Connor's Attacking 4-1-3-2 Formation.
Hi there- This is my first tactic uploaded onto the Base, so any advice and testing would be appreciated.
This tactic was used in my first season, with Everton. I brang in the additions of Kevin Davies and Christian Benitez in July. And then brang in Rory Delap on the January Transfer Deadline Day. The team finished 5th in the league, but well off 4th place- However, this is above expectation for the Everton team.
The tactic uses attacking Full-Backs- Who are covered from an Anchor Man. The Anchor-Man drops back deep, to cover for the Full-Backs who are making there way back from the attack. In midfield, I used 2 wingers to get the best out of the large pitch. The strikers up front, generally hold a good parternship- I used Beckford as a poacher and Davies as a complete striker for most of the season. Beckford was the PL's 4th top scorer, with 18 goals.
So, I reccomend- A striker who can knock balls down, to a fast striker with pace. Wingers, who can run with the ball and a DM with high tackling skills. Also, your RB/LB should be able to bomb down their respective wings.
The tactic produced some amazing results over time. The team made a slow start to the season, which lead us just above the relegation zone. However, as the team bonded into the tactic, we started winning. Man City, Man United, Arsenal and Spurs were just some of the teams beaten- So make sure you use Match Prep, as early as possible, for the best start. [It could of cost me a top 4 finish]
As for the pitch size- I used the maximum allowed, to create space for the wingers.
The Opposition Instructions, I left down to the assistant manager- But, make any changes during the match, where you see fit.
And for Match Prep- I used Team Blend at the start of the season, before gradually moving into Attacking Movement.

Basically, I'm still unsure about this tactic. Its not a world beater, goals galore, exploit defeater. Its a simple tactic. I've tried it out once, not bad for me. So, any feeback and testing would be appreciated. Also, I've put in some screenies for proof and information.
