Definitely. 

I played 2 seasons with Ajax using a 433 which became a 325 in possession, I did well, winning the league both seasons, but couldn't really achieve anything in Europe. 

I changed to a 4231 which was closer to Gegenpressing rather than possession and ended up getting back to back Champions League Finals. 

The key thing is making sure you're signing players with the right attributes. 

I went for First Touch, Passing, Technique, Decisions, Off The Ball, Positioning, Teamwork, Vision, Work Rate and Stamina. 

The attacking players didn't need Positioning, but the rest I really tried to not sign players if they meet the standard in those attributes.
