My drunk 4-2-2-2 formation at Man Utd is SOMEHOW AWESOME!?!?!.....

[Harris4Ips]

I started the season with a 4-2-3-1 and absolutely smashed preseason. The first few games of the season were wins but narrowly.
Then i decided to mess around with a few positions just to see what would happen.
Expecting to get hammered, i ended up finding and making myself a great new tactic which scores plenty of goals, keeps clean sheets and dominates possession....

Im closing in on my first season as Man Utd and currently 6 pts clear at top of league with a game hand after match 27.

My one concern with this tactic is how to play the striker???

Although i score plenty of goals the strikers are always inconsistent as i keep tweaking the instruction between poacher, advanced forward and complete forward

Wasnt the most spectacular season i guess....
Won the Champions Shield, League cup and League.
Only knocked out of fa cup because i played too many youth players and knocked out of champions league because of loads of injuries and fitness!
