A 2-4-3-1 lineup is unique. Is that just because playing players like that helps positioning in FIFA or is it a real formation that you are testing? Whatever it is, the results are looking good and you are putting wins together. Gabriel sounds like a great talent. I love finding academy guys and watching them develop in the squad. His impact has been immediate and looks to give the team a spark.

I like this detailed overview of all the standings in the European competitions. Ajax are not the only ones to have underperformed, I see. Man United finishing third in their group... Not too unlikely given their current progress, I'm afraid, but it is surprising that Bayern left the group win vacant for Galatasaray to snatch.

Genk in the next round. I think it's a team that Ajax should be able to beat, but still they might actually be one of the most difficult you could have picked there. Rennes, Real Betis and perhaps Freiburg may be the toughest opponents left now, so if you bring some of the December form with you into the first half of 2024, then you might actually win a trophy here!

Great detail on the tactics and changes, I love to read it. It sounds like Ajax have found their new system and are starting to play like the Ajax we are all used to. Winning the Conference league would be a great first achievement for the youngsters. It is not a competition we normally expect of Ajax but winning silverware in a "down" year is much better than most clubs.
