The 3-4-3 formation is the ultimate solution for Tite if he wants to select a very strong attacking team in the World Cup this year. It will make goalscoring easier as it creates room for plenty of attackers to operate.

With many bodies thrown forward in this line-up, the Selecao defense must consist of solid defenders who are able to neutralize opposition attacks without overlapping. Therefore, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, and Filipe Luis should make up the 3-man defense.

There will be only one defensive midfielder and that spot should be reserved for Casemiro. Juventus winger, Douglas Costa should be deployed on the left while Renato Augusto should join him on the right.

Moving forward, Philippe Coutinho should feature as an attacking midfielder, creating decent chances for the front-three to score. Once again, Neymar should attack from the left wing, Willian should play from the right and Gabriel Jesus should be deployed as the number 9.

Goalkeeper: Since this is an attacking formation, Manchester City goalkeeper, Ederson Moraes, should feature between the sticks. The 24-year-old should be given the nod due to his amazing footwork and his incredible passing.
