100% agree with your interpretation of over/underlap. That's my finding too and I don't use em when I am playing FM lower leagues. Maybe because of the player attribute distribution in FM test league, overlap tend to be powerful, so I believe it requires players above certain caliber.
its insane, how good this tactic is defensively despite having 7 players on attack and attacking mentality. @ZaZ : Did you try this on balanced mentality ?
@Eddie : You can use this tactic as-is, you might think there is a big difference between 60 and 65, but in-game you wont notice that big of a difference. I am sure the awesome community will keep improving 4231 but in the mean time, you can still use this formation to do a save.
Changes made:
Using the famous DLP + DM combo as DM's and one lone CM (At). No flank plays. No over/underlaps.
Really? This changes the tactic just an FYI. Always remove it, if you are doing a holiday run
lol
Added Left Flank Play
