I used this tactic as an initial basis, and tweaked it slightly to fit my players. The main inspiration behind using this was to try something a bit different, and to use a libero
In transition I'm hoping the libero will bring the ball up the pitch and look for a key pass, meanwhile the IWBs will come inside to support and provide a short option, and the CAR & BBM will run wide (thanks to PIs) to provide an alternative. I realise setting these to to MEZ instead may suit this better, however I'm worried about making the tactic too defensively unbalanced
when we get to the final third I'm hoping to create an central overload with the 3 attacking players, with the 2 SSs running beyond the PF. I was tempted to go for a F9 instead but figured the PF suited the pressing intensity better
Not sure whether setting the tactic to be a little bit wider and shifting the IWBs to WB-As may have better results...
Other than telling the BBM to stay wider in possession (to give space to the libero) and the BBM and CAR to run wide with the ball I haven't set any other PIs, going to wait to see how the tactic performs in-match and then tweak
Would require a libero with really good passing and mentals, probably a converted midfielder. IWBs would need decent passing and the CAR/BBM need good physicals. The attacking 3 would need good movement, and a high workrate would be ideal to ensure the press up-front
