Okay well the title pretty much says it all. I want to create a tactic with 3 at the back with a sweeper and 2 centre backs. (Garay SW, Richards CB and maybe Pocognoli or Schmoller CB)

My midfield will be very very attacking i want one DM (Denilson, Gago) playing in CM position with back arrow). I then want 4 attacking midfielders playing as AMC, AMC, AML, AMR with the wingers on forward arrows and the 2 AMC on free role (Nani, Guardado, BenArfa, Gourcuff, Raul Garcia, Silva, Cardenas)

I then want 2 Strikers, Vela as my target man and Aguero as my pacey striker.

Im just looking for help in setting this up, player instructions, team instructions etc?

Is it best to have my defense on same mentality as rest of my team (attacking) or set them up as defensive? Want to keep my players close together to make good passing moves easier but be solid at the same time.

At the moment my defensive line is deep, my tempo slow, my passing short. My wingers cross from mixed often to far post. I have Vela on hold ball up but quite often when he does this we lose posession or the attack stalls, advice please? he is my target man but would i be better off not having him hold the ball up?

I know this is a very bold attcking formation but i like the look of it, i also realise i will not have the best of defenses in terms of goals conceded but really im after advice on setting this defense up to get the best out of it?

Your help and advice would be appreciated!!!!

My advice - Dont do it...

However its your game and your choice.. personally i feel anything less than 4 at the back and a DM is asking for trouble.

let me know if you prove me wrong .. lol

I tried several variations of 3 at the back - including using 5 with wingbacks

And they all flopped. Thats probably more down to my inadequacies, but I think it will be a difficult nut to crack.

But good luck

i normally use either a 4-1-3-2 or a 4-1-4-1 tactic with just a cm with a back arrow to dm position and two wingers and two or one amc normally in a free role.

Would like to make three at the back successful as it would open up many more formation possibilities :thup:
