Formation Quick Tactics is the football-games lens for this idea. Football tactics in games are interesting when they stop being menu labels and start changing space. A role, press, or buildup rule has to create visible consequences players can diagnose during a match. The useful question is not whether it is authentic in the abstract; it is what kind of football behavior it rewards once players start optimizing.
