Eye-catching creative underlapping football even when underdogs...
3 tactics to switch between; 3-4-3 Overload, 5-3-2 Underdog & 4-3-3 Tiki-Taka.
I'm currently in my 10th season with a custom create-a-club and have gone from Vanarama South to challenging for the Champions League despite having a team and wage budget worthy of relegation. I was really keen to have 3 different formations to pick between and to try and make a quality 5-at-the-back formation that was as effective as my regular 4-3-3. After lots of tweaking through the seasons and updates I'm now really happy with how the team is playing, especially since implementing more underlapping, which has worked especially well with the attacking wingbacks.
Personally I use the 3-4-3 for games I expect to dominate, 4-3-3 against any teams using an AM(C) & against 4-4-2s and 5-3-2 against anyone else.
Late in games if fatigued or facing an aggressive attacking opponent I might drop a MC or AM back into DM to shore up the defence, however will always keep the mentality attacking or positive, even if playing superior opposition.
