WTH? Am I missing something?

Yeah, 4-2-2-2 is the new 3-4-1-2 by the looks of things. All the token buyers seem to be using it.

4-4-2 is too good nowadays. IRL, it's soooo predictable.

Any fixed formation is predictable in real life, the best teams rotate player positions - that's why 4-2-3-1 became so popular, with the 3 constantly interchanging (Chelsea on a good day have the best 3 in the PL for that formation)

When Barca were at their best, they changed player positions a lot and Pep was constantly looking for variations. When he left a few of my friends said that whoever got the position would have the easiest job in the world - I argued that it isn't as simple as putting out the 11 best players and winning games

Heynckes' tactical masterclass in the semi-final proved that to be the case
