Filthy Underdog 4-3-3 | Relegation to Europe

Created by Craig Shaw, he has had success in Serie A and on PVP with Wolfsburg, so it was time it was tested across Europe. I've not seen as contrasting set of results in FM21. However, it is a great tactic for underdog teams.

Make sure you check out the results for FC Twente and Granada.

The Tactic



Check out the video above for all the instructions, the mentality around the tactic and how it works.


Training

This is so key to your team understanding this tactic. Weekly Match prep, including teamwork and match tactics are needed to help the players understand what's going on, as well as Match Review after each fixture. Do this early and throughout the season and you will see the benefits.

For the individual players, train them for the position they are going to play and the tactic will benefit.
