The big flaw is related to the spasmodic use of the wings, which makes the game monotonous, but thanks to this tactic, you will be able to express a fast game that is based on the wings, but will give great satisfaction, especially when the team will have started to become more familiar with the tactic.
this is my actual team:
As you can see (sorry i take a pic only at the end of the season) my players are all wonderkinds, and not even at the top of the evolution or experience.
Very lucky to have Corbo in Bologna that is possibly one of the best def wonderkid in the game.
Here you can see the results I have achieved using 4-2-3-1 ALL YEAR LONG, ALL THE SEASON, never changed module, at my second year with BOLOGNA FC.
I won against PSG (great match) and i lose against Liverpool, but with this team in evolution is yet a big thing!!
and this is the final position in serie A:
As you can see, i win with distance from the second.
These are the characteristics of the roles:
GK: sweeper keeper / attack, short passing
DCL / DCR .: Ball playing defend / defend, standard pressing, mark tighter, ease off tackles, dribble less, shoot less often.
DL / DR: Complete wing back /, support, standard pressing, mark tighter, ease off tackles, take more risk, more direct passage
MCR: Ball winning midfielder / defend, short passage
MCL: Box to Box midfielder / support, ease off tackles, shorter passage
AML: Winger / support, more direct passage, take more risk, ease on tackle
AMR: Inside forward / support, sit narrower, get further forward, more direct passing, ease on tackle
AMC: Attacking midfielder/attack, Hold up ball, shorter passing, take more risk, ease on tackle
STC: Pressing forward / attack, shorter passing, take more risk
IF THE TEAM IS TACKING TOO MANY CARDS, GO TO TACTICS - OUT OF POSSESSION - and change from GET STUCK IN to STAY ON FEET, or NOTHING!!!. But you ll see that the intensity of tact will go down.
SO Not big changes, except, for more ease on tackle on everyone, was tacking too many yellows cards, and the AMC is offensive now.
IMPORTANT!!!! The roles of the wings can be reversed depending on your players. ALSO I MADE MY WINGS SWAP; here you can see how to change the swap option
Training:
The workouts I follow them, I do not disappoint, my players, here is an example:
the training is very easy. just remeber to check your players, you ll see that sometimes they say that the training lacks in something ( defend, attack, ecc)
so you have to start that training. the most important thing is every week put "TEAM BONDING", and evrything that need to pump up match cohesion. speak once at moth to your players to make them play or train better.
BEFORE THE MATCH:
i use to give these Tasks to the player with all the opponents before the match:
is very important to pressing and marking, dont like to take too many scores. JUST BE VERY CAREFUL, cause sometimes with some lower level teams dont need to put all these marks, and put too many of contrast can make your team take a lot of yellow cards.
So far it's all, various improvements will be made over time, I'm open to suggestions or feedback!
Good FM everyone

Great tactics, i just add instruction to tackle the opposition winger
Ok, I'll say more: amazing tactic. Allowed me to finish 2nd with Marseille and win Europa League (and reach both cup's finals) in first season. My lack of players sometimes cost me, and also a few points lost before using the tactic.
Which one is right? Cause it's a quite different tactical role !
playing a low 2.div norwegian team. so far unbeaten.
i now tried this tactic with Marseille and Brøndby, but I found that I get a lot goals against me. special in away games. I get a lot of chance but the goals doesn't come, tried to tweek the tactic but no luck
I'm managing newly promoted Wolves and after 9 premier league games I'm undefeated and in 1st. (8-1-0)
Hopefully we can carry on performing well with this tactic.
cant answer for all, happy to know thta for big part of you tact work weel. for everyone who take too many red cards, change aggressive tackle, and remember that you can change the roles of your players, without problem, you can change everything you want, you can experiment
i use this tactic with 1. FC Kaiserslautern ! 1st season 3rd league winner - 2nd season 2nd league winner , 3rd season rank2 in the bundesliga and dfb pokal winner, now im season 4 and playing champions league. The only changes i did was pressing defensiv line to costum and offsidetrap off. pressing forward to complete forward. attacking mode only at home or vs worse enemys.
Very nice tactic. Thx a lot !
How do i change so the Wingers dont switch position during the games?
And also i changed so the Left Winger is IF and the right players is a regular winger, does these things matter? I also only have one Ball playing defender that suits my team (everton) The other defender is Zouma and he has 10 in passing, surely he cant play BPD?. And did some minor tweaks aswell, can these changes affect the tactic in a bad way?
Just one problem though-- I have Diego Forlan as my striker who does not fit into the role of a pressing forward (as the colour of the system display), his best role appears to be either a poacher or a deep lying forward, would you say I should stick to having him as a pressing forward or do I let him play the role that he prefers?
Hence, would u say its wise to amend the crossing from mixed crossing to a lower crossing and Forlan does not seem to be a particular great header.
thanks!
I must have played through at least a dozen games, using different tactics and making tweaks here and there, and it seemed like the game had decided I wasn't going to walk out with a win no matter what i did. Half the games featured red cards for my team, all of them a loss, and the other half were draws where Origi just walked through my back line and scored in the last 5-10 minutes of the game.
