334 Inverted Cross 2025-07-29

What can I say... I think it's a pretty good tactic! I managed to win everything in my second year with Benfica, and I’m currently testing it with Academica de Viseu (a small team in Portugal) and already having a lot of success.


This is the only tactic I've consistently used since the yearly CM days – and honestly, it’s the only one I’ve built myself that actually works. So I figured I’d share it with you all.




⚙️ Tactic Breakdown​


📐 Formation​


I use a classic 4-2-3-1 Wide:


  • A solid back four
  • Two midfielders (usually one more defensive and one more creative)
  • An attacking trio behind the striker
  • And a lone striker up top

It’s a shape that gives me balance and plenty of options going forward. My teams play on the front foot, keep possession, and press aggressively.


🔧 Team Style​


Although you can tweak depending on the squad, I typically set up with:


  • An attacking mentality
  • High pressing
  • High defensive line
  • Fast, short-passing build-up
  • Overlapping runs and lots of movement

This helps me dominate games and create tons of chances – whether I’m managing Benfica or a lower-league side.




📅 My Training Setup​


I also use the training schedules you see in the screenshots.


Each week includes a good mix of:


  • Match Preparation (Teamwork, Att. Movement, Def. Shape)
  • Technical Work (Ball Retention, Chance Creation, Transitions)
  • Set Pieces (both defending and attacking)
  • Physical Focus (Quickness, Endurance)

I make sure all outfield players (except the GK) have an additional individual focus on Quickness, to improve acceleration and pace – which is key for pressing and quick transitions.




🏆 Results Speak for Themselves​


  • Clean sweep of trophies in my second season with Benfica

If you’re looking for a tactic that’s balanced, aggressive, and fun to watch, give this one a try. I can’t guarantee it’ll be perfect for everyone, but it’s definitely worked wonders for me.


Let me know if you try it and how it goes!
