    Dependence on specific players' skill level may hurt adaptability.

    Tactical Suggestions

    Increase Width in Attack

    Enhancing width can stretch defenses and create better passing lanes.

    Adjust Defensive Line

    A higher defensive line could disrupt opposition forward play but must be aligned with pacy defenders.

    Consider Rotation of Roles

    Rotating players like AM-S to create space and confuse the opposition may improve attacking fluidity.
