3421 the shape that made Leverkusen, Atalanta some of most exiting teams in europe irl.
This is another try for my favorite tactic 352, classic no narrow etc seems simpler and looks better
Went back to 433 this time added meta TI invite crosses and narrow to this shape this is based on https://fm-arena.com/thread/11990-433-minato-namikaze-ii/ so basically same stuff just mark tighter PI and mark specific also those 2 TI, also roam PI on wingers.
Moved from AM strate to M strate the wingers also added invite crosses and narrow TI, also roam from position PI to wingers to make them more movement based.
4231 which becomes 235 very strong and balanced just that in FM there is this meta WB IF which in real life is not but here is ...
235 with the ball classic IWB/S stuff.
Went back to classic 433 removed the narrow TI, mark specific for wingers didn't like dumbmarking all time, also the shape is very clear attacking with 7 players in the box, seems very strong
Here trying to make a super powerful wide play tactic with Wingers (A).
Back to my roots, the 352 tried to counter the weakness of the 352 in FM which is defending with only 8 players in the box which is pretty difficult also with no wingers so you get big burden on the defense, two strikers mark the two DM'S 90% of teams in FM play with double DM'S.
This time a 3-2-5 removed some TI to make it simpler, looks cleaner lets see those underlaps and narrow removed how it affects
Trying this classic 2-3-5 meta in real world not at all here, but i think is still very solid, META TI/PI very impressed with mark specific positions very solid.
We try 433 classic good shape but wanted to try in new fm arena league the iwb w which irl is 90% of teams right now so looks good.
If i am not here 352 is dead so lets see this in this new test format
Maybe a dumb question but how can you buy or get fm 13 now just curious, FM big problem is there is 1 way to really win and be strong this has been since forever, but ME feel wise the 24 is the best apart from some bugs.
Trying the 4312 based on this, changes on PI and some roles https://fm-arena.com/thread/9067-big-truck-4312/
Suprising the CM sucks in this ME, DM SV in attack can even attack better cause he is more present in build up while good going forward
Tried the CM version, seems better in attack but i expect very similar result.
There is a huge lack of support for 352 so i basically return here to return 352 in spotlight even though it is far far from meta but love this shape.
A Smile said: Can PFS really replace AF?

Interesting take on 3 PF on support really interesting, tbf PF plays like AF but presses bit more and can be little bit more involved in build up, would you recommend two PF-S or one on support and one on attack in a 2 striker partnership ?
Fantastic result with a 4312 big difference that 3 DM makes in this shape compared to 1 DM and 2CM especially defensively
