Stay Wider and Get further forward on the wingers Close down more on every player Take fewer risks and Shoot Less Often on my IWbs those as the main ones i can think of, i have trigger press selected on each position because I want to win the ball back as much as possible, i leave individual OIs to my assistant manager though.

ive asked quite a few questions here trying to create the perfect 235, and i do think im getting close now. the only way ive been successful recreating proper touchline wingers who cut inside and having a player in all channels is the widest setting with play through the middle selected so the mezzalas (one on attack and one on support to give me depth through the lines) not drifting too far wide and my wingers stay wide holding the width. i like to use two iwbs to support my DLP as my mezallas do drift quite high. it works well, i get around 650/850 passes most game with 60%+ possession with high xG, whilst solid defensively. obviously you need to be one of the better teams but i hope this helps.

I play a classic 433, which becomes a 235 in possession. i want a player in all 5 channels and thats why i use two mezzalas, one slightly deeper on support and one more advanced on attacking to give me depth through the lines in attack. my question is what width should i use, as any higher than fairly narrow i feel my mezzalas and my wingers (instructed to stay wide and hug the line) occupy the same spaces but i dont see my wingers hug the lines as often, and my IWBs seem to come too far inside too. what width or instructions should i use?

Yeah agreed, feels like no matter the role you use your striker either drops too deep or doesnt drop at all. Not tried the DLF(A) but I've always had a thing for a complete forward to be honest. I've found it hard to get my striker involved significantly in play in general, I know they're gonna have lower numbers for passing but it seems way too low in my opinion. CF(A) works well because he always works hard getting back into the box to finish attacking moves in my experience.

your tactical ideas are nearly identical to mine haahahah. added a beautiful 2-3-5 passmap too

i try recreating this with antony for the robben role, i train him to get the hug line trait and use a IW-S to get him tracking back and involved in build up, and use stay wider too. i also use get further forward too.

thought so, but never seem to catch that movement in game, the cut inside with ball puts me off. also should i worry about the suitability of the role with my players as none of them seem to be able to play it well on paper

How can i recreate wingbacks similar to how erik ten hag uses them for man united, where they sit narrow in possesion but overlap when my wingers who stay wide in build up cut inside.
