I can't even get this tactic running half decent. Was 4th in the league holidaying through. Realised the *** man wasn't set to play it. Changed it and ended up finishing 7th. The tactic was fully fluid with a league one Port Vale.
Seems like you really need the team for success with this and...
Can you provide a bit more detail. I've built the exact same 3-5-2 just with normal wings back to stay a bit more solid. Definitely would like to see your stats and instructions.
