FM22 Tactic: The Youri 4-2-3-1
Like last year, this tactic is utilizing all the roles I like to use in FM. WB's and IF's. It doesn't feature dramatic changes compared to the FM21 version.Named after my friend from discord, Youri who is from Malta, who is an avid FM fan and has helped test my other tactics and provided me with invaluable feedback while I am working on tactics so this is named in his honour!
The philosophy behind "The Youri" basically is all about outscoring your opponents; you score 2, we score 3!
You can expect to see nice one-touch football players.
Pro Tip: If you're a top team, then switching to a very attacking mentality can bring some great scores. I have had a few 9-0 and 10-1 results by applying that change.

Yes if you come up against a team playing 3/5 at the back i would advise doing this otherwise you can have certain players pressing while others dont which meakes the tactic less effective. Its all about trying to have the team press together.
