The Testudo

I got tired of trying the same formations and variations and decided to have a go making a tactic constrained by some rules:

- No strikers
- No attacking midfielders
- Maximum of one wide midfielder/winger
- Must be asymmetric

The tactic relies on conceding possession and creating chances by lots of late runs from unpredictable positions. 3 inverted wingbacks, 2 mezzalas, and a segundo volante making runs from deep and underlapping.

Won the league with City and got 7th with Norwich. City averaged 47% possession! Norwich 43%.

Testudo name comes from the roman shield formation, reflected by the team packing into their own half
