Scouting report
updated 2026-06-04Loaded with players hitting their peak years — a 4-3-3 / 4-4-2 that crosses to Sørloth & Haaland and is deadly in transition. Their best chance to do something special.
Style · 4-3-3 / 4-4-2 — wing-play 1v1 (if 4-3-3, Sørloth rolls inside as a 2nd CF), crosses into Sørloth & Haaland, deadly in transition and in behind, with defensive discipline & rest-defence.
Counter-reliance ·mediumDeadly in transition & in behind, but crosses to big strikers too
Strengths
- +Crossing to Sørloth & Haaland
- +Deadly in transition and in behind
- +Defensive discipline and rest-defence
Key players
- Antonio Nusa · LWGoals, assists & creativity — pacey, skilful dribbler who works back and counters at speed
- Tactics
- Get the wide players 1v1, cross to the strikers and break at pace in transition, all on a disciplined defensive base. So much potential and a peak-years core — their best chance to do something special.
