text: In theory, U'd best go 4 a 4-4-2 or variations of the 4-4-2 e.g Brazil's 4-2-2-2 & 4-3-1-2.\n\nAttack is always the best form of defence. A 4-4-2 allows the team to defend a four-pronged attack, dominate a midfield opposition of 3 players ( your 4 against their 3) and provide the drive to feed two efficient strikers.\n\nA 4-3-3 is the direct response for a 3-3-4 opposition but i do not like the posture. Both teams would cancel each other, not my style. 4-4-2 is it.
