Dicko's 4-2-3-1
Hello guys! This is my first tactic ive ever posted on the forums so dont be too harsh =D
Reasons for creating my tactic the way I did
Well it first started when I was using Raikans Perfect 4-3-3 and it inspired me to play a similar type of football to that produced from that tactic. The only problem I had was that like last year and this year, I had and have some quality AMC's (for example Tim Cahill) and wanted to play them in their natural positions just behind the striker where as many 4-3-3 formations dont allow AMCs and rely on 2 center midfielders and a defensive midfielder, so I decided to push up one of the CMs into the attacking midfield position. Also another problem I had was that many of the bog standard 4-2-3-1 formations is that they generally only come with 2 defensive mids or two center mids, and I have Fellaini (who i feel plays better in DM) and Rodwell/Barkley (who i feel plays better in CM) so that is why I chose the to play with a DM, a CM and a AMC.
I have to credit Raikan as this tactic is based on his Perfect 4-3-3 tactic from last year and i have added my own person preferences.
To summarise I felt that my Everton team could have challenged for the title however I had a lot of injuries toward the end of the season which forced me to play players in positions unfamilar to them. Although this tactic did bag me around 2/3 goals a game and I tended not to conceed many goals (Note on the fixtures picture I only started to use my tactic after the 4-3 win over Wolves early in the season) and with a better... well taller defence im sure that the figure of goals will go down dramatically.

My right center back is used for scoring from corners so the taller the better however Jagielka was still just as good!
