#2. The 4-4-2 Formation

Tite will face difficulties in selecting his squad

The presence of Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino in the squad means that Tite will have problems selecting his striker for the World Cup. While he prefers using Jesus, the incredible performances of Firmino will definitely give him something to think about.

However, the manager can simply solve this problem by pairing the duo together in a 4-4-2 formation. Thiago Silva and Marquinhos can form a decent combination at the center of the defense while Marcelo and Fagner can be utilized in both the left and the right flanks respectively.

Real Madrid's Casemiro and Manchester City's Fernandinho should both feature as defensive midfielders, with Neymar starting on the left wing and Philippe Coutinho switching to the right. While the Barcelona and PSG superstars torment opponents on both flanks, Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino should be deployed up front.

Goalkeeper: Once again, Roma's Alisson should be deployed as the keeper.
