The 2023 January transfer window was the most chaotic and extravagant of all time. Well, at least for the Premier League, leading to questions and accusations of cheating from many, including La Liga, as to how this can happen. I am here to answer those questions.

Every half-decade, tactics change as coaches constantly seek a cutting edge. Long gone are the days when tactics shifted only every few decades as coaches utilized a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 with little tactical nuance.
