"The best form of defending is attacking" - Roberto Carlos
Firstly, don't mind my grammar. English isn't my native language.
This formation tested on FM 13 version 13.3.3 with Southampton.
Plus:
- GOALS FRENZY
- High ball possession rate (up to 60% - 70% ball possession)
- Terrifying amount of Shots, On Targets, and Clear Cut Chance
- High Pass Completion stats (up to 85%)
Minus:
- A little vulnerable through wide attack, or against team that have world-class winger or wide midfielder. A match could be ended with high score like 5-3, or 4-2 (which is i don't mind, because i'm satisfied enough with win and attempts on attacks)
You can still use this tactic, make some tweaks, or you can use another tactic to prevent this vulnerability. Your call.
- Since this is an attacking formation with high pressure, maybe this tactic doesn't work well with small teams. Let's say it, team like Forest Green, Huddersfield, Doncaster Rovers, Hull City against Manchester City, Chelsea, Barcelona, PSG, etc.
Talk about sense, it's like you launch full-scale attack against bigger bully using plastic spoon. Maybe it'll work better against not-so-far stronger team, same level team, and weaker team.
