Help with 4-1-2-1-2

Hello quick qestion about this formation and roles. If i am playing 2 striker along with an AMC who is set to attack, do i need to have one of my strikers Supporting or Both strikers on Attack role?:o

its up to you. whatever you think suits your players better

you might get more help in the tactics forum

It entirely depends on your players and how you set your overall team up. I have both forwards on attack, but then, most of my team are on attack mode too, I like to score goals!! I have a target man, an advanced forward, then behind them a trequartista...

Play it one of these ways:

1) Both strikers as advanced attacking (or 1 a poacher) and the AMC as support role probably advanced playmaker depending on his attributes.

2) Play 1 striker advanced/attackm the other deep lying support, and the AMC as an attacker probably inside forward would be best but he needs ot be a goal scorer opposed to a playmaker for this method to work.

My team played excellent football with this.

Sweeper Keeper - Defend

FBR - Full Back - Support

FBL - Full Back - Support

CBR - Central Defender - Cover

CBL - Central Defender - Cover

DMC - Defensive Midfielder - Support

MCR - Central Midfielder - Attack

MCL - Central Midfielder - Support

AMC - Advanced Playmaker - Support

STR - Complete - Support

STL - Complete - Support

Played excellent football.

A lot of free roles, short passing and creative freedom.

I have a target man, set to attack, an advanced forward set to attack, as well as a trequartista (AMC) set to attack, and my offense has been brilliant.

It depends on the quality of your team obviously. If you are Barcelona then no problem, but if you are a poor team in your league then you will struggle since with three committed attackers, and a lack of quality elsewhere, you could get overrun.
