MAD 25 4132 RM P111 FC

4132 high tempo short passing

This looks super workable if you don't have a pair of DMs to run the 424 but have an AM(C) and a DM? I'm assuming it performs a little worse (sorry am new here so haven't figured out the relative strengths of things or the names of tactics + numbers) as you score more going forward but also conceded more due to less players behind the half way line?

I Classify it as an Elite tactic for teams like Real Madrid, the code is 111 pts in league and won 2 cups

Thank you. I kind of figured it might be Elite from who you tested it with. I didn't know if the Mad 25 stood for anything? (I guessed the 111 was points). I think this is 100% super workable though as it's like the hybrid between a 424 and 4213. I can see how it works best witb elite teams though due to being a bit more exposed at the back.

It is short for MAD AS A HATTER and I use a fm25 updated database. Usually I try to score 200 goals in a season with either MAD or KASHMIR.

Cheers for that and it makes sense. Have seen one of your 4114 formations that I think I like (and it seems a better fit for my players at the minute, rather than trying to force a 424 or 4132 (where I don't have 2 x ideal DMs or an AM(C) with an attacking role).

I would look at positions rather than roles or duties

Noted and thanks 👍 I Just assumed if I had someone who was a better fit as a CM rather than a DM run a 4114 rather than a 424 potentially (and get the CM in play)?

Could you realistically do this with a Shadow Striker instead of an AM in the middle? I'm thinking it would leave too much of a gap behind the front 5 (but would be better from an attacking point of view?)

Thank you. Super interesting. Would have thought it would have resulted in more goals which it did but oddly I'd have thought they would have come from Bellingham but he had notably less. Will definitely have a look at this. Not sure I have the players to run it at the minute (this one with the AM and DM I do and it works nicely when I've used it) but this looks a touch more aggressive.

This set up was not bad

Thank you. The legendary 415 makes an appearance. If I had a CF (weirdly I have the forwards just nobody who could play that role at the minute) or a half decent squad I'd 100% give that a go. With tweaking an OP team like Madrid that looks like a 200+ a season potental tactic?
