EDIT: The .fmf is now attatched. Feel free to try it out. But be aware, my team is extremly good, and players are moulded with PPMs for this. This is probably not gonna be effective for all teams or in all leagues.

Hi, would this set up be able to work using a DLF(s) instead of a F9? F9 has actually worked well for me but it could prevent me from using really good strikers to the max of their ability. DLF(s) is more common among better strikers in the game, say Haaland, at least thats what I've noticed.

[The "Official" Tactic Request Thread - Can't find what you're looking for? ASK HERE!!]

Hi guys relatively new to FM thanks to the coronavirus am aiming to design a possession based tactic which I can use as a template for most of my saves and make small adjustments on the way. I know the generic way to do this is to play with HB or A in DM strata but am trying to make a 4231 variant which would add to my flexibility. Anyone got some ideas on the roles and instructions I should be using? Thanks

[4231 possession]

Hi guys I have been trying to build a 4231 system geared towards a possesion style. I've attached an example with Man Utd below. I originally wanted to do 433 but might nlt have the personnel for that. I am currently lining up like this:
SK(s)
WB(s)
BPDs(d)
WB(s)
BWM(d)
DLP(s)
IW(s) mark tighter
AP(s) roam from position, move into channels, mark tighter
IF(a) mark tighter
DLF(a) roam from position, mark tighter
I've done a few test runs and spotted a few issues with my system:

1. AP and DLF can often compete for space in the "hole" area in the game and it often leads to one of them becoming redundant. I have tried switching AP to AM but he still gets way less touches in zone 14, perhaps because playmakers attract the ball in FM.

2. I've heard that an AP and DLP may invade each others' space and reduce each others' effectiveness which also leads to my AP or AM issue. Should I be changing one of their roles?

3. Since I'm trying to play a possession game, I don't think AF would be very useful but I'm unsure about which other striker roles to pick. People say CF is useful but is it usable when you don't have an elite forward (RL9, Kane)? Other than that, I'm just restricted to DLF, F9 and PF, which of these would suit my tactic the best?
