EnigMattic1 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 In the formation below, how would be best to set up the 2x DM and the sole CM? I am aware that the Volante is a runner so I will need someone back to defend (which is why it is currently set as a Half Back), but what role would be best for the solitary CM? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusadertsar Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) @EnigMattic1There's not much midfield penetration right now. Why not use CM(a) in middle? Other than that it looks good. Volante and Half back are a great combo (but so is anchor man and Volante - my favourite role combo actually) should offer more than enough stability. It actually looks a lot like how my Ajax is playing right now. Sort of my interpretation of their Champions League tactic from 2018-19 season. A 4-3-3 that is really a 4-2-3-1. With Tadic as False9 and Van Beek as quasi Shadow Striker - CM (a) behind him. How is it working for you?

I believe it's possible. And maybe roam to increase his forward runs even more. Edited April 7, 2021 by crusadertsar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Experienced Defender Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I agree with @crusadertsar on the attack duty for the single CM At the same time, I don't see any good/logical reason for using a role such as CWB in a setup like yours. Neither you play in a narrow formation, nor you have anyone in the midfield to provide defensive protection for the CWB (especially when he is paired up with an attacking wide partner up front). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
