They won the World Cup and they are perhaps the greatest team of all time because of the way they played the beautiful game - elevated to a true artform. This is the encapsulation of everybody's football dreams before or since. This is the side against which all others are measured. Only the modern Barcelona, or the Brazil team of 1958 could be perhaps compared to this team.

Essentially it was:
----- Clodoaldo ----- Gérson -----
------------ Pelé ------------
Jairzinho ---- Tostão ---- Rivelino
But only Jairzinho was really an out-and-out forward. Tostão was a number 10 for his club - not a center-forward and Rivelino was a withdrawn left-wing here and a number 10 for his club.
Similarly Gerson and Clodoaldo, while both deep-lying midfielders on paper, had very different roles.
While some people would refer to it as a 4-3-3 it was really a very flexible midfield where Pelé, Gérson, Tostão and Rivelino all played on both sides of the ball. Curiously, Clodoaldo, the one who played almost exclusively on the defensive side, scored his only career goal for Brazil at the World Cup, whereas Jairzinho of course scored in every game.
Tostao's job was all about creating space for others, hustling, sacrificing for the team.
Central Defender (DC)-Heading, Marking, Tackling, Composure, Concentration, Decisions, Determination, Positioning, Jumping, and Strength, Teamwork
Full Back (DL/DR) Marking, Tackling, Anticipation, Concentration, Positioning, Team Work, Work Rate, Acceleration and Stamina, Crossing
Central Midfielder (MC)First Touch, Passing, Decisions, Determination, Positioning, Team Work, and Work Rate
Heading, Marking and Tackling for a Defendduty
Long Shots, Marking, Tackling, Creativity and Off the Ball for a Supportduty
Trequartista (The Pele Role)So pele attacked and helped set up goals in the world cup, and assisted the Carlos Alberto goal that could be perhaps the best ever, he had a free role in the world cup, and was left to do what he liked.
Winger -Crossing, Dribbling, Technique, Decisions, Flair, Off the Ball, Acceleration, Agility, Balance and Pace
Inside Forward-Dribbling, Passing, Decisions, Flair, Off the Ball, Team Work, Acceleration, Pace, Crossing, Finishing and Creativity
Deep-Lying Forward (False no.9) -Dribbling, First Touch, Passing, Technique, Creativity, Decisions, Off the Ball, Teamwork and Strength
I left the Opp instructions up to my assistant. And I didn’t pay attention to the size of the pitch.
I tried it with Control and with Attack Philosophy. And the attack was much better shown in the tables below, apart from a loss in my first game when the team hadn't learnt the tactic.

Any questions please ask me...
Make the pitch wide, and I had no Opp instructions
PS: DO NOT EXPECT THIS TO WORK WONDERS WITH LOWER LEAUGE TEAMS- ITS BASED ON BRAZIL 1970
