The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Tactical performance changes with equal vs unequal numbers of players in small-sided football games (2014, result): “As observed in previous research (Travassos et al., 2012), it seems that the defending team adopted a zone defense with the focus of maintaining all players between the ball and the goal maintain balance with the attacking team.”
An Ecological Dynamics Approach to Skill Acquisition: Implications for Development of Talent in Sport (2013, background): “The most relevant information for performance and learning in dynamic environments arises from continuous performer-environment interactions (Araújo, et al., 2006; van Orden, Holden, & Turvey, 2003; Travassos et al., 2012).”
Varying Numbers of Players in Small-Sided Soccer Games Modifies Action Opportunities during Training (2014, unknown): “A statistically non-significant effect was observed for relative number of players X attacker interactions, F(4,261) = 1.”
