How the Tactical Synergy Formula Works
This simulator evaluates trios along three pillars: Role Balance (rewarding combinations that feature at least one linking playmaker/false 9, one vertical channel-runner, and one lethal finisher), Pressing Intensity (measuring defensive transitions in modern pressing schemes), and Historical Goal Output per 90 against verified Premier League metrics.
