Tactical Identity
4-2-3-1High PressAlt: 4-3-3In poss: 4-2-3-1 — Baleba as defensive pivot, one CM pushes forward, Mitoma and Minteh stay wide, Rutter links in the 10 space between linesOut of poss: 4-4-2 mid-block — press activated by triggers in own half, wingers drop to midfield line, compact vertical structure limits opponent options
Possession-dominant, analytically driven recruitment, positional play. Mitoma and Minteh provide width. Carlos Baleba (€55m) has transformed midfield. Rutter as the creative no.10.
Hürzeler continuing Brighton's elite data-driven model. Carlos Baleba's enormous market value reflects his impact as the best DM Brighton have had. Yankuba Minteh explosive on the right. Multiple CF options developing. João Pedro sold for big profit — typical Brighton model.
