4-4-2 And Its Closest Variations. Why Are They So Strong? -- Some Quick Thoughts

[kebess]

CONCLUSION

I'll end these "thoughts" here, as it's starting to get a bit longer than what I initially wanted... The conclusion is thus as follows :

Classic 4-4-2 is possibly the most flexible and balanced formation in Top Eleven, as once its variations and alterations are allowed (4-4-1-1 ; 4-5-1 ; 4-1-4-1 ; 5-4-1), made possible by a "swinger player" (the reallocation of the 2nd ST), it and its various variations, together, do have the potential to counter every formation you can think of, simply because of their capability to cover rather nicely every single position on the pitch.

This is mostly important because the variations made to obtain this somewhat "unbeatable" effect are really small and easily done in a live match, most of time by a single sub, or none at all.

So there. That's really all that comes in mind right now. In any case, let me know in the comments below what you think of it ! Why you disagree or agree ! And anything else that could be added to it !

If most people agree with the content, and find it accurate and revealing enough, I'll be glad to polish it a bit more, and make it a guide for any that can learn from it.

Thanks for reading.
