I'm currently playing a 4-3-3. With one striker up on his own and the two others as playing as wingers. i'd much rather be using two strikers, but just cannot seem to get the team to ever work like this.
but what tactics do you use. I'd love to stick with a tradional 4-4-2, but am a fan of the 3-5-2 with an attacking midfielder supporting the front two.
4-2-2-2. 4 defenders,2 central midfielders(dm and am) 2 wingers slightly pushed up and ur 2 strikers. this tactic is working for my wigan athletic team(just beat chelsea 4-2)
Iuse the Barceloms tactic from fmdownloads,trying it out with Chelsea and doing fantastic with it, also using it with my Leicester game and doing really well with that game also.
4-3-1-2 (No wingers). Just won promotion to the Conference with Moor Green. The tactic has gone through some evolution in terms of player and team instructions and I think it is pretty much near perfect. If I have another good season, I will share the tactic on here with more details about it.
4-3-3 or 4-1-2-3, FL and FR arrows pointing toward FC.
Slow tempo, short passing, 12-14 for def line and width.
Midfield and fowards all set to through ball often and foward run often. The rest rarely
4-4-2 with several small variations.
Wingers with small arrows (classical homa game attack approach), with large arrows (class. home attack vs. bunker formations).
When I take the lead I usually play counter attack.
Wingers without arrows, counter attack and slightly def mentality (on away games) vs. lesser, little stronger and equal teams,
vs. much stronger teams more defensive, deeper def wall, counter attack and tackling hard. Usually that's enough to disrupt their intentions of breaking my team.
I also don't foget to play direct passes and quick tempo when in counter attack mode.
All in all I have up to 8 different tactical approaches of 4-4-2 formations.
Mind you, all these include players in their natural 4-4-2 positions the only visible differences are arrows on wingers.
The [b]real[b] differences between those variants are in mentality (defensive, attacking normal etc.) and not player positions on the pitch.
You must have different approaches vs. different teams, at least when you have a team like mine. Wolverhampton Wanderers. Currently 2nd in the Championship league after 18 games.
