Scouting report
updated 2026-06-04Wing-back-driven 3-4-3 / 3-4-2-1 that crosses relentlessly (3rd highest in Europe) and is utterly lethal from set-plays.
Style · 3-4-3 / 3-4-2-1 — wing-backs high & wide, wingers coming inside as '10s', huge crossing volume.
Counter-reliance ·lowCrossing- and set-piece-led, not a transition side
Strengths
- +Set-play kings — 48% of qualifying goals from corners/indirect FKs
- +3 of 4 vital play-off goals came from corners
- +Elite crossing volume (3rd highest in Europe)
Weaknesses
- −3rd most big chances missed
Key players
- Pavel Šulc · LWPacey, direct dribbler with creativity & end product — 14 goal involvements this season
- Tactics
- Wing-backs provide the width while wingers drift inside as second strikers; the crossing volume is enormous. Defend a set-piece against them at your peril.
