MY SUGGESTION

DEFENCE
why not playing with 3 defenders together without sarrows but to give the left and right often crossing and team width :wide.
i use this and it works they have the most passes. They will also have a lot closing down and will close down their wingers too..

MIDFIELD
instead of DMs i would put in MCs. One of them (stronger, taller, defensive) with lower mentality, and one more creative
(CLEON i dont think ur formation will work as u have 2 creative DMs-u would need one Gattusso style-destroyer-or sissoko(tall)

can u try this defensive part of the team, it works for me but i dont know how it will for u?

i tried like this before(not enough attacking)

but this one works best for me(u can put one ST to AM):

I can make any variation of the W-M work but I wont to actually keep the shape so its still a W-M.

The only changes I would make are make the FR/FL SC's so I play a flat 3 with them having backward diagnoal arrows to AML/AMR positions. Or id make the 2 MC's AMC'S. This way I still keep the original shape morealess.

ooooooh men i have spent the last 2 days creating this tactic (like i said i would) only to find you have created it already. nice. i have to say the 3-2-2-3 is the best formation ever. i am still tweaking mine so i can perfect it but i can already see the potential(i just outplayed liverpool in the CM and beat them 2-0). if i dont manage to get the balance i might try yours.

KUTGW anyway.

Hi there. I was very interested in the previous version of this tactic but never really got to test, use or tweek them.

Would there be a home and away version or would there be just one tactic that would be defensive as the tactic seems very attacking.

Id just use one version.

I'm so frustrated at the minute as I can see the potential in my team, I'm just making too many mistakes as well. Once I sort these I'll be fine. I will post my settings once I'm happy with what I'm doing

doesn't the single DC get caught with through passes etc? i guess the dmc/s are there to stop this. but the ball over the top (that is soooo frequent)

i might like to try this tac with a sweeper..heh, but that may invite increased pressure.

i also would put amc's rather than mc's, if only for symmetry (and W M look)

It still is the same shape it doesn't alter. The dc is fine because i use barrows on the dmcs, so i actually have 5 at the back when i loose the ball

my version of the M-W seems to be ok. my team has won 5 in a row including away wins against arsenal and l.pool. i find that having DM with good positioning really helps to make the defense solid.

ok. so i have gone on a 10 game unbeaten run and already teams are staring to play the 3-3-2-1-1 formation against me, including the 4-4-2 without farrows which are both very hard formations to break down. this sucks!

I've not given up on this, I'm just a bit busy at the minute. Hopefully tonight I can post some screenshots and stats up for you. I've had an indifferent start to say the least but my results are picking up now I made several changes. Although I lost my playmaker for 2 months which is proving a struggle in certain games.

I'm doing a lot better in Europe though and this is down to the formations you face on the continent as they normally differ quite a lot from the domestic scene.

Was awaiting for yr results Cleon and hope to see them soon.
Anyway, I find the wingers with instructions crossing Byline and to Targetman devastating..

However, I can really get the defence right.

As Claude Davis isnt the fastest of player, I play a deep defensive line, but he still keep moving up the field and getting caught when the opponent makes a through ball.

It's no use having a squad full of star players without a decent way for them to play their football.
