In short - have played quite a lot of 352s this year one way or another, and what always irritates me is the dugout message about the lack of connection between the forwards and the midfield every couple of games (and even though you are getting good results you end up thinking am I missing something). So I decided to solve that (hopefully) by sticking a No.10 in and make a 3511 (30 years after Bilardo, Maradona and Argentina used one in some of their games on the way to winning the 86 World Cup).

As a starting point I used 2 AC as a base: https://fm-arena.com/thread/19408-2ac/

and also after a couple of goes, and realising I was solid at the back and could perhaps move the 6 up to an 8 and get more going forward was inspired by this from Knap https://www.fmscout.com/q-33952-Knap-FM-26-Tactics.html?d=12#309956 - and as I wasn't sure what I was doing OOP, went for the seemingly Meta 523 OOP.

Think there is way more on the table with this. Not sure the SS is the best choice (did several other tests - why this is RevC - with an FR, AM and AP and a conventional 352 layout with a 6 - and the SS scored best which is why I went forward with it). Think there may be better roles in midfield, and I'm not sure the OCB is needed - as I seem to have enough going forward. Like the fact I was seemingly getting double digit goals from a lot of players. End of the season was solid as well - short of dropping the conference league final.

Can see FM DNA has Palace as one of his test teams currently & upper 70s seems to be a good score?

Sorry for the rambling on - first tactic.

Am open to any suggestions.
