Player Roles (Key Focus)
AF (A): Advanced Forward – Relentless goal threat, runs channels, presses defenders.

IF (A): Inside Forwards – Both wings cut inside, shoot, and create overloads.

AM (S): Advanced Playmaker – Orchestrates attacks, finds pockets, assists and scores.

DM (S): Double Pivot – Both DMs shield defence, recycle possession, break up play.

FB (A): Full-Backs – Constantly overlap, offer width, create chances.

BPD (D): Ball-Playing Defenders – Start attacks, play risky passes, step into midfield.

SK (D): Sweeper Keeper – Acts as last defender, participates in build-up.

Set Pieces
Defensively solid with zonal marking.

Attack corners and free-kicks with aerial threats from centre-backs and late runners.

Why It Works
Overwhelms opponents with numbers in attack, but double DM pivot ensures stability.

Pressing traps and narrow shape mean no free passes for opponents.

Adaptability: Can see out games or push for goals without losing balance.
