I started work on this tactic looking to emulate the style of play that Unai Emery has brought to Arsenal this season.
What started as a basic 4-3-3 has evolved into a strong possession based attacking Tactic with a fairly solid defensive side too.
I have played through 2 seasons so far with the core of my team being the current Arsenal squad, I have strengthened my defence with Benjamin Pavard who is the only non current squad player that is regularly used.

Keeper - Bernd Leno playing in a sweeper role is my main keeper now although had a long injury spell and Petr Cech was an adequate standin.
Defence
CB(R) Pavard
CB(L) Sokratis
Roles for CB i set individually depending on their strongest role
backup CB's Kosceilny and Holding
WB(L) Kolasinac
backup Gian-Luca Itter from Wolfsburg @ £32m very good standin for Kolasinac fit the role a lot better than Monreal
WB(R) Bellarin
struggled getting a good backup for Bellarin ended up using Frederic Chiesa who is a winger in the role but his athletism seems to make up for his defensive frailties.
Midfield
In midfield I use 3 Deep lying playmakers.
DM - Torriera
CM(L) Xhaka
CM(R) Guendouzi
Backups - Maitland-Niles can play any of these roles comfortably
Ramsey Strong in both the CM positions.
Mkhitaryan fits into the CM positions and performs well
Attack
AM - Ozil as an Advanced Playmaker
backups Ramsey and Mkhitaryan
I then have 2 Attacking Forwards in Aubameyang and Lacazette
seem to play better with Aubu on the left.
backup strikers I have used Welbeck, Nketiah and a strong Regen that came through in my second season.
Using this tactic I have played through 2 seasons winning the Premier League twice, the second season unbeaten.
I have also won the Europa League and Champions League, European Supercup and Carabaou Cup.
I look forwards to any feedback and am interested to see what people think and how my tactic performs for them.
