so theoretically you could use the best attacking formation with the ball, and most defensive formation without it?
The idea is to defend in a 4231 where the wingers man mark the full backs, and in attack both wing backs invert to sit in front of the dm and the cm on attack pushes up to be next to the at while the wingers sit wide to stretch the defence.
