[Carrilero as a wide man in a 4-2-2-2]

I played your left side in a 4231 in 19, just more hyper-aggressive with an IWBs. It looked well, even if the high outer flank was often left blank

Interesting. 

I'm contemplating switching to a 4-2-3-1. Thinking the RMD/IF(A) won't clash with the AF, when the striker is back centrally. 

Maybe and AM(S) in the AMC spot. With roam from position and get further forward, to support the AF and also to vacate space for the AP to drift into

And the team's attacking width is set to narrow...?

How wide are you expecting or wanting a Midfield centre to move given the overriding instruction is for the team to stay compact?

Well... Good point. 

My thinking was that the narrow width would ensure that the team was close together for the counterpress if we lose the ball. I can see how that would hinder the movement I want.

What exactly do you mean by that? Which instructions are you using out of possession?

high LOE and very high DL. Offside trap. Extremely Urgent press. Cut off passes from goalkeeper. Force opposition outside.

Putting the AF on the same side with RMD or IF on attack does not look like a good idea to me. The opposite would make a lot more sense. 

I agree. My thinking was that i wanted a support duty on the right to enhance the overload made by Focus play on the right. I choose the PF(s) because i was affraid that the F9 or DPF would clash with the AP(s) on the left wing.

I also wanted more than one player attacking the space on the left.

My pc isn't currently working, but I have an idea that I'm dying to test. 

This is the setup :

4-2-2-2:
             AF(A)   PF(S)
RMD/IF(A)                    AP(S)
             Car(S)  DP(S)
IWB(D) CD(D) BPD(D) FB(A)

High pressing with possession.
Shorter passing, higher tempo. 
Positive mentality
Focus play right
Overlap right.
Play out from back
Narrow

The idea is to drag the opposition to right, before unleashing the left sided attackers. 

Maybe the PF(s) should be a AMC(s). 

But my big question is the if Carrilero will provide enough width on the left. 

I like the way the iwb(D) provides support when playing out from the back, so doesn't want to change him to a fullback. 

[Crash dump on the January deadline day across saves]

hi

I'm unable to play past deadline day on January 31. 

I have tried the following:

- going on holiday

- Deleting all graphic packs. logo, facepack, stadium and kits.

- Deleting transfer updates.

- Starting a new save, and playing up until January 31.

- Loading an old save, from before the crashes begun.

- Deleting cashes and preferences, and verifying game data.

Nothing works. I still get a crash dump on the same day.

I have uploaded my current save as "Chelsea- transfer update.fm". On that save i have reinstalled the tansfer update, but the crashes started without it.

 

I hope you can help
