Just wanted to say that I love this tactic.

Been playing with 3 at the back for a while, mostly because I think 4123 or 4231 are overpowered.

Was playing for sometime with my own mid-block tactic, but it just suddenly stopped working after multiple playthroughs, and I couldn't work out why.

Yours is not too dissimilar, so I gave it a go and it is working beautifully. It has a lovely balance to it, and does not seem OP.

I like to play the game by trying to put players in their preferred positions and roles. I think it makes the game more interesting when signing players and adds a little variety to the play as players come and go.

For example, my last game was like this.

                                         SK (D)

               WCB (D)         BPD (C)         WCB (D)

CWB (A)                                     Vol (S)             CWB (S)

                           BWM (D)

IF (S)                                          SS (A)

                                        PF (A)

 

I do switch players and roles, but I'm sticking to having a defensive role to cover the attacking wingback. I've also played with a winger cutting in on the left instead of the SS, but I don't think it's as effective. In fact, I think the SS is the key to this. You notice the increase in XG when the SS plays. I have also played an AP and AM on attack there, and they both work ok, but the SS is best, I think.

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for this. Really enjoying it,.
