I like using the 4-2-3-1

Antec · 10-11-2011, 12:43 AM

I use the 3-5-2 with Tottenham. I moved the 5th midfielder way up and evened up the other midfielders to turn it into more of a 3-4-3. I like 1 striker with good strength and the rest of my midfield and attack to be quick guys with good ball handling and short passing. With having only 3 defenders they are going to need speed on the outside. I have a great tackler in the middle, then 2 fast defenders on the outside; one of which is actually a converted defensive minded midfielder.

I work it down with short passing and dribbling until I work it down to the attacking area. I can't cross well so I work it between my 3 strikers until an opportunity presents itself occasionally working in my 2 wing players or the 2 saftey valves behind when they put the pressure on. I can basically trust everyone on my team to control the ball around defenders except Rooney who basically just shoots or passes quickly while the other guys control the ball most of the match.

It works for me and is fun.

I am probably the only one that plays this way, but I love the good old 5-4-1. Nothing better than clogging up the middle. Finally finding the offensive rhythm to make it work, it just needs a lot of long passes to set it up.

I man-marked Goetze, playing as RAM, with my LDM when I played Dortmund. He did very little, but it did leave some open space in the middle. Some poor & panicky lunging tackles near the top of the box killed me; lost 2-1. Although, considering I lost 5-0 to Bayern Munich in a kick-off match with the same settings, I guess that's an improvement.

I use a modified 4-2-3-1
CB CB
LWB CDM RWB
CM
CAM RAM
LW
CF

The LW basically kills the weakness of the 4231 being vulnerable outwide for me while the CAM and RAM go up the middle. While the CF is the main assist man for the CAM and RAM.
