This is how I setup. I see that the reason why the roles of Allister and Welbeck appear intertwined on the pass map is that they change places from time to time.
another pass map . Player 19 is my striker but we can see that he's going pretty deep and due to the player switching with my player in the fake forward role, he seems to be positioned in the center like a single striker
a pass map from the 3rd game I played with the system. I hope you get a little closer to the game Zerbi as you adapt to the tactic.
Another pass map from the 4th and final game
Due to the low standards of the players in the team compared to the league, some matches may be locked. And I would like to add that I do not have technical players like Brighton.

Do you use any PI's on the CONDUCTOR

actually, with some minor changes, I feel that I am getting a little closer to the way I want to play. latest version and treq statistics for diamond tactic.

The trequartista is very creative but doesn't press. You're playing gegenpressing and very direct with a TF. Why use a trequartista in the first place?
I also don't like the Treq TF DLF combination, TF have a focus play instruction (like playmakers) and the DLF sits deeper so most of the time the midfield will play long passes to the TF and when the trequartista gets the ball, he will also play to the TF. I feel like that's wasting the creative potential.
Your flat 442 midfield is also very defensive and the treq is in a position where you have to press. The diamond is better because you have 2 players in front of the treq who can press and 5 players behind him, vs 0 in front and 1 or 2 behind.
It would be much easier to use an IF, winger, inverted winger, advanced playmaker instead of the treq. I'm not sure what to recommend because I don't really understand why you want to use a treq or what you want this player to do.
Actually, my wish is for the team other than treq to press instead of my player in the treq role, and my other players to provide pressing power, but I aim to use the winning balls with treq and shoot from afar. I aim to be the main score generator along with TF.

I want to play a 2 forward system. I'm sure about the diamond shape, but I'm open to suggestions for a flat 4-4-2. I can take your suggestions on Roles and Instructions.

2026/27 Season - Part 2
I spoke in my last past about how I was trying to recreate a Total Football-inspired formation that included only three defenders, and after some tinkering I think I have found a variation of this formation that I'm very happy with. I've used this formation in all of the games I have played since my last update and it has fared me very well, and has gotten us playing some dominant, possession-heavy and ultimately beautiful football.
The formation I've settled on is a 3-3-3-1, inspired by the 1995 Ajax side that won the Champions League against all odds. I have read a number of articles about Total Football on the fantastic Dictate the Game blog, with this one in particular being the one I followed most to come up with our latest tactical set-up.
The formation is predicated on us having a lot of the ball, spending lots of time in the opponent's half, and placing immense pressure on the opposition defence to try and win the ball back early and punish them. We've a host of quality attacking players so going three-at-the-back allows me to better make use of this talent, and with a large squad we're able to rotate heavily when need be thanks to the depth we have across the field.
I mentioned in my last post that my greatest concern was being exploited in the wide positions when the opposition hits us on the counter, and I think I have been able to find at least a partial solution for this by using both of my central midfielders in the Carrilero role. This is not a role I've ever utilised before, seeing it mainly as a more conservative, boring alternative to a Box-to-Box Midfielder or Mezzala role, but it's been the must crucial aspect of getting this formation to work. The only instruction the Carrilero role has by default is "Stay Wider", which points to what I want my midfield duo to do. I have tasked the likes of Bellingham and Gravenberch, my go-to options for the role, to not only stay wider but also to man-mark the opposition's wingers when we lose the ball. This helps us be pretty strong defensively as they are able to cover the wide men while my defensive midfielder and back three are able to focus on any incoming threat down the middle. So far it has worked very well, and we've kept a number of clean sheets while operating in this formation. I've also asked both players to get forward when we have the ball, meaning they can support our front four and contribute in terms of goals and assists.
This is a hugely demanding role, nonetheless. I'm asking both players to immediately drop back and track opposing wingers when we lose the ball and burst forward to support attacks when we have them. It's knackering, hard work, and I'm also requiring these players to be defensively sound, good on the ball, and effective in the attack. I've used Declan Rice here due to his superb stamina and great defensive stats, while Ryan Gravenberch also fits well due to his physical attributes and creative ability. The star man for me in this role though is of course Jude Bellingham, a complete midfielder, who can do pretty much everything:
In the attack, I've found that our wide players generally perform well and have been notching solid numbers of goals and assists thanks to the high amount of possession we enjoy and the number of players we are able to get joining the attack. While the Carrileros push up and support, we also have the central defenders contributing as well thanks to the freedoms the Wide Centre-Back role allows. I'm still yet to find a perfect way to utilise the Attacking Midfielder in my side but I'm still seeing good performances and contributions from the likes of Szoboszlai and Ødegaard.
I usually do a game-by-game breakdown but as I instead wanted to frame this update around the formation we were using, so will provide an overview of our results from the end of October through to mid-December:
Fantastic, as you can see. After losing 2-0 to Manchester City in October, we went on a 10-game run without conceding a goal in all competitions before finally conceding against Juventus, which was the first time we'd achieved such a run. The formation we were using allowed us to complete dominate lesser sides like Astana and Sheffield United, helping us to really impressive scorelines, but against your average Premier League side we would usually come out deservedly a goal or two ahead by full-time.
One of the things I was also doing with this formation was setting a lot of oppositions instructions going into each game, which included the aforementioned instruction for our two central midfielders to mark the opposition wingers. I was also having our attacking players press the opposition's back line to try and force turnovers high up the pitch. While pressing each member of the defence and goalkeeper would be a given for each match, I'd also seek to show the full-backs onto their weaker foot and go hard on defenders with low bravery and composure. The opening goal we scored against Newcastle was a superb example of this, with Spirin winning the ball back from the defender and immediately playing through Smith Rowe to score an early goal:
A key fixture in this run was our final game in the Champions League group stage as we travelled to Italy to face Juventus. Our five wins from our first five games meant that we could play with relatively little pressure as top spot was secured, but it was still a great opportunity for us to try our new tactic against an elite side. It went fantastically well as we secured a 3-1 win and dominated our illustrious opponents for most of the match:
Gabriel Martinelli had given us the lead before Alex Isak equalised for Juventus immediately after, before Dominik Szoboszlai struck to give us a 2-1 lead with 27 minutes on the clock. We then doubled our lead five minutes later thanks to a second goal for Martinelli and saw the game out with minimal fuss. These last two goals were particularly pleasing to me as we overloaded the box and found ways to score, with the Juventus defence unable to cope:
In both goals we see Bellingham joining the attack from Carrilero position, with him playing Saka through into a dangerous position for the first goal and then making a key pass into Vlahović for the second. In both cases we have lots of attackers in dangerous positions, and both Szoboszlai and Martinelli were able to score with simple finishes when the ball found them free in the box.
After beating Leicester 2-1 in the next game, we were faced with a difficult set of fixtures over Christmas—a trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United would come first, before then returning to the Emirates to host both Spurs and Chelsea.
In the United game I was emboldened to see us take a 2-0 lead in the first half, thanks to goals from Bukayo Saka and Dušan Vlahović:
Our opener showcased how vital it was for our Carrileros to be able to contribute effectively to the attack, as Gravenberch's superb lofted pass totally carved open the United defence and allowed Saka to finish one-on-one with the goalkeeper. The second goal from Vlahović was relatively straighforward but highlighted how dangerous we can be through the middle with numerous attacking options onrushing through the middle. I'm wanting my central striker to create chances for others but also to get in behind where possible and score goals with regularity.
Unfortunately, we were unable to secure a crucial victory as United came back to make it 2-2 in the second half thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Hannibal Mejri. In both cases they were able to get in behind our defence, although I think it was less down to our tactical frailties and more down to conceding chances being inevitable when playing on the road against quality opposition. It was massively disappointing to have drawn the game after going in 2-0 up at half-time, but it was probably a fair result:
A point at Old Trafford would feel much more valuable if we could take six from our next two games against Tottenham and Chelsea, and in the first of our London derby double header we battered Spurs 4-0 thanks to a brace a-piece from Jamal Musiala and Vyacheslav Spirin. I'll hold off on sharing goals from this game but our opener again came from us winning the ball from the opposition defender high up the pitch, allowing Musiala to score a simple goal from inside the box, while our second came about thanks to Gravenberch driving into the box and laying on a simple finish for Spirin. Bukayo Saka continued his fine form by laying on Musiala's second thanks to some great play down the right wing, and Spirin finished the onslaught late in the second half after getting on the end of a cross from former spud Heung-min Son. It was total domination on our part as Spurs were unable to get our from their own half, our our respective shot maps told the story:
Our pass map from this game also showed how we were attacking and building plays, with beautiful diamonds appearing across the pitch:
The Chelsea game was up next, and was a far closer affair. I had noticed that since we had been able to largely neutralise our opponent's wide threats thanks to the defensive action of our two Carrileros, we'd struggled the most against sides who had two strikers pressed up against our three defenders. In this game both Romelu Lukaku and Julián Álvarez caused us problems as Chelsea attacked by Aaron Ramsdale stood firm, denying Chelsea a goal in the game despite an xG of 1.80 for Chelsea. Goals from Vlahović and Martinelli earned us the win either side of the half and we'd just about edged the game, even if Chelsea caused us plenty more issues defensively than Tottenham had done.
This left us with 16 wins and 49 points at the half-way point in the season, but we still managed to find ourselves in third place thanks to the sublime form of Manchester City and leaders Liverpool:
This title race is surely going to be a much closer one than last season, where we won the league with numerous games to spare and ended the campaign with 16 points between us and Manchester United in 2nd place. Crucially, we have already travelled to Anfield, the Etihad and Old Trafford—which is where all of our points thus far were dropped—so I'm hoping we can gain the edge on our rivals between now and May with those tough fixtures out of the way.

Not for this one. What I'm doing is counterpress and close down much more. And then specifically telling my DM, and centrebacks to close down less.
Are there any other PIs you use?

Ah, interesting. Personally, I have struggled more with breaking down sides defending deeper. Our build up play with Ramsdale, White, Gabriel, Tomiyasu and Partey has gone through most opposition presses with ease; up to and including Liverpool. Maybe have a look at where your build-up is breaking down and attempt to address it.Are you playing FM2022? You say 'less than ideal' squad, but - to me, at least - Arsenal have a great squad (particularly including the young players) to achieve Champions League qualification. In fact, I don't think it's far off competing for the title if you manage to get a good bit of form going.
I am happy to play either Attacking or Positive team mentality. It's a marginal decision but I prefer Attacking in general. I don't really change too much for bigger sides, to be honest. I do manage the squad quite carefully to make sure my best team is fit and ready for the big games though.
Certainly look at individual mentalities. It's the single best piece of advice I could possibly give for understanding Football Manager tactics
This is second season. Most of the team have come on a lot; Martinelli, Balogun and Lokonga in particular have come a long way.

Long-overdue end of season update coming tonight and over the next couple of days
. I'll be sharing my plans and hopes on once again making Dynamo Kyiv into a powerhouse in the Champions League. To bring back the glory days of late 1990s.
Also, defending like 4-4-2 but attacking like 3-5-2? Myth or reality? Something that I am hoping to dispel with my Dynamo tactical experiment.
Is it possible to share the file attachment of your tactic?

Not sure what to tell you. Other than that's it's not really meant to be a plug and play type of tactic that wins most games without your constant input.
Personally, I have been watching most games on comprehensive highlights and making little tweeks like dropping the defensive line or going from attacking to balanced mentality for some games (for Real Madrid). It's still a very narrow system which gives it a natural disadvantage against most teams that pack their wings using 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3. Honestly if I wanted to get easy wins or to break scoring records I would probably go with something like a 4-2-3-1 or even simple 4-4-2. But for me the fun is in making a more unique formation successful rather than winning with something that everyone is using right now.
So yeah use this tactic at your own peril I guess
I want to try your tactic. Can you leave the file attachment?

What are the PIs on your 2amc tactic?

Goals scored in the semi-finals and finals of the Champions League. The opportunities he creates with these runs against simpler teams can be much more incredible than these. His runs without the ball are incredible.

Runs on the ball often, gets forward whenever possible, tries killer balls, shoots from distance, anything for him that doesn't take away form your tactic, he can do it all!
After getting ahead whenever possible, he started making incredible off-the-ball runs. His stats this season are unbelievable

I feel that I am getting closer with this tactic, but it may be necessary to add PIs to some players.
PIs:
CD: stay wider
W(a):Shoot less often mark left back
IF(s):shoot less often mark right back roam from position get further forward
If you have ideas for PIs and TIs, I'd love to see

I tried it before and I felt that I approached it mostly with these formations. I'm not very good at pi and ti, but you can observe and shape 3-4 matches in 2d and full

I don't care about possession, I want to attack larger areas with fast attacks so it's actually better for me to have the ball on the opponent
