343 Amorim

In honor of the Premier League's latest managerial addition, I've created my own interpretation of Ruben Amorim's tactics. My goal was to create a tactic that is not too far away from the real setup Amorim uses, while still implementing some of the meta FM concepts.

A few things that I think stand out:
- This tactic scores a lot and rarely draws. Many of the goals are easy on the eye - central overloads + third man runs into the box, plus cutbacks.

- 3 at the back provides solid cover against counterattacks. I tried several combinations, for example WCB-LB-WCB which is closer to the usual Amorim setup, but it was just not as effective as 3 BPDs. The 3 BPDs + Regista dropping, bait the opposition press and make a huge difference for quick, incisive transitions.

- The double pivot setup can be very flexible. The standard 2 DM(support) works fine. RPM - BWM also works. But in the end I opted for a very aggressive combo of Volante(attack)-Regista. The main reason is this setup is very strong at overloading the opposition through the middle, and providing a constant threat through third man runs and long through balls.
