Any formation with 3 back, because the players get confused as hell and it turns into 10 back most of the time. Never really seen a good 3 back team in recent years
Why would you hate a formation? All formations have some kind of logical foundations and practical uses. It is true that some formations have become extinct, like the 3-5-2 with a libero, but I don't really get why you would hate a formation?! I think every formation can have its benefits, depending on the team, I. E. The available players. I'm currently very annoyed by the Croatia manager using a 4-2-3-1 with the Croatian team, using two forwards as wingers.... But that's another story
I remember Roma's 4-6-0 from back in the day, that was crazy. Totti was playing a trequarista, so no real strikers, and they still kicked ass. So I guess any formation can work given the right circumstances
