Karl Robinson's Salford 3-1-4-2

FM26 3-1-4-2 Tactic | Karl Robinson Style | Salford Test Results!



In this video, I break down one of the most exciting systems in Football Manager 2026 — the 3-1-4-2 tactic created by Lennon Leigh that was inspired by Karl Robinson. If you’re looking for a high-scoring, attacking FM26 tactic, this might be exactly what you need.

I tested this tactic with Salford City to see if it can perform with a lower-league side — and the results were seriously impressive. From dominating possession to creating loads of chances, this system could be one of the best FM26 tactics for overachieving teams.
