Absolute beast of a tactic, so much fun to play with, deserves much more attention. Yes, you will concede bucketloads of goals, but you will score so many more.
I am in my second season with Wolves. Destroyed the Championship in my first season, I am currently 2nd in the Premier League after 30 games played.
Scored 96 in the league so far (conceded 41).
My centre-forward, Leo Bonatini, is currently on 41 goals in 32 games (all competitions). This guy is a three star striker through and through. I can only imagine the utter devastation the likes of Dybala, Aubameyang or M. Salah would create in this role.
Finished 3rd in the end after a very tricky run in. But still, what a first season in the Premier League!
Board gave me £68m to spend, and I reluctantly let Ruben Neves disappear to Barcelona for a tidy £78m. Managed to strengthen just about every area of the squad over the summer with Joe Hart, Benjamin Pavard, Joel Veltman, Lewis Cook, Danny Drinkwater, Alberto Moreno, and Serge Gnabry coming in, amongst others.
However, Season 3 starts, and the tactic has stopped working. I mean stopped
dead. It's like watching a different side playing a different game. In my first six league games last season, we scored 20 goals. This time around, after six league games, we have scored 3 times, none of which have come from my front 3. Despite all the new faces, tactical familiarity is still extremely high, and morale has generally been very high as well (although obviously that is starting to slide).
I think unfortunately the match engine has decided that enough is enough, and therefore the entire footballing world have, in the blink of any eye, collectively learned how to completely nullify a phenomenally successful side and tactic. I'm all for realism in FM, I know sides get 'sussed out' in real life, but this is far too extreme and just feels completely unrealistic.
