Positive mentality
4231
The narrow attacking shape gets the best out of the forwards, Mbappe with 5 goals and 2 assist, Dembele with 3 goals and 1 assist, Marcus Thuram with 4goals
Olise with 3 goals.
In the Belgium Save Lukaku scored 7 goals in the world cup.
The players roles in my Belgium save was slightly different. Short passing and narrow shape is key to the tactic, for the Belgium save i had Lukaku as a Tcf out of possession (Defending in a hybrid 4231/442)
When leading i switched to balanced mentality
When in search of a goal I used pass into space , attacking mentality and be more expressive.
For France, When in search of a goal, I switched to more direct passing and pass into space.
Theo hernandez role, 2 assist in the final.

Quater final finish.
USA quater finalist ( i deleted the save file) USA beat Argentina on penalties after drawing 3:3 in regular time, i lost to Canada in the quater.
This style isn't plug and play.

I have a save file with Brazil with a similar set up if you need.
