Football Manager 2018 Tactics - FM18 Tactic: 2-3-2-3 is the Future!
Tinkered about with this idea and finally got it nailed. Scores lot's of goals and very tight at the back.

The formation works by utilising triangles all over the pitch.

Each centreback has a triangle with the CWB and DM. The DM has triangles with the 2 central midfielders.

The Mezzala and Carrilero give good coverage across the pitch and also join the attacks, getting beyond the F9.

The CWB's also block off a lot of space for the opposition wide men and also under and overlap with the IF's.

The IF's cut inside and link with the F9 to good effect.

Typical good players across the pitch will have pace, passing, crossing and creativity.

I have found using players in 2's and 3's together to strengthen their 'bond' - Green line. has big impact on the performance so I try to rotate them accordingly.







OI's: Assistant
Team-talks: Assistant
Set pieces: included in tactic
Use encourage during games, unless behind then use demand more.






Not yet tried with Lower ability teams but certainly punched above my weight as Liverpool.

    "Despite being leading contenders to win Champions League...", for God sake, how have you been leading contender in your 1st season with adding only Delle Ali from Tottenham. As an addition, average rating from Salah is adding much curiosity in all this and I frankly believe that you have used editor.

    This tactic worked wonders for me for the first half of the season. Playing with Wolves, I was dominating the table and I managed to win the Carabao cup in February. Since then though, I've been on a streak of six league games without a win. My team stats are still alright, but it seems as if the AI has figured out how to break through my defense. I even lost to the 23rd placed team at home. Is there any way to counteract this?

    I tried with my SL Benfica, and i'm addicted.
    Jonas scores a lot of goals, Seferovic when plays too.
    Only conceded 0 or 1 goal at maximum per game.
    In CL 5-0 against CSKA (home) and 0-0 against Besiktas (away).
    My players are still not trained in the ideal tasks, when they are trained I believe that I will still have better results.

    Nice job, THANKS!

    Interesting tactic. I'm giving this a try as I'm also playing as Liverpool. First game we drew against Watford 1-1, but we should have won (missed penalty kick and had 24 shots to Watford's 6). I'll keep giving this a go.
