Please give me feedback regarding my 4-4-2 assymetric formation

[kostasq]

Hi all.
I have created a tactic that would fit my taste of football.
For example I want to have 4 defenders, plus 2 defensive midfilders(to control the midfield battle) plus wingers, plus an attacking forward to spread the terrot behind the two strikers! Unfortunately as you all understand the sums up to 12!!! players.

For that reason I have created my own system ( I have no screenshot availbale since now I am writing in my job's pc (I am supposed to be working) So
1 GK
1DR (full back-automatic)
1 DRC (limited defender stopper-defend)
1 DLC( ball playing cover)
1 DL (wing back-attack) to cover all the flank

1 DMCR ( deep- playmaker - support)
1 DMCL ( defensive midfielder - defend)
1 AMR (inside forward - attack) but with often in crosses)
1 AMC (attacking midfielder- attack)
1 SCL (deep-lying forward or trequartista-attack) I play him a bit to the left to have some balance due to the lack of a left winger which I sucrificed to have an AMC)
1 SC (Poacher)
I start every game with counter and direct passing.It has created magic for me since I started, and the poacher scores like a machine gun. Crusial players are the DL and the SCL.
Right now I have Aogo (on loan as a DL) and Vagner Love as a SCL playing as a Deep-lying forward. Love is not playing very well so I don't know if it is the role's fault or he is just ****.
Any ideas? Should I play him as a trequartista? I don't want to disrupt the harmony with my poacher however (12 goals at 10 games, 4 with penalties)
Thank you all for any feedback

Is Love Getting ball played to him often or do you allways play ball to poacher ? If he's not getting ball often try to change him to adv. forward so he will support more your poacher when ball is forward. You still have AMC who will be supporting strikers so when playin AMC and deeplying forward they will get to each others way. Hopefully this helped and sorry for bad english :$

Hi Henspa, thanx for your feedback, I altered the formation a bit before I even read your thread. First of all you were right on the Advanced forward for Love and I have switched him to advanced forward attack now.
Also I have moved the forwards in their classic positions SCR and SCL so they will be both inside the area. In that case not to be very crowded in the area I have changed the AMR from inside forward to winger.
To help the poor wing-bak who plays all the flank a bit I have moved the AMC to AMCL. However this tatctic has created magic for me.Since I want to play with Panathinaikos,but Greek leagus is boring ( 8/10 teams are ****) I have put the 4 biggest Greek teams in Italian Serie A, replacing 4 week teams of Serie A (moved them to Serie B, and 4 Serie B teams to the Greek league) Using this formation from the beggining I have 9 wins in 11 games!! Only lost 4-2 by Inter and won 3-1 rome being 0-1 down. However I must admit that I had a pretty easy schedule since I haven't played yet with Lazio, Milan, Juve, and Napoli.(these are my next 4 matches!) but anyway my media prediction was 13 and the expecations were a safe position. Also I play in the Champions League (since Panathinaikos were greek Champions and I have 4/4 win (with an easy group Sevilla,Shakhtar and Bursaspor). I find however the results very convincing. What do you think?

That sounds great, If you can come behind rome and win that big I'd say you just found your tactic and how were those results against lazio , milan , juve and napoli ? And I'm happy if those little adjustments helped you .
