4-1-2-1-2 Divine Water

Tactics that have proven very effective in the 24.2 Match Engine have a tendency to include 2 strikers or the 4-2-3-1 (2 DM) shape. While an overlapping or underlapping tactic with multiple flanking players is powerful, Full Backs have seen a rise in success lately, with innate role instructions that makes them attempt more crosses. To take full advantage of that tendency, this tactic has left the flanks open to the FBs while keeping a compact narrow shape that utilizes the shorter passing well. The Carrileros in midfield are intended to take advantage of the narrow shape while contributing to the wider area of play between central and flanking areas, something that has seen great effectiveness even in the previous year's match engine.
