Well since iv been using them both i guess i can say what i think with a story
. My FM 17 save started out with Hungerford untill i took over my current club Charlton i came in when they were 4 points from the drop zone in the championship, so i wanted something fresh untill this Tribute to Zidane tactic got created and that reminded me one of Zyndars FM 16 tactics the
Tribute to Ferenc Puskas So after i took over and using the Zidane i got Charlton away fron the drop zone and finished 16th with 59 points.
Now the real test came in my full season using this tactic and after 2 of my players got sold main one was Ademola Lookman for 13mil, I spent 15mill in total in that season getting players in for the right roles for this Zidane tactic. All i can say this ripped the Championship up and i won it with ease.

Now getting into the Premier League for the first time with a well below average team, I needed to try and get the best players in so after spending a few hours looking for players and upgrading my team again. i finished 6th scoring a lot of goals but also letting a lot in. Second season was just about the same, again more upgrades but finished 8th.
1st season then 2nd season in Premier League

Then Zyndar made the 433. Personally for me the 433 doesn't let a lot of goals in but it still can score the same as the 4231. (This is my experience, and depending what league you are in my opinion). With some cash in the bank i bought some really good players and my team is always young so they are getting better every season. I finished 2nd and winning all cups i could apart from the League Title

To end the story off if your team isn't that good i would say give the 433 ago, I used defence training for match and Att training for general. They are both good tactics, and after iv finished this season off that am doing, depending on what players i can buy i might go back to the 4231.
The main thing you need to do is make sure you get the best players you can with the right roles. 4231 is more attacking than the 433 so if you need that goal if using 433 change to the 4231,
