My Perfect 4231 with a 90-goal striker

Using what we know about the FM22 Match Engine I wanted to create a 4-2-3-1 which looked to maximise opportunities for the striker through the CMa and the Full-Backs.

Tested with Bayern, Lazio and four teams from the four levels of the English league. I never expected such ridiculous numbers from Lewandowski. Immobile proved it wasn't a fluke and Carlise in League Two massively over-achieved.

The FM22 Tactic

Results

Training

This is so key to your team understanding this tactic.

Weekly Match prep, including teamwork and match tactics are needed to help the players understand what's going on, as well as Match Review after each fixture.

Do this early and throughout the season and you will see the benefits.

For the individual players, train them for the position they are going to play and the tactic will benefit.
