So far I've been experimenting before I start my main save and have been quite happy with the average shape of this so far, I have costa and hazard  swap ping position which seems to keep hazard closer to costa, and as a ramdeutner that gives hazard carte blanche to do as he pleases, got to play aload of games with it yet but seems like it could be promising.

Really great thread so far, and it's inspired me to achieve the goal of the thread.

This is what I've come up with. As you can see, it's a 5-4-1 that becomes a 3-4-3 in attack

I've not touched the TIs too much - all I know is that I do want to play out from the back. I set Shape up as Fluid, to ensure that the team defends more as a unit and has its creative freedom more unlocked, and I set Mentality as Control because I want to have a higher default defensive line, a higher level of pressing and have my players on attack duties more likely to get into attacking positions, which is really important for the two wide players. The mentality also reflects Chelsea's quality in the league.

I did however edit a lot of the player roles and all of them are set to Shoot Less Often to ensure the number of long shots currently pervading the match engine are reduced.

In addition

STC - Close Down More - i think this role otherwise best reflects Diego Costa's role IRL.
MR - Get Forward, Sit Narrower, Cut Inside With Ball, Dribble More. I used WM(S) to reflect Pedro/Willian's lower mentality and to help free up the right channel for Azpilicueta who will overlap, but then I added gets forward to get him into that front 3 I want. I feel like WM(S) is the best role to use because it's the most customisable. I also feel like the WM role is best because it doesn't discourage crossing but doesn't force the player wide either. Since we have a right footed player here, having the option to cross will be valuable.
MCR- otherwise unedited
MCL - otherwise unedited
ML - I wanted a Hazard that doesn't really defend but defends better than an IF(A). WP(A) makes perfect sense and this role as default should reflect his behaviour.
Both FB's - Dribble Less, Cross More Often, Stay Wider, Cross From Deep - idea is to have these players leave the dribbling to the wide two ahead of them, cross more often to provide an alternative method of assists/havoc, stay wider to stretch the opposition and provide wide relief, and cross from deep to discourage them from trying to take it past defenders as they are not really suited to it, and it also has the effect of playing balls behind the opposition defensive line, potentially before the opposition defense is properly organised.
DCR+DCL - pretty standard and left as default - looks like playing stoppers will open up too many gaps given the use of wingbacks.
DC - trying to make a sweeper that isn't a sweeper role, but keeps Luiz from doing anything too extravagant. A covering limited defender.

hi

great job, any news or updates? any results?
