ok, the problem here is that it's april the 1st and sampdoria, my new club, are in a bit of a relegation battle. the formation they play is one that i've never even considered before and i don't really understand how it might work but they have a relatively good record using it considering the strength of their squad.

the formation they play is a 3-4-2-1 where the four are all the proper midfield position and they have two central attacking midfielders.

the formation in itself makes a lot of sense to me based on the strength of the squad. obviously the previous manager has bought players to suit this formation but i don't know what to do in my team instructions at all.

any tips?

note: it's clearly a defensive formation as indicated by their results this season and the fact that the formation is listed in the standard tactics list as 3-4-2-1 defensive.
