I'm not using other peoples tactics dude. Everything is my own "invention". And it's supposed to be good at real football, not just the ME. The screenie I posted is a tactic that wasn't designed to do anything special or beat the ME. The support duties are usually the transition or creators players, and they have been given enough width with standard mentality to do their thing effectively without making us leaky. They create, one of the two strikers score. No need to provide width with sidebacks and they are more useful as cover. It is my beleif they shouldnt be asked to do more then defend in a highly structured fluidity, as that is the basics of basics, defenders defend, mids support and strikers attack. And It will fit every team, from the lowest league to the top equally because of it. The formation has players in every important area so gaps that you usualy find in highly structured tactics are eliminated. In fact, it is my beleif that with properly chosen roles and duties and fluidity for a formation, you can play just about anything succesfully with standard mentality. It doesn't even matter if they are restricting you to long shots or not, you aren't ordering them control nor attack. Give it a try.
You talk about this reducing "gaps", but you've selected Very Structured, which further separates Attacking, Support and Defend Duties, so you're creating more gaps than what you close.
You really need width in any formation and the fullbacks are key, but you've left them back, so there's no support from wide. If the middle is clogged, there's no "out" ball available.
The forwards BOTH just charge forward, leaving the midfield behind. They're disconnected and there's very little link play going on.
The AMC is supposed to link, but he'll move forward too late, mostly because of the poor choice of shape. You'd have been better off with the other extreme, Very Fluid. The ideal situation and what actual teams IRL do, is to have a Striker drop off so 1 player should have a Support Duty.
Now of course, this team attacks with only the 2 forwards, so is incredibly one-dimensional. You'll create chances because the focus is on the middle and the defenders will all get rid of the ball ASAP. Teams that attack you or are moderately aggressive, will give up chances against you. You're going to basically hope for a defender to hoof it for the 2 forwards to manufacture something between themselves against 2 or 3.
The real weakness is against teams who will park the bus against you. Your 2 fowards are going to struggle against 6 defensive players and you don't have enough going forward or enough ball retention to do anything about it.
So as far as plug 'n play goes, not great at all.
The basic Defend duties for Defenders, Support for Midfield and Attack for Forwards, is never a good idea.
