I am always curious and ready to listen to others ideas, because you can always learn more.

Hey,

I have finished my second season at Benfica using this tactic and would like to share my results.



In general terms, there's no question this is a a very powerful base upon which to be successful playing FM23. That being said, the reasoning behind moving the IWs into the midfielder strata was to make the team more compact, defensively solid, even if that would mean sacrificing a bit the attacking effectiveness of the system. Your mileage may vary, but I was not very successful at that. Case in point, the two PSG matches I have played in the quarter finals of the Champions League:



I feel that some of this inconsistency can be explained by my team being very young (average age of 24) and lots of morale drops from players wanting new contracts / wanting to leave and I being intransigent wanting them to stay and saying no to their demands. There's a natural itch to change things up to optimize instructions or positioning but I will resist the urge for this season. After all, the more they play together, the better it'll get, right?

PS: I know everyone uses Schjelderup in this FM but in my defence he did go to Benfica in real life this transfer window.

PPS: My best striker, Goncalo Ramos, was out for 5 months with a broken leg and he was definitely missed during the second half of the season.
