We had these positions

1 Gk
2 DC
1 DR/DL
2 ML/AML
3 DMC/MC
1 ST

That sounds like one of the modern variants of a 4-5-1. We could do a 4-2-3-1 with two DMCs.

Our three loanees are on first team or key players and are these positions:

AMC
AMRL
DL

Makes sense

Now I don’t like our fullback much and our other good one is a loaner.

Am I looking to go to my 3-5-2 again? Or the 3-1-2-1-2 rather?

I take a look at the rest of the league –

4231 – 7
4-3-2-1 - 2
4-4-2 – 4
4-4-2 Diamond with two middle sin the middle rather than on the wings - 3
3-4-3 – 2 (It’s more of a 3-4-2-1 with the normal strikers split out wide in AM roles)
4-2-2-2 – 1 (With two DMCs instead of MCs)

They tell me that they used the 4-2-3-1 last year and it didn’t work well.

What do I want to do?

They have 7 teams out of 20 with two forwards which feels a bit high in today’s game.

So what about me?

Let’s look at two tactics.

My 3-1-2-1-2

I would start these:

Gk Costil

DC Holding, Isimat – need 3rd DC
DMC Otavio
MC Lerager OR Natcho
ML Mehmedi
MR - ???
AMC - ???
ST - ???

In this role I need a DC, AMC, MR, and two STs

What if I did a 4-2-3-1?

GK Costil
DC Holding, Isimat
DR ???
DL ???
MC Otavio and Lerager or Natcho
AML Mehmedi
AMR ???
AMC ???
ST ???

I would need DR, DL, AMR, AMC, and ST.

I need five players each way.

I commit to my 3-5-2 variant. I head over to tactics
