Tactics Christmas Tree Back 3 - seems promising

[Burn]

With my defensive back 3 unashamedly inspired by @Tactico and his DOMINANT tactic from FM24, this is work in progress, but posted it up in case it helps someone else build something worthwhile.

 

 

it’s important to note the defenders are NCB set to Player marking, NOT Zonal which is the default.

Edit: forgot to add, dependent on strength of opposition, Attacking and even Overload are viable Team Mentality options.
 

Carabao Cup win, finished 4th in league.

Have you got a screenshot of the league table? Would be good to see goals scored and conceded as well.

Interesting... My famed 3214 seems completely patched in 26😭. Back to the drawing board.. Also is it me or is the narrow shape this year broken?? Can’t seem to work out a compact defensive shape and pressing seems less effective

I found it difficult to score in the prem with this tactic....I even tried the overload mentality but it's the same

 

Also the narrow shape seems ineffective this year
