kjarus said: @crizeKOS Have you tried to use DM(s) with PI "hold position" instead of DM(d)? The possession numbers are much better and no need to add "pass it shorter" to other players. Not sure how much loosing on defense...

No but that's good idea man, u should put into test. As I said, im not expert on PIs. U gotta understand that my main intend here is to break opp defense through a diagonal pass by the DW. With the support role u may icrease the risk that dm is tanking and level up the system variability. Instead of a DLP this can be a better choice.
guys, I didnt tweak set pieces. U guys gotta fix that. Btw, any suggestion of meta set pieces? We gotta test that 😅
XMas set pieces are not good 🤣🤣, I forgot to tweak and to mention that
Nyeriel said: Wow that looks quite interesting ! Finally a tactic without the 424 shape which is refreshing nice !
Any idea what team I could pick in serie A or la liga to play with your tactic without changing much in the squad? thanks


Well I guess that the tests made throught the custom league are with teams like Roma/Leverkusen. Choose someone with this tier/media predction...
For me this is the tactic with the most potential on the table, is a scoring machine! Keep working on that!
Here it goes @Droid

I made some slight twists but mainly with your ideas and its absolute beast, and definitely better than 4222 that's been the meta:

- On offense you are occupying channels with 7 players instead of 6 - nightmare for defense.
- On defense you are tracking back with 7 players instead of 6.
- Defensive wingers absolute key to the tactic - on offense they pinch back the opposition fullback and open up channels, while on defense provide immediate support to your DM.
- A lot of verticality due to inverted wing backs allowing strikers/shadow striker position higher up the pitch.

Probably will need to fine tune the TI's and PI's but congrats on laying a very strong foundation.


Nice twists u've made m8 ^_^, you should put for testing ^^. Unfortunelly PIs are not my strenght and I hope someone can fine tune Xmas in the next days. I guess I ll get some rest now lmao
crizeKOS said: Yes, and the fatigue logic that is in this fm23. U cant counter pressing the entire game without being punished. Maybe this is something that can improve this tactic... someome must test it hehe


Sane said: But you also removed play out of defense, this can also affect, you shouldn’t have removed it)

And the question, why do you refuse counter-pressing? Did you do better in tests?


But as a said, this is a tactic for good teams that relies on CA decision making so counter off gives the players the freedom to decide by themselves
maybe in a run with Nott Forest this can nerf the tactic for instance

Yes (the forum tests shows that and for the same reason i took play out of fedense off), and the fatigue logic that is in this fm23. U cant counter pressing the entire game without being punished. Maybe this is something that can improve this tactic... someome must test it hehe
Chocorelo19 said: No I think mentality is spot on. Maybe I am saying that because we are the only ones who use it :D
kidding aside you have a great base there and as there are almost no player instructions I think the key is there to hit higher score. We will see soon as more tactics will pop up! Again amazing score bro! GJ


Underlap instruction made this shape score 4 points higher lmao
There are hidden stuff that we didnt realized yet
kezman1309 said: what do you do in game and do you ever change mentality ?

hope u guys may test this tactic with other mentalities, I made based on the tatical inscructions made by the forum testers
Exellent said: What are the important skills needed to defensive wingers?

just follow the attibute table testmade by the forum testers. Mainly position mastery, speed, acc... How it is a tactic with low number of PIs I advicw to pick someone with good CA for the leaguel tier level u r playing.
PIs, I tried to keep it clean and focus more on the general aspects of the tactic and the shape, so we have just a few ones
Let's the W Diamond shape era begin 😁😁
Let's the W Diamond era begin ^_^
Prometheus 2.0 chelsea holiday run, fantastic! Best pass completion ratio i've seen so far; ur defensive tweaks made this one very strong!!! gj!!!
frisk424_twkd a.k.a frisk424 overfocus

frisk424 was updated, I realized that the 424 we are using and performing at high scores on the table lack focus play down the flanks to the players move as a block. So, I would like to test this instruction, ty in advance
