Football Manager 2026 Tactics - Nagelsmann's 3313

4231 shifts into a 3313 or 3241 in possession. The half back is key.


The right centre back and right back go up in possession as the left defensive midfielder drops back. Overloads in midfield to find the free man.
the Ap and right winger make third man runs.



Keeper distribution varies. Sometimes long, most times short. i would use a highline for club football




World Cup and Nation league win with Germany.



League title win with Mancity and Barcelona

    No problem, I did not change the winger, the inside forward is more direct and scores more. I used Leroy Sane and Leweling in that role. It depends on the performance and if the player is losing the ball.

    Sorry for asking so much but if you play with a playmaking wing back do you change the winger
  • Parisian's avatar
    No, only substitution.
  • dids0906@gmail.com's avatar
    Would you change the left back and left wing in game
  • Parisian's avatar
    Or play them in different in and out of possession position.

    In fm24 the option to swap player position was available,
    For fm 26 you have to manually swap the players at some point in the game. E.g after corners, halftime. Swapping player position improves rating sometimes.

    How'd you get that in game

    Havertz plays as a false 9 for Germany,
    Wirtz and Musiala swapped positions Lw and AM.

    How about wirtz and havertz

    Based on RL , kimmich plays as an IFb
    And the left back is more of a playmaking wingback/ wing back. And the Lcm is a box to box.

    I was thinking more passed on irl
  • Parisian's avatar
    The changes you make depend on the competition and match importance.
    I do not trust the false 9 role and ifb role result wise. Ans the Ifb role defends to narrow
  • dids0906@gmail.com's avatar
    What changes could you add i was think false 9 and ifb maybe a playmaking winger
