Is 4-2-1-3 best formation this season?

[Jacob M]

I have a guy in my league owning every team in the league, cup and CL. Now he is joint leader in the league and reaches both finals in cup and CL. He never changes formation but he usually watches his matches. I used 451V and lost 4-1. His team is all 5 stars and one or two scouts only but his strikers are good.

It's hard to say whether its the best formation but i've noticed the last 2 seasons that teams with 3 strikers are doing very well. The guy who's in second in my division this year plays that formation and he's only lost 2 games and that was when me and the guy in third played 5-4-1 flat.

I'm not gonna take any credit for the idea i copied the guy in third after he won

Insane, no team in the world plays with 3 strikers.

In real life, best case scenario, you can have 2 strikers, but most of the times one of them will play as a Second Striker.

Out of this Top11 nonsense a very powerful attacking team like Bayern plays with 1 Striker:

Chelsea plays with one striker, Man City plays with one striker, Real Madrid plays with one striker.

Barcelona plays with one striker, the whole world plays with 1 striker.

I bet this nonsense of winning teams with 2 and 3 strikers is some idea to appeal to "those-countries-you-know-what". People over there tend to think you only have to play with 2 defenders and 8 strikers for better success.

Arsenal, 1 striker:

Dortmund plays with 1 striker, his name is Lewandowski, if any of our friends in Belgrade never watched a football match:

Probabbly two of the hardest attacking teams in the world, Bayern vs Dortmund, both play with 1 Striker. ONE.

[Celtic]

PSG and Barcelona, 1 striker each.

Any day, anywhere.

Two attacking national teams, Portugal and Netherlands, 1 striker each.

Being a Portuguese I can tell you that Cristiano Ronaldo is a WINGER, not a Striker.

In the last 10 years our SOLE striker was:

Pauleta
or
Postiga
or
Liédson
or
Hugo Almeida
or
Edinho

Never any of them in pairs, let alone trios.

Teams in Portugal, like in any normal football practicing nation, play with 1 striker:

Portugal:

Porto: Jakcson Martinez or Nabil Ghilas

Benfica: Cardozo or Lima or Rodrigo.

I look at it more like a conflict of terms Celtic, the total football of the Dutch for instance was called 433 as well. In holland we still use 433 to describe a style with 1 central striker and 2 wingers.
