In my first season I had good success with Piatek as the Raumdeuter in a 4-2-2-2 of sorts, he was second top scorer before I sold him 2nd season.

I used the exact front 3 with with a different midfield/defence and the AF and AP(A) both put up great numbers. Although I was playing with Liverpool and had elite players. I had the front 3 on close down more and tackle harder.

I played him in a 4312 as a AP(A) behind a DLF(S) and an AF and he did great for me. 15 goals and 13 assists in 39 games.

Left that up to my Ass Man.

Salah 25 goals and 16 assists in 48 games Firmino 21 goals and 8 assists in 49 games Mane 14 gaols and 11 assists in 40 games Origi 22 goals and 3 assists in 35 games. Shaqiri, Ox and later in the season Everton chipped in with 20 goals and 17 assists between them. As for the trickier games, mainly just dropping the defensive line and LOE sometimes and the LB role switched from F(s) to IWB(s) but mostly stayed as WB(s). Didn't ever feel the need to change anything else, dropping the wingers to the midfield strata if a sending off or to sure things up.

The DLP has: Take More Risks and More Direct Passes. The W(s) and AM(s) has: Get Further Forward and Take More Risks. I'll typically change the mentality or the LB role in big games if I feel it's needed.

I've been having plenty of success with the 4231 this year, albeit using Liverpool. Conversely have been struggling to create chances with the 433!.
