Anyone have a good 3-4-3 tactic?

Could really use one. Not too sure how to design my own and the original template won't be sufficient.

Even if nobody has one, suggestions on how to design one wouldn't go a miss.

I know that with the Strikers there should essentially be One attacking forward in the centre with two defensive supporting forwards next to him, but not sure how to develop it for My midfield and defense.

Central midfield has to include at least on MCd (at least!) or the back three will be very exposed. The other central midfielder might benefit from playing just slightly less adventurously than you'd otherwise set an MCa - if he pushes on too far he's not going to link up play too well and leave you with a gap between MCd and STd which will mean lots of wasted, punted balls from your MCd and defence.

The wingers are a tough one. I'd consider setting them to wingback type instructions (which is what they essentially are) rather than winger instructions and mentality.

Back three are usually two man markers (traditional DC instructions) and an advanced sweeper in the centre.

3-4-3 can be made to work, but you need excellent players for the level - especially on the wings. Capello's Roma played 3-4-1-2 for a while (the wingers were really wingbacks). He worked it so that there was a 'playmaker' in that AM slot, while the central midfield worked very much like a 4-4-2's central pairing. His defensive version of the formation was actually a 5-3-2 with the wingers and AM dropping back. In attack, the middle central defender would step up to roughly the same line as the MCd, if not push on further to create an extra man in midfield. Huge downside to this formation and approach is that a team playing direct football will pin your wingbacks in their own half so you don't create any width (at best) and that the playmaker becomes a critical player. Having two strikers dropping deep into the AM position will help with the latter problem but it will also mean you lose width up front unless you have a fair bit of pace.
