Sean Dyche's 4-4-2 is an iconic tactic that he used with Burnley for many seasons, It was not known for playing the most attractive football or winning trophies.. But what it did do was keep a very average team up in the top flight for multiple seasons, and also made them a very hard to team to beat.

There defending was a massive part of this, always looking like one of the hardest teams to break down. As for goals, they looked to hit the ball long on the counter and also where a deadly force from set pieces.

After being out of work for a while after the Burnley sacking, Dyche finally has been given another chance with Everton. A team that I personally think suits him very well.

Today we have tested with Burnely, Everton and also a powerhouse side just to see how this underdog tactic would work with an elite team.

If you guys wish to see how we made this tactic, go over the results/stats more in depth and also watch some of the in game footage. You can do so by watching the below video!

Predicted 12th, finished 13th. Definitely not plug and play or requires a better quality of player/side.
5 goals from corners, so needs a different/better routine.
23 goals for SC (DLF), 19 for SC (AF). Assists mostly from ML (W) with 13.
