thim1993 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 ahead of fm 18, trying to create a 4231 in current style Jose is playing full backs staying wide and overlapping, two stable centre backs. Matic as a deep lying playmaker and pogba a roaming playmaker the front 3 behind lukaku (complete forward attack) is where is am struggling to recreate the current style. Martial on rashford on the left as an inside forward attack getting behind the opposition defence seems to be working but the issue is with the right side and the amc i have been using mata as the 10 and mikhi inside forward support but with the instruction that they are to swap positions like they seem to be doing IRL. I am thinking that with the potential purchase of griezmann he may take matas place in the starting 11 and have the role of swapping with mikhi between the 10 role and inside forward on the right. However the game does not seem to like the swapping roles I am trying to implement and am currently struggling to get the best out of mata or mikhi with their rating consistently in the 6.5-6.9 range just wondered if anyone else was planning to try and recreate this tactic ahead of fm 18 and whether you had any success so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mkhi plays number 10 and mata keeps coming inside from the right to link with him. I was able to recreat this by playing Attacking mid support on Amc and inside forward support with roaming on right wing. I actually prefer mata as number 10 unlike IRL. He is more creative and mkhi has more speed for the wing. I have no idea why jose doesn't try this for real. One reason might have been work rate but mkhi is no better than mata in this regard. Also, if you play inside forward on the left side too, doesn't that compress the space in the middle too much? I prefer winger on attack. Martial and rashers both rotate for this spot. They play like winger/IF hybrids i.e starting position is wide but they cut in enough to be a goal threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymubdo21 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I just had the best season with United, first season success in the league and hopefully Europa League final. I went out in the FA cup and League earlier but this gave me time between games to be consistent in the league...and what a league season it was Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dondo's Kebab Shop Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Has anyone had any luck getting Lukaku to score? It seems anyone with the places shots PPM just misses bucket loads of chances. It's infuriating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I have - Pog usually scores into double figures each season. Usually playing as a B2B or RP, and with the 'shoot less often' PI just to tone him down a bit. Deadly from free kicks, too.

Gavinwwe Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Hi guys, i was wondering if anyone has got a 4231 wide working with inside forwards and a control or counter mentality and willing to share? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not something I've managed this year. It looks like the way to go, because the top teams in the Prem in game seem to prefer it (Arsenal, Spurs, and Liverpool - among others - have done very well playing 4231) and score loads while being pretty solid at the back. Whenever I've tried, it goes the other way - can't score and concede a boatload. I've had the most success with a 4123wide, followed by the 4312, and 4132. The 4123 is a natural at United because you have all the positions covered, both starters and backups. The narrow formations are harder because you start with too many wide players and it's hard to fit them all in. But if you take the time to read the thread you'll find several people have done well with 4231 so it's not impossible. I just haven't been able to make it work.

Fair play though if you get it to work. My Dlp (D) effectively sits in front of the back 4 in line with my Wb (S) and the high press up top helps. I aim to have quick players in the forward positions and stack my squad with youth. I'm in season 20/21 and my first 11 has Ander Herrara as the oldest player at 31, and I have 6 players 25 or under. (I try to stay true to the old Man Utd way of bringing through youth players.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the transfer window in my second season, and Madrid have offered £70 up-front for Mkhitaryan. He had an okay first season, and I was hoping for more from him in the second, but this amount of money is seriously tempting! If I let him go though, I'd need a replacement, as my other attackers (not including strikers) are: Mata Lingard Rashford (though he's better as CF) Martial (struggling for form since the start of the game) Pereira Januzaj (on the transfer list) Any suggestions on a replacement (or anyone think I should just reject the offer)? I've got £130m to spend - have already tried (and failed) for Griezmann, Dybala. One player who might be available for £30m is Willian from Chelsea, who is unsettled at the moment... Lol bought griezmann for 46m . you should get dybala for about 63m in first season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
