Personally, I played them like this.





ARSENAL 4231
- A TOP TEAM TACTIC





Disclaimer: This is in no way emulation.

here, we will find not 2 or 3 but 4 approaches. The key is to see if your players are finding space thatthey can exploit or of they have to create it them selfes, if the players need to sit deeper and counter or if you have to push up and gain control by hassle the opponent

Also suited for

Man City. Liverpool. Chelsea, Spurs, Man UTD





1st strategy: Attacking Possession


Although this is the main approach, you will probably need the other ones just as much. Perhaps not as Man U in your 4th​ season in the league but as Spurs in the CL, you need to be more cautious then this. Here, we play a fluid control based approach and let our wingers provide lots of width and we hassle the opponent and at the same time we try to keep possession when getting back the ball

If you have complete wingers, use them as Defensive wingers. If they are weak but really pacey , the use them as Wingers


Extra Shout: Against team sitting really deep, with lots of players behind the ball,its important that the runs from deep dont come too early from the advanced players in th wide postions, creating too many gaps between our stratas Here, I always include

from the start

2nd​ Strategy: Direct Counter


Here, we play on the counter, getting the ball forward. Unlike in the first approach, we use inside forwards instead of wingers, a poacher instead of a complete FC and a TQ instead of an AMC, all with the purpose of making the AMR/L able to find space inside. This approach is mainly used against teams that do provide us with some space to exploit, like most middle teams do at their home ground when they try to attack.

3rd​ Strategy Cool it man!!

A way to cool things down without sitting too deep. This is an approach I rather like when wanting to see out a 3-0 result and I don’t want to score more at the cost of risking conceding

4th​ Strategy Cautious Counter

Here, we are playing much more cautious, perhaps an approach that will mainly be used away to really good teams or when wanting to grind out a result

4-2-3-1 suits Arsenal. Otherwise, a 4-5-1 (with DM) would also fit (Song as DM). You could also play 4-2-2-2 but then you'd need Chamakh as target man, and I actually don't like Chamakh, he's too slow. I don't like the TM role actually.

Seems like me and Yago are finding all of your threads at the minute Blatchford!

I didn't want to go with the usual Arsenal 4-2-3-1, so I play 4-2-2-2, but don't use the target man usually. Trequartista and Poacher up front most of the time (i.e. When everyone's fit), sometimes change the Poacher to TM if Chamakh is in.
Definitely make use of the Wingers as much as possible though. Amazingly, Benayoun is performing brilliantly for me out wide, gets goals too! Along with Theo, Gervinho, Arshavin and Oxlade-Chamerlain coming through, you've got a bit selection to play with.
And get Ramsey and Wilshere (when he's fit) in the team as much as you can, will really help to boost their stats.
