In FM2018, the 4-4-2 formation is very powerful.
Inverted winger and Carrillero are wonderful chance makers.
ML and MR switch each other.
STL and STR switch each other.
I strongly recommend that you use this against 1 striker tactics.
When you face the teams with 2 strikers tactic, I recommend using my other FM18 tactic: Suk Sam 5-2-3 (3 strikers).
Team training : Balance-average (but adjust 'low' when there are 2 or more matches in one week)
pre-match prep. : Let your assistant handle it.
Individual trainings : adjust them by the injury susceptibility. (as same roll they do)
No OI's
Corner kicks : MCR or MCL
Changelog
v2.0Some tweaks including 'drop deeper' 'offside trap' and individual instructions to reduce goals conceded.
v3.0 (fmf file)
It works very well with 18.1 patch.I tested this with West Brom.

yeap. many users said that.
"523 is wonderful. 442 is not good as previous version."
so, I use 442 v3.0 again. haha
sorry.
I mean you should pick corner kicker with 'Central mid-fielder Right' or 'Central mid-fielder Left'
thx for your work.
it works now in full version. (fmf file)
Can you by the tactic in fmf file to test? I can not open with the tac file.
Thanks
When i download this file and paste it into the tactics folder it doesn't show up in-game when trying to load a tactic, anybody help? the file downloads as a TAC file if that helps
the olny thing that is impefect is the "incontrista" (in Italian) , dunno if is the BWM , that is too aggressive, and often gonna get red card. I change it sometimes with DLP (i think is correct) with defensive work, but with command to go easy on tackle. Also the FB take too much yellow card. But is amazing, your a genius
train them to adapt to ML, MR and let them play at those positions.
usually I play with AML, AMR wingers. and I make them change position to ML and MR
and load it in 'tactic' session by click drop down menu that is just right side of formation panel.
My crewe Alexander save - focusing mainly on youth. I think I have 2-3 playes over 24. came 2nd the first secon (media 22) and in the second season i'm 3rd (media 23) without major signings. Excellent!
ill give that a go later.
ok. thx.

One quick question - how do you remove the switch position instruction you've mentioned for strikers and wingers? I don't want them to do that and cannot see it on the player instructions.
Thanks again for the initial upload.
