Simple crafting of a 4-3-3 DM
HowzatFM replied to Johnny Ace's topic in Tactics, Training & Strategies Discussion
To get the 4-3-3 to defend in a 4-1-4-1 mid block, is it best to have the wide players on support or move them back to the wide midfielder role? -

HowzatFM replied to Kyle Brown's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I think some people are over reacting, yes it is frustrating some things have not been fixed since early access (especially the player complianing about play time that play every week) but overall this year is a massive improvement on FM23 and I'm sure it won't be long until the update is realased addressing the main issues currently being seen -

To provide some small updates to what I am now using after some small tweaks I have removed get further forward from the DM(su), this prevents him taking up the space I want the IW to move into. I've changed the DLF and BWM to support roles, with the BWM told to hold position. WB(A) changed to FB(A) - just looking at the role description (although primarily a defensive player, he must be prepared to get forward when the team needs extra width)I think a FB(A) is more suited to Emery and how Digne has been playing this season. With the added PI(s) I am having much more success down the left. Current PIs: FB(a) - stay wider, dribble more LCB - stay wider DM(su) - take more risks, , tackle harder BWM(su) - hold position WM(a) - dribble more, mark opposition winger (in tougher games and sometimes to see out results in get the 6-2-2 shape Emery has used) IW(su) - sit narrower, mark opposition winger (in tougher games and sometimes to see out results in get the 6-2-2 shape Emery has used) Still has to be a flexible tactic with Counter, Counter press and tempo added / adjusted depending on the game situation. At home against games I expect to win I have been using Much Higher Defensive Line, really allows the team to dominate with the back 3 sitting on the half way line in possession. Screenshot from the most recent game vs Luton when Bailey came on. Digne is wide left Some screenshots below from FM on what I have been able to achieve Average position with the ball shows the 3-2-5 / 3-2-4-1 shape acheived with the IW(su) cutting in and close to the striker -

Using a more attacking profile at Right Mid, this is what I have settled on. Very similar to @beverage1982, using the DM(su) was a great shout for the Luiz profile, it also added more balance to the left side and allows the WB to really get forward on attack duty providing the width. Best results I have had so far in getting the 3-2-5 shape and play style Emery has implemented. DM(su) - take more risks, get further forward, tackle harder WM(a) - dribble more, mark opposition winger (in tougher games and sometimes to see out results in get the 6-2-2 shape Emery has used) IW(su) - sit narrower, mark opposition winger (in tougher games and sometimes to see out results in get the 6-2-2 shape Emery has used) WB(a) - stay wider, dribble more (if using Moreno) LCB - stay wider Counter, Counter press and tempo added / adjusted depending on the game situation
