Beyond that, it is quite shocking how often their shape, build-up and positional play reads like a 2-5-3 or 2-3-4-1. Rodrigo often exhibits the same behaviours and is typically better at picking out an incisive forward pass. The 30-year old Polish international is both a progressive passer and mobile runner, who often looks to get beyond or in and around his striker. The most frequent engine in the team to explore different areas of the midfield is in fact, Mateusz Klich. This is less systematic, and more shifting of positions or intelligent reading of the game from their players based on a teammate who has become out-of-position. For now, things are a little bit less tactically complex by Leeds’ high standards and the formation’s changes in shape mostly occur out of the lung-bursting energy provided by their players to adopt positions in either attack or defense that appear rather unexpected but actually are very normal. Last season, the formation changes within the 4-1-4-1 were, at times, a bit outrageous (see the 2019-20 Edition for more details).
