It has nothing to do with personal. Against 2 strikers often teams played with a 3 man back line to have a spare man. The reason 3 man back lines have fallen out of favor is because against a lone striker it becomes 3 v 1 at the back. That is the biggest problem in switching is that you possibly lose an advantage somewhere else on the field.

But as was stated in the other thread, even though formation sheets list one striker, few teams actually play with 1 lone attacker.

You can play a 3 man back line against lone strikers. The defenders just have to communicate well and stay connected. We also have some fairly athletic CBs (especially the younger guys), so that helps in covering.
