I'm still not sold on the tight marking but you seem to like it, I just see it as something that would go hand in hand with defensive tactic. You could even afford to have your right FB on Attack to add another dimension do your attack I switched the CM (A) to a BBM and it has been working well so far, we played against Blackpool who were 3rd in League One at the time, and we are in the VNS so that's like a 3 league difference but it was only 1-0 and close on XG. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue9877 Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 I also changed the AP (s) to CM (S) which I think is helping us defensively but it might be a better squad because our league winning odds are 3-1 now instead of the usual 300-1.

Johnny Ace Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 You've done really well there @trueblue9877 You do find in some leagues, there's an out and favourite that walks the league and no matter how well you do, you just can't better them 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course a better squad helps, but I have also found the CM S to be really effective in strengthening defense 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is about as good as it would get for them with their current squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Role & duty wise, it's very similar to a 4-4-2 I used in FM21, I'd just change the right midfielder to a Winger (A) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
