“On a previous patch I made a 361 that was based on an oldskool style that played elegant football which looked to incorporate world-class players all over the pitch. It consisted of 3 CBs’, 2 Regista, 2 Treqs, 2 Wingers and a Poacher. No full-backs were involved. It was my favourite system to watch.”
I recently had the urge to try and make this system work on the latest patch. After some tinkering I’ve got it to a level I’m happy with, and so I thought I’d share this one here.
Below is a link to my OP which is of a greater length. But here I’ll condense the details of this system.

The Aim
The system is designed to incorporate my favourite footballers from my favourite decade and is one which came directly from the vision in my head, and so it reflects exactly how I like my football to be played.
I will emphasise now it’s only designed for world-class players as the roles chosen only allows for the very best players on the planet.
The Vision – Team RED / My Fav XI / 95-05
My retired but extremely dangerous team in their prime was full of flair, elegance, and sheer genius. It's my kinda team and I would have loved to watch this team play together.
Schmeichel (SK-D)
Puyol(BPD-D) Cannavaro(CD-D) Maldini(BPD-D)
Beckham(RGA-S) Pirlo(RGA-S)
Figo(WG-A) Nedved(WG-A)
Ronaldinho(Treq-A) Zidane(Treq-A)
Ronaldo de Lima (The Real) (P-A)
You can see the talent I wanted to work with in this tactic. It brings the flair and elegance of a bunch of Ballon Dor winners onto the pitch. I do miss those European nights!
They won’t be able to play a high intense game, but controlling the game with their off the ball movement, passing precision, individual skill and creativity to open up the opposition back-line.
How it works
A very high defensive line, counter-pressing and very line of engagement to try and win the ball back as quickly as possible, of which we will then look to stamp our control onto the game.
The attacking roles of the trequartista and wingers will bring the creativity and direct attacking threat from the flanks. A poacher in the box will look to remain central and convert the chances these players will make.
The registas will be tasked to control the game, but also provide the form of counter-attack purely from their vision and passing ability.
Problems
As a system, immediately if your team isn’t good enough those sides that park the bus will have a field day counter-attacking, especially playing with no full-backs. Teams that gegenpress will also cause problems and will increase the chances of having an off footballing-day.
The roles chosen are very individualistic. So again if you’re looking for a team structure that has roles complementing each other to cause the opponents problems or have a real solid defensive structure, these roles simply don’t allow.
What this system does allow, is for a team of world-class players that have no defensive mindset to them. Their individual footballing brilliance is what can turn a match around in an instant. Balanced systems don’t have this.
So you need to understand the systems’ limitations, and know the type of quality players needed. But once you have assembled such a side, the football really is a pleasure to watch.
Clips of what you’ll be watching
These were taken from previous patches, but they give glimpses of the vision I had in mind.

19.3.4 Results - Juventus
I haven’t tested it in the Premiership. Partly because there’s no immediate team suitable, plus this is a system that is definitely better designed for leagues like Italy or Spain.
With that said, I did win the ECL with this Juventus team in the first season. We beat Man City in a tight affair in the final. I had Rafinha as a Trequartista for the first half of the season until I was able to bring Asenjo. So 97 points in the circumstances wasn’t a bad tally.
Training / OIs
FM Touch – “Possession”
Set Pieces – Trequartistas set to take. All played short to promote possession
OIs –
DR/WBR – Show onto left foot
DL/WBL – Show onto right foot
The aim being our wingers pressing the full-backs high will force them into zones the Trequartistas will be operating high up on the pitch and thus will help bring a more effective counter-press.
--
So this is an eccentric system purely for those whom appreciate football in the decade and the players I loved during that time, and for those who want to watch controlled and visually creative football.
I love how it works and plays. It’s by no means a game-beater, but at least for me it brings back the times where my favourite footballing memories lay. Hopefully there will be a few out there that appreciate the style.
Hope you enjoy!
