I'm in an attempt to recreate this historical formation in Football Manager 2011, mainly 2 reasons:
1) Herbert Chapman led Arsenal to glory with this tactic
2) The tactic's name matches my initials of my user name
W-M Tactic described:

Main Problems with this tactic:
The gap between the DL/DR and the DC is too big even though I play narrow
The "Magic Square" becomes a triangle
The Defender Cover always gets battered when 2 strikers meet up with him
Minor Problems:
The width of the tactic is yet to confirm
The depth of the defensive line is yet to confirm
The mid 4 isn't passing as much as they can
Extras:
Pitch Size: Minimum
OI: No / *** Man
Touchline shouts: Never bothered
Match Preparation: Defensive Positioning
My idea of the shape of the tactic:
