Scouting report

updated 2026-06-04

No longer the golden generation, but still a very good technical 4-2-3-1 that can beat top teams, with pace to exploit high-pressing sides.

Style · 4-2-3-1 — wingers 1v1 to create, support runs under/over the wingers, pace in behind against high-pressing teams, high-press & counter-press.

Counter-reliance ·mediumPace in behind to punish high-pressing teams

Strengths

  • +1v1 wingers with supporting runs over and under
  • +Pace in behind against aggressive opponents
  • +High-press and counter-press

Weaknesses

  • Building out from the back and playing through teams

Key players

  • Jérémy Doku · LWGoals and assists — skilful dribbler with pace & power
Tactics
Get the wingers 1v1 with runners around them, exploit space in behind against pressing teams, and counter-press to win it back. Still capable of beating the best despite build-up struggles.
