Need desperate help from definite relegation - will 3-5-2 tactic save me

[prince0102]

Please help !!! I am in a pickle. I am playing my usual long term save with Crewe with the following conditions - home grown players from Crewe's youth academy only (preferably no transfers).


Now in 2022 i'm finally in premier league but my defenders are poor and mostly championship players. My attackers are good players with great potential but I can't seem to get a single win through the season.

I tried to even break my rule and get a defender but I can't afford a premier league defender salary on my wage structure. Relegation led to all my good attacking players to request transfer or refuse new contracts.

I am going to give up on this save unless someone gives me a savior tactic to try this season again. I am thinking maybe a 3-5-2 to decrease the number of poor defenders on pitch ?

HELP !!!

PS. I don't think having less defenders on will help, its about getting your stronger players (eg. midfielders) to chip in and support the defence​

This is a straight 3-5-2 iv'e had success with over saves with Cardiff, juve and san marino. If you use it let me know if it helps
