I had a successful 4-3-1-2 in FM12 and had the outside CMs as box to box players, or sometimes at home one box to box and the other advanced playmaker (attack). The central MC was centre midfielder (defend) and the AMC was attacking midfielder (support). That created a rough diamond shape, with the outer two players acting as 'shuttlers' or, in the variant, one of them aiming to defend less but score and assist more.
