Ryan Lowe's Plymouth 3-4-1-2 Help Requested

[garethalan1982]

Good Afternoon

 

I am hoping to re-create the 3-4-1-2 used by Lowe at Plymouth onto my save. 

I have the basic instructions from researching online but I wasn't entirely sure how to implement them into the game, especially with player roles and specific defending duties. 

I would be really grateful if someone could take a look and shed some light and offer advice on how to go about gaining this style into the game.

 

Below are some extracts of the style etc

 

For Lowe to get the best out of his players he has once again deployed his preferred 3-1-4-2 system, and it provides a huge benefit to his team. With three disciplined and organised centre-backs, who cover the width of the pitch to stretch an opponent’s press, this allows easy progression up the pitch once they regain possession. Lowe has developed a strong relationship between his centre-halves and the wing-backs, which allows the Pilgrims to play out from the back with precision and confidence, while relying on a deep-lying playmaker to get on the ball.

What is quite unique about Lowe as well is he will not have his players keep possession for the sake of it. He likes to play expansive football, but swiftly as his side moves the ball quickly through the thirds with urgency in order to catch out opponents rather than allowing them to get more bodies behind the ball. And the Plymouth boss is not afraid to commit men forward, with his midfielders sometimes bursting forward into a wing-back position in space on the edge of the area in case there is a defensive error with a clearance.

And from "Who Scored"

Plymouth's Style of Play

• Attempt through balls often
• Attack through the middle
• Short passes
• Possession football
• Opponents play aggressively against them
• Consistent first eleven
• Playing in their own half
• Non-aggressive

Hi

I've just made a Ryan Lowe tactic which you can find on Steam:

There are a few compromises I had to make to make it work with the FM match engine but overall its fairly successful. 

Hope you enjoy!
