I'm going to do a brief analysis of the most popular formations used in the classic world cups.
2-3-5 is the most popular through the 1938 world cup
then 3-2-5 is most popular during the 1950, '54, & '58 world cups
4-2-4... in 1962 Several formations are used. In studying the quarterfinals and later matches the most popular is the 4-2-4 but this is the first that I have seen of the 4-4-2 lineup we know so well today.
the 4-3-3 is by far the most popular in 1966. Interesting to see Uruguay using the 5-3-2 in some cases. First time that I have seen that 5 defenders were used in a world cup match.
the 4-4-2 is used most commonly in the '70 world cup it seems. But several other formations were used as well. It wasn't as clear this time around.
since we use the 4-4-2 so frequently today (and the 4-5-1 is becomming more popular). I am assuming it became this way in the 70s and moved forward.
In order to speed up the process of creating these teams I'm going to try to make some team templates for attribute values in each formation so that more prepatches can be made more quickly.
This is the goal at least.
Thanks for your time guys!
