it depends on what type of players you got.
I play 4-4-2 with a flat back four 2 central midfielders (normally a DMC or MC on the right and an AMC on the left side) with 2 wingers arrowed to the byline with 2 strikers.
I use a slightly attacking mentality with a quick tempo and i use the playmaker which is normally my AMC.
I set individual instructions for the 2 central midfielders the DMC/MC has his forward runs limited and all other options like run with ball etc mixed
The AMC has forward runs and run with the ball set to often and i leave through balls as it is already set.
It gets me goals but you need a good defence (well two good centrebacks as the fullbacks push on) and a good keeper for it to be a success and thats my tactic in a nutshell its upto you if you try it but you never know what works until you try it
good luck |
