3-1-3-3 but with two strikwers and one winger how can i work this?

i play 3133 now i will try it with two strikers and one winger, but i want my striker to act like henry used to and drift out wide i have him set to deep lying foward with the thing set to move out to channels, so will he act like a winger/foward.

you should ask in the tactics forum if you want more replies.

personally i think the winger would be better with 'cut inside'

A few other things you might try:

Lower his mentality to somewhere around the halfway mark.

Lower "Runs from Deep."

Roaming "On."

Crosses "Often" from the "Byline."

And don't place any player on the flank that you want him to move into (excepting, possibly, a more defensive wide midfielder or wingback).

Why change his mentality to be less attacking? would my team turn to crap; if i took out my dm and played with a 4 man foward line?

Is it a normal back three (3 DCs) or a wide one (DR-DC-DL)? If it is the latter, then it won't work without the DM and I'm surprised it works with him.

Three reasons off the top of my head:

He'll be more likely to drop into those open channels rather than just getting into the box at every opportunity.

He'll be more likely to feed balls to your main striker rather than snatching at every chance from the awkward, wide angles in which he'll be receiving the ball.

He'll be more likely to close down the fullbacks that will otherwise be causing all kinds of havoc on your flanks.

I think there may be a known ME issue with players moving into / out of the channels. When I say issue its probably not an issue but a future enhancement. try a search.

PS - If your midfield 3 are a narrow 3 then you will be exposed by any team playing wide players with a wide midfield.
