Holly Jolly X-Mas Tree

It's like Christmas came early XDDD

This is a perfect 4321 that does really well in creating vertical overloads while remaining a strong defensive shape with the DM dropping in between both CBs and the AMs covering the flanks while the CHF drops into midfield.

Test Results: Arsenal - Won the EPL + UCL Burnley - Qualified for Europe (predicted 20th) and a FA Cup win

Arsenal







Burnley







Player Instructions for both IP and OOP shapes:

Both WBs - Sit Narrower, Cross from Byline, Take More Risks, Tackle Harder
DM - Shoot Less Often, Tackle Harder
Both CHMs - Shoot Less Often, Tackle Harder
Both AMs - Move into Channels, Make More Runs, Tackle Harder

Advice: Make sure to recruit CMs that offer great balance in defence and attack, look for fullbacks who offer a bit of attacking quality (dribbling and crossing) and make sure to monitor squad fitness + morale which can influence your tactic's performance.
Disclaimer: This test was done by going on holiday delegating everything to staff EXCEPT Set Pieces and OIs. Also i ticked " make first team players available for u21 matches" so that match sharpness could remain consistent throughout the season.

Set pieces used: Baz's Set Pieces FM26
