The unfortunate thin is that SI games hasn't put in overlapping  CB's in the game. Really a shame. We be fun  to have that option when you play with a back-line of 3 CB's and don't have any wingers. 

u have any idea about how to built a tactic with blades?

You can do it. The centre backs you want doing it should selected as BPD’s and also should have brings ball out of defence trait  as well as play out of defence team instruction and distribute to central defenders.

Whilst this will get them forward occasionally, to suggest this replicates what Chris Wilder has them doing in real life is missing the point.

The outside CBs in real life cleverly pick their moments to create overloads down the wings. Rarely are they dribbling out from the back which is what you will more likely see in FM with those instructions. They tend to overlap off the ball creating a 3v2 on the wing, with the help of a centre mid, wing back and striker (McGoldrick) who drops deeper.

Until this is added properly it will be difficult to get anywhere near the current system used by Sheff Utd.

With this in mind, I created a similar approach without focussing on the CBs issue that has worked wonders. 
 

I’ve gone with the 3-5-2 as expected but with a SK (d), 3 CBs (d), DLP (s), CWBs (a), 2 mezzalas (s), a DLF (s) and a PF (a).

(at work so can’t screenshot from my laptop)

Finished 10th in season 1, having gotten rid of as many players I felt aren’t Premiership standard and then rebuilt at the end of season 1. Season 2 I just missed out on Europe on the last day and then season 3 I finished 4th and secured Champions League football, along with getting Dean Henderson to sign permanently! 
 

Moved on to another save at this point as having played every year with Sheff Utd, I was bored and needed a new challenge/country. I’ve taken the same system with me to Portugal and it’s working great there too.

Everything is set up perfectly to make a dynasty. Players like Egan, O’Connell, Baldock, Stevens and Fleck are good Premiership players to build around. The 3-5-2 works well on FM if you get the player roles and instructions right.

I can spot a couple of issues but please can you translate the screen into English so I can see the instructions and player roles? I think I can help improve your attacking side which will also help you defensively.

balanced

in possession - shorter passing, slightly higher tempo, overlap left, overlap right

In transition - counter, distribute quickly

Out of possession - standard DL, lower LOE,

Okay, thanks.

First issue is you don’t have enough attacking roles. It’s important to think where and how are the goals coming. Who is going to create and who is going to score. So, in this formation, you currently only have the advanced forward. I would suggest you make both WBs complete wing backs on attack. Let’s create chances down the wings.

The rest of your tactic is actually alright on paper. You haven’t got anything glaringly wrong so things just need tweaking. For example, I would use Norwood as the DLP and move him back a line (to the DM strata- above the CBs). 
 

Have a try with those changes and watch the match highlights on extended. Then see if you can identify any areas of concern in attack or defence. Let me know how you get on. 

I am interested to see how you get on by making changes yourself. If things don’t improve, I will show you what I have created and see if that gives you any ideas.

In case anyone else reading the thread is interested, this is my approach to Sheff Utd’s 3-5-2 tactic in FM. At Sheff Utd I used the cautious approach due to most teams being better on paper than us. At Sporting, I am better than most teams so I use attacking.

I've tried to replicated it by having one CB(c) and then players in the RB/LB as IWB(s) and RWB/LWB positions as CWB(a). Found that you have more versatility with IWBs than CBs and can ask them to do more things.

To complete the midfield, there's a HB(d) in the deep midfield role (Norwood comes as deep as Egan at times), with a BBM(s) (Fleck's role) and a MEZ(s) Lundstram.

F9 (McGoldrick) and PF(a) (Mousset) up front.

The positives are that you can produce overloads down the flanks, with the WBs, IWBs, and left/right sided midfielder down each side. The F9 provides an extra man in midfield.

The downside is that i've struggled to defend effectively - but i'm putting this down to playing far too aggressively and leaving loads of space in behind. Might work well if you play with a cautious mentality but with a high line and not too aggressive pressing? Certainly doesn't work with counter pressing. I think it could be balanced out quite nicely though with the correct TIs, I just haven't found them yet.

Nice ideas. I’d swap Fleck and Lundstram’s roles though. Lundstram is definitely more the b2b player in my opinion, with Fleck having the better technical attributes to play the mezzala role.

I get what you’re saying about Norwood. At times, Egan is left very much on his own and Norwood drops back in. He does act like an American football Quarterback in the sense he controls the tempo and passing. 
However in FM, I prefer to use him as a DLP on defend and get him working on traits such as dictates tempo, comes deep to get ball and rarely gets forward. (Can’t remember which he already had in game). I feel he controls the game better in the match engine this way.

Have you tried dropping the defensive line to standard or low and the POE line to standard, with pressing set as slightly urgent? This should reduce the impact of long balls over the top and avoid players being too far out of position when the opponent counters.

Yeah you could swap them round I guess. Lot of flexibility in there depending on what you want them to do.

I tried Norwood as a DLP(d) but I found he didn't drop deep enough to support the lone CB and it left me exposed. Even as a HB I've found that if the player has the attributes he will still try to control the game as a DLP would but will be a bit more disciplined defensively.

I abandoned the tactic for a while to be honest, but the more stuff i've been reading about how to prevent being exploited by the long balls and applied this to my other tactics, the more I think that it could work with this one. I always felt that playing with a lower line and lower pressing made my teams a bit more passive but i think there's definitley a way to balance things out. I will certainly give it a go anyways!

I like the fact you’ve tried to find a way to make it work rather than just download a tactic from the tactics thread. I started working on my tactic 3 years ago, after years of just using someone else’s and it’s far more rewarding I think!

No you can't. You will never see in fm an CB doing overlaps or underlaps in FM20.

What you are talking about is just CB's taking the ball out of defence instead of hitting it long, not overlaps or underlaps.

Indeed, pretty hard to get it working  at the moment...

 

 Particularly of note is Rashidi's comments.

Imo Si Games needs to put in more instructions to FM to make it more flexible. 

It's not really the amount of intructions... its all there already in game, it's just the engine itself doesn't allow the kind of movement that's needed for this particular role .. which isn't surprising considering how ouyt of hte norm it is irl football.
