The PERFECT Magic Box FM23 Tactic (65% Avg Poss)

It is believed that the 4-2-2-2 system, often known as the "magic box," "magic rectangle," or "magic square," was initially utilised in 1950s Brazil, where Flávio Costa prioritised free, fluid, and improvisational offensive play.

The 4-2-2-2 system was then employed by French manager Albert Batteux, who won eight Ligue 1 championships with Reims and Saint-Étienne between the 1950s and 1960s, the most of any manager.


The 4-2-2-2 formation was once most popular in South America, despite the fact that the France national team utilised it to win the 1984 Euro.
