Playing with a back 3 (no wing backs)

[jordyoffy]

It seems SI have fixed using a back 3. So far I've had success so far using the direct 3-4-3 that Napoli use, with San Marino. And the controlling 3-5-2 the Juve use, with Cardiff.

Anyway, I may be wrong but it looks like no ones uploaded any proper back 3 tactics yet so i was wondering if anyone would be interested in the tactic that brought these results (both with newly promoted clubs) :

Also whats everyone else's experiences playing with a back 3?

I have been getting really good results and a nice flow of the game using various 352 formations. I am really exited that it has finally been sorted out

Here is one of my approaches

The results look good but what i meant by SI fixing it is that we no longer need to play a defensive looking midfield for a back three to be effective.

also, from what you've seen on your thread, would you say people rather tactics in classic mode or the default way? because Im thinking of uploading mine

Yeah, although the MR/L in a 3DC tactic was broken in FM12 to so it's a step forward in so many ways.
I would make it using the TC. This way those playing FMC can benefit from it aswell
