4-3-3 Underdog Tiki Taka

No one thinks a 433 tiki taka that's built for underdogs is possible but guess what? It's more than possible.

The 4-3-3 Underdog Tiki Taka is a dynamic football tactic designed to maximize possession and control of the game, even for teams considered underdogs.

This formation focuses on quick, short passes and maintaining a high pressing style to disrupt the opponent's play.

The 4-3-3 setup includes four defenders, three midfielders, a LW, a RW, and a striker, ensuring a balanced yet aggressive approach.

Ideal for teams aiming to outmaneuver stronger opponents through skillful ball movement and relentless pressure.

This tactic was designed for any team of your choice, if your starting a new save or if your struggling with a current tactic and want to switch.

The tactic also has relentless pressing making big teams afraid of keeping hold of the ball too long which is why we have way more possession.
