ZOMBIE 4-1-1-4-0

It's back from the dead!

Three team test methodology: Only run premier league, disable first transfer window, control three teams, locking in the same tactic.  Teams selected: Aston Villa, West Ham United, Wolves.

Results: Wolves 3rd, West Ham 4th, Aston Villa 6th
Villa lost final 4 games, still finished 6th only a point behind Man City in 5th
The three teams combined to score over 300 goals!

Tactic theory: Like many of us, I played a lot of strikerless on FM21, it's been difficult to recreate a shape and results, but this one has done it.  While this result was holiday'd, I did look back at lots of goal highlights to get a sense of how it was scoring.  Like everything else in FM22, it was crosses galore.  Gone are the beautiful through-ball strikerless goals of the past.  Now it's wide players finding late runs for easy headers and finishers with defenders sitting way too deep in the box. 

Screenshots of the tactic and final table shown below.  As always, I am interested in a Tottenham simulation or other's results.
