Tactics 2-2-3-1-2 EME

[Gav77]

This is my first tactic posted for the 2018 version. For me, it has worked very well, barring the odd blip. As you can see below, capturing the Bundesliga over Bayern in the first season is no mean feat!

Not really a 2 at the back formation but with the WBs advanced it still performs well defensively.

I have tried alternatives in the striking roles, depending on the players at your disposal. AF-P will also provide results with the P getting the lion's share of the goals. For Dortmund, and Isak, AF-CF seems to work better with Isak as CF. And as like the AF-P, the CF will score the most of your goals

And if you are feeling really adventurous, you can use BPDs in place of the CDs but I have found, at least from the start that CDs provide a good level of defensive stability. Playing BPDs can lead to high scoring matches.

I've not really got my head around the effect of changing the shape settings yet, so with more testing it could yield greater results.

Not a great high scoring league campaign but it did result in a League-Champions League double in my first season here and the 2 top league goal scorers ,

I'm currently in my second season and Isak has 19 goals in 18 games.

 

I have used this tactic with PSG and it was electric with Neymar and MBappe up front (who wouldn't be though!).

Word of warning: For some reason, every now and again it comes back with "Players confused by unusual formation" which results in a terrible performance. Not really figured out why it does this and how to avoid it.

Please have a go and let me know how you get on.
