Football Manager 2019 Tactics - 4-2-3-1 ATTACK 2.0  for FM19 by ZION
The 4-2-3-1 is one of the most used tactics of all time in my opinion in Football Manager.

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

    hello everyone actually I found that there is a big problem pressing already when the game begins we see all the players go the same side and then in the defensive phase each time my two central defender go to the same players and suddenly loses a large gap in defense
  • ZION's avatar
    i'm checking also the forum of sport interactive and other community, since new patch ,there is something wrong with the pressing, all the defenders go against opponent together, and this create big problem on defense. for now the best thing to do is to reduce pressing, and at the voice IN TRANSITION put only COUNTER, if you have problem also like this , put in WHEN YOU LOSE POSSES, the instruction to come back.

    Nevermind, I see below that someone has noticed the swapping thing...
  • ZION's avatar
    i checked the defense, problem, i yhink should be some problem with offside trap, first i put the defense line lower, and it work better, now i m checking what happn without offside trap. culd be a sort of game issues

    hello, i can't find how to stop wingers to swap their positions too, can you tell which option is to turn it off for testing? thanks in advance :)
  • ZION's avatar
    anyway i want to remeber a thing to everyone, ADAPT YOUR TEAM TO THE TACT.
    for example i have two left wings, so i put AML wing and AMR inside forward, but if i had two right footed wing, i should invert roles , obviusly.
    that is for every roles. you CAN CHANGE the roles of the players and maybe some of their personal duty, what is important is follow the general rules of the tact like IN POSSESSION, IN TRANSITION, OUT OF POSSESSION. every player have is own traits, that you should follow. for me this is the best tact for having fun, so i buy and adapt players that are growing for that roles. if you have dunno, ICARDI, or POGBA or some other grown and strong player, is always better make the best for that players.

    anyway, if your players have not good passes skills, try to change it with a ball playing defender and one as central defender. also remeber to teach your players all that skills that imrpove the defense, like marks opponent tightly, stays back all the tim, avoid use weak foot, plays short simples. also my WB have marks opp tightly to avoid escapes from opponent wings.

    hi guys had a little probelm in the last days so didnt play didnt check the update changes. i ll check it soon. thx for advice and continuos checks
  • OohAhCantona's avatar
    Have to agree with @bogasneverwasfmed, I get killed by passes over the middle and my defenders tend to be standing around doing nothing. Lots of free runs / killer through passes, usually this is how I concede goals.

    Maybe patch changed something, but my stellar defensive record has been shattered. I switch up tactics too, I don't just use the same one every gave.
  • bogasneverwasfmed's avatar
    zion, i concede lot of goals through passes on my defenders back, what is your advise?
  • davimarfer's avatar
    and if you play with two IF?
  • Stef88's avatar
    How to stop wing rotating? I cant find :@
  • ZION's avatar
    pixter maybe put the command on the players to make a larger game. i like to play on the mid.
  • ZION's avatar
    meinos instruction on opponent i choose it depending by the match
  • ZION's avatar
    oohahcantona, not too much
  • ZION's avatar
    devimarfer my bad forgot to write it, anyway you can change it on the players
  • ZION's avatar
    Ryukon then put ease tackle when you have not the ball
  • davimarfer's avatar
    because the wings are changing bands?
  • OohAhCantona's avatar
    What exactly changed from Version 1.0?
  • fnx's avatar
    Hello,

    Thanks for the share,

    However, while using this tactic, i'm taking a lot of goals by long passes behind my defensive line, would you recommend to adjust it lower ?

    Also, I'm playing Avranches (national starting team), and that's my second season in Ligue 1 (finished 5th last season with another tactic on my own). Would you recommend it to a lower team ? And if yes, would you say to put a defensive mentality ?
  • mienos's avatar
    One question: how do you set the instructions on the opponents?
  • pixter91's avatar
    Tactic is so far amazing, i am playing 5th season with Liverpool, won 3 out of 4 Champion League and 3 out of 4 Premier League, only problem i am facing with is that my middlefielders are shooting like 6+ times per match both of cm(so like 12+ shots ) and my Forward is shooting like 3-4 time max.. and Alexander Arnold is so beast in this formation(overall probably best player in game so far) with 20+ assists and 10ish goals at right back..

    My squad is atm: Allison- AlexanderArnold, Dijk, Gomez, Robertson(tierney) -GedsonFernandes, Keita - Mbappe, Chakvetadze, Sancho/Woodburn(Marin from Dinamo) - Pellegri
  • Ryukon's avatar
    thanks for the tactic, so far it works really well for me.
    One problem though, im getting between 4-8 yellow cards every game, often players are sent off. Is there any way to prevent this? Mostly the Center Backs and the BWM.
    I stopped giving tasks but just helps a little bit
