best 4231 tactic that works in 14.3.1 patch

Hello

I've been trying to run something similar for quite some time now, I've read through this post and have one question for you, are or have you at any point during this save been reloading the game when you've lost?

I ask this, because I have managed to achieve similar stats to yourself in the league, but only by struggling through and overloading a lot of games to grind out a draw. I ask this not to try and show you up, but to understand where I'm going wrong because our tactics (and I play with Arsenal also) are very similar and I'm trying to iron out any kinks. etc.

I've tried variations of instructions and still get cheated by the AI quite a lot.

Anyway look forward to your response.

I never reload games, ive actually suprised myself with the consistency im getting, do u use player instructions e.g. ive told my wingers to stay wide and AP to try more risky passes?

Yeah I loaded up your tactic and opened up the hood as it were.

I was running pretty much the suggestion off the pairs and combos article on si forums.

This had a IF S on the left with Wb A, bwm d and dlp s in mid with a Winger A and Fb S on the right.

Standard CB, Gk and Adv plmkr S behind an AF. Control balanced, short passing, work ball, play out of defence and more expressive. individual instructions was - distribute to defend on GK, roam on the adv plymkr and sits narrow on the IF.

Now I wond the epl, got beat by Bayern in the champions league in the first season, it was hard fought and as stated I had to grind out a lot of results.

My mine gripe was the two cm's just did nothing at all, no assists - no goals. So i've been on a mission to fix that aspect of the tactic.

Anyway, I downloaded yours and tried tweaking mine, ie - the more direct passes on Ozil and I played only a few games, but he seemed to be spamming balls forward stupidly.

You just hear so much conflicting advice, I really struggle. Thanks for your reply, I might try running with two winger supports instead of the asymmetric attack.

Has a matter of interest what is your experience with the cm's in the tactic???

Also, having just played half a season, I've noticed that both neither fullback as an assist or goal. Is this the case for you on the fb's and cm's?

My CMs are designed to protect the back 4 and to link the defence with the midfield therefore they rarely score, my fbs are designed to get 2 to the final 3rd and pass it to the winger and then get back.
