The 4-2-4 Formation | About the FM23 Rising Dead Tactic
What do you do when facing opponents who relies on defensive organization and security by using a 3-5-2 system, or any other variations using a three-at-the-back formation? One solution is to try to overload in the attacking third with numerical superiority. With four forwards and two players on the flanks which overlaps, the 4-2-4 has seen an revolution in the modern era of football with both Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola having used their interpretation of the 4-2-4 a few times with Liverpool and Manchester City over the past three years.
The Unbeatable Rising Dead Tactic gives you a great insight to the 4-2-4 formation that came in the spotlight when Brazil won the 1958 World Cup using a similar system. It takes advantage of the key ingredient of 4-2-4 tactics by using gegenpressing and heavy-metal football to win possession high up the pitch to suffocate the opposition.
The positioning of the forwards in the 4-2-4 formation is ideal to set up a man-to-man press – trying to restrict the number of passing options for the opposition team. The high pressing system and structure of the 4-2-4 formation is some of the hidden secrets behind the success of the FM23 Rising Dead Tactic.
