natpatrat Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Hi. I'm pretty bad at making tactics but I've finally made one that I actually like. I find it really easy to create good chances as my players make lots of overlapping runs that create overloads in attack. Though of course, it isn't perfect and I concede a lot of goals with it. I have a few questions/problems: My wingbacks often go incognito which I assume is because of my very narrow formation. Would complete wingbacks do a better job affecting play? Or should I push them up a position and have the occupy the WB instead of DL position? I notice that since I usually create overloads in attack I'm vulnerable to counters. Is there anything I can do to help this? I would appreciate any misc thoughts on my tactic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ_Randell Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I'd maybe be tempted to push the wing backs into the wingback position further up the pitch and change the DM to a Half Back.. Create a 3421 in possession. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mix things up a little A back 5 w/a libero is another option here, a 3-4-2-1- is a very defensively solid formation which would address some of your out of possession issues.
