[Ajax 2018/19 4231 in FM20]

This is the thread I've hoped to see! To add some context, I've just taken the Ajax job in 2024 and my intention is to have a young, technical squad capable of playing as an Ajax team can. I've set up a 433 formation & a 4231 based on the team from last season. Quite luckily I have a DM/CM who could take up the Frenkie De Jong role with enough attention and training. I will be keeping an eye on this thread closely that's for sure. Also interested to see the dynamic of the front 4 you suggest.

It's working well so far. Creating plenty of chances and seeing a lot of good link-up play between players. Only seem to be managing around 53% possession in each game at the moment and I'm looking to get that up to around 60% and higher. The one thing I will say about it is that my wide players aren't suited to the role they have in the team. Both set at W-A but they cut in far too much, and when I swap them for Luke Shaw and Nelson Semedo, those two play the role much better and stay wider always.
