Football Manager 2026 Tactics - Elmskov's 4-4-2 Christmas Tree
With the holiday season approaching, I decided to create a 4-4-2 diamond formation designed to resemble a Christmas tree.

To my surprise, it performed exceptionally well. In my first season with Norwich, I made only minimal additions to the squad, yet the tactic proved strong enough to secure the Championship title.

Additionally, the team reached the FA Cup semi-finals, achieving impressive victories over Premier League sides such as Everton and Liverpool along the way.

    Nice, I really enjoyed your previous 4-4-2 tactic. I will try this later on, feels a bit weird though to be playing without wingers.
