After the success of the Ajax 4-2-1-3 on #FM23 I have been taking the tactic and adapting to some of the game's great players to try and get the best out of them. This adaptation is at Manchester City and for Kevin de Bruyne. As you can see, the system changed to 4-1-2-3.

#FM22 Tactic thread. I started a save with Newcastle to test an idea about a pressing heavy side. The line up is a 4-1-2-3, using inverted wing backs to help fill the midfield spaces. This is a high risk tactic that also has high rewards.

The 4-1-4-1 I used at Ajax has been the best system I have used on #FM24 so far. I felt that id it was a top tier club it would dominate. So I took it to Liverpool for a season. It did indeed dominate and it was an excellent season for Captain Chaos himself, Darwin Nunez.

After the Real Madrid defensive monster version of the diamond/four player midfield on #FM24 we have the offensive monster. 140 league goals, a treble and a massive xG rating.

New #Blog . Building a powerful scoring tactic for #FM21 , possibly the best I have ever made on any version of the game. A very enjoyable 4-2-3-1 formation that got the best out of Erling Haaland.

Having a dropbox clean out I found this. It says 140 but there are 800+ practices in here! Too many for me to go through, so I am going to delete it. BUT you guys might want it, if you do download it before I delete the file tomorrow! #FootballTogether
