You need the 3 behind the striker to score plenty especially a goal scoring No 10 ( like Chaplin) as well as a decent striker on the bench
I just think people write 4231 off as they just see it as one up top
Out of possession
—Pack-morrell—
Lane-leigh-agyei

In possession
———Pack———
—morrell—Leigh—

Just the midfield structure you’d have full backs bombing up pack would sit in front of the central defenders effectively protecting as a back 3. That way a 4231 you could have 7 attacking.
Also only using Leigh and Agyei as 2 players that could fit a attacking midfielder and left forward which are reasonable targets
