Bolton 4411 tactic advise

[rocknrolla1]

Hi lads,

Hope you are all good and enjoying new fm!
Have a quick question regarding my bolton save, looking to play 4411 formation. Would like to play quite a direct, bit quicker football, but not losing too much of possession as well. Below you can see what i came up with. Not too sure about two attacking wingers, so appreciate comments on this one. Anyone has any other tips? Perhaps switching one winger to support duty and same side full back to attack would make more sense? Thank you in advance!

Hi WJ,

Mixed reactions so far really, but more positive than negative that's for sure. Finished pre-season. Looking quite solid against weaker teams, but not that impressive against stronger opponents - struggling to keep hold of possession and creating chances. Also, noticed that my DLP is not effective at all. On the other hand, BBM and both wingers look pretty solid. Not sure whom DLP could be replaced by. Roaming play maker perhaps..? What's more, defenders seem to be playing kind a deepish, so i am thinking of pushing them slightly higher.

Why is your DLP not effective? What are you looking at him to do? Is he not doing that? You ask for advice on it, but give zero information.

If you the defence is too deep, push them up. This is why you should be watching matches and seeing what your issues are.
