Hi folks, so this is gonna be my first ever post here.
First off let's just say the tactic discussed in this post is strictly just an experiment for a laugh!
Some of the TOP managers in the world in the TOP clubs seem to have a tendency of overloading their midfields:
these clubs are simply STOCKPILING midfield talent (especially attacking-minded breeds)
Chelsea (Benitez, Mou: Mata, Hazard, Oscar, KDB, Schurrle, Moses, Marin, Lampard, Ramires....)
Barcelona (Pep, Tito, Martino: Messi, Neymar, Fabregas, Iniesta, Xavi, Sanchez, Pedro....)
Bayern Munich (Heynckes, Pep: Ribery, Robben, Muller, Kroos, Schweinsteiger, Gotze, Shaqiri...)
Real Madrid (Mou, Ancelotti: Ronaldo, Ozil, Di Maria, Bale, Modric, Isco, Illaramendi...)
Man City (Mancini, Pellegrini: Aguero, Silva, Nasri, Navas, Toure, Rodwell, Milner, Barry, Fernandinho...)
And the saying goes:
If it's worth doing, it's worth OVER-DOING
The 10 Midfielder Tactic
(Plus one keeper)
(unprecedented in the history of football!)
Under the constrains of FM, I can field a maximum of 5 attacking-mids, and 3 center mids.
I'd skip the use of wide mid (MR/ML) simply because almost none of the above players adhere to that position.
Hence the last two men of the team will play as DM.
Looks a bit like this:
Its not designed to be practical, but just to show an extreme case of our obsession of attacking possession football.
I have no idea how this tactic will work, but common sense tells me that a few of the key controls should be:
Fluid style
Attacking
Short Passing
Pressing
Zonal marking
Play offside
Any suggestions on tactics and players to build the best team? (no practical restrictions)

I know that this formation is totally unbalanced and lacks defensive protection.(IF) - (AM) - (T) - (AM) - (IF)

massive hole behind the DM's unless you just played a really deep line and very defensive DM's I guess
