I love this graphic. Is there any chance of separate graphics for each league?
It's a wrong idea, it doesn't exist the 'right' tactic, it depends on the player you have. Although there are unbalanced and wrong formations independently from the player like 5-4-1 but no one uses them, or they are disused. the most beautiful football I've seen this season was played by Barcelona 343 or 433, juventus and pescara both with 433
3-5-2 and 3-4-2-1 seems to be the best tactics. Not every team can play with three defenders. You need balls.
4-2-3-1 is the best tactic for beautiful football as well. The 3 attacking mids should have playmaker characteristics.
