUÍS) · GUSTAVO (CAZONATTI) · CHICO (KIM) · SHAYLON · FERNANDINHO · EDSON (CARIOCA) · ANDRÉ (LUÍS)

Mirassol focus on high pressing and verticality through a 4-3-3. This formation aims to win the ball back high up the pitch and move quickly toward the goal. The team looks to play with intensity to disrupt the opposition before they can settle into a rhythm.

Alex stays between the posts to organize the defensive line. The back four works as a flat line with Elias acting as an attacking full back on the right side to provide width. Victor occupies the left flank to support the buildup, while Lucas and Gabriel act as the central defenders. Gabriel is dominant in the air, and Lucas provides cover to maintain the defensive line. The unit works together to squeeze the space and keep the opposition pushed back.

The midfield uses a three-man midfield with a carrier to control the center of the pitch. Gustavo operates as the deep-lying player to shield the defense and recycle possession. Chico connects the defensive and attacking lines by driving forward with the ball into the half-spaces. Shaylon plays as an attacking ten behind the striker to create chances and arrive late into the box. This trio works to win the second ball and progress through the thirds.

Mirassol utilizes three attackers across the front to stretch the defense. Edson and Fernandinho act as inverted wingers who cut inside to create goalscoring opportunities. Edson prefers to cut inside on his left foot, while Fernandinho looks to find space in the channels. André acts as a pressing centre-forward to pin the last defender and hold up the ball for others. The attackers press from the front to force a long ball from the opposition.

The formation offers several tactical advantages for Mirassol. The team can create wide overloads when Elias and Fernandinho push forward together. The coordinated press from the front three and Shaylon allows them to win it back high up the pitch. They also find success in their speed of transition to hit in behind the defense.

This 4-3-3 formation creates a high intensity game based on pressure and quick forward movement. It is best suited for matches against teams that struggle to play out from the back under pressure.
