NEW ARSENAL Strikerless 4-1-3-2-0

As an Arsenal fan, I'm really hyped with all the transfers this year and I wanted to create a tactic for next season. I wanted to imagine a team with Havertz, Declan Rice and Timber.

This is a tactic with no striker and everything happens in the center of the field. In this tactic, everyone on the team will get his chance to shine. If you also enjoy to see your goal and assist numbers divided to everyone on the team, this tactic is for you.

With this tactic, I wanted to create something fresh, interesting and new for everyone. But at the same time, not an unrealistic tactic which can't be used in real life.

Yeah there are "weird" tactics out there with 5 attackers or so but for me, those tactics are "videogame tactics" and has no meaning in real life. But I believe this tactic can be used in real life as well, with right group of players.

Only downside of this tactic, it might not be suitable for a lot of teams, especially if you have a very good striker. For example if you are playing with Man City, when you have Haaland, you can't play with this tactic. But you can do it with Julian Alvarez for example.

Besides Arsenal, I think this tactic could be good for teams like Inter and Real Madrid (after Benzema's departure).

And also, you might be struggle a bit at the beginning. Because no team in the game is familiar a tactic like this. Be patient and the results will come.

As you can see, there are two Inverted Wing Backs and two Inverted Wingers. Finding good Inverted Wing Backs is hard, I know, but if we speak for Arsenal, when you have players like Timber and Zinchenko, this is a no brainer. Ben White and Tierney are doing decent job with this role as well. So you won't need someone else.

For this tactic, you will need a very good Box to Box player. This can be Declan Rice, yes, but I think he is a lot better in Defensive Midfielder position. So I suggest you to bring a good Box to Box player to the team, like Ward-Prowse.

Saka-Martinelli-Odegaard and Havertz are simple choices for their positions. Gabriel Jesus can play Shadow Striker as well but I like to use my players in their natural positions so i suggest to change him in second season.

And final suggestion; get Arda Guler. I think he is an amazing wonderkid and he do an excellent job in the Attacking Midfielder position. When you have him, you can rotate Odegaard with Saka as well.

You can find pictures of my tactic below. With this tactic I win the Premier League in the first season and reach the final in the Champions League (beaten by Real Madrid of course).

Please let me know your experience with this tactic and I hope you will enjoy, as much as I do.

Thank you!
