think I have finally found the tactic that Liverpool use.

at first glance you will notice that there is no out and out striker, sterling will act as the striker from an advanced midfield position as the shadow striker.
Jamie Carrager said after the man city match on sunday about liverpool having an extra man in midfield, so this got me thinking.

The wide left and right players are inside forwards so they cut across to the centre with the ball.
this is an early draft and any further adjustments are welcome.

No midfielder who protects the defence, you will concede a lot.

The MCL is a DLP with suport, a defencively minded player (Stevie G) is perfect in that roll.
MCR is a Roaming Playmaker
You can change the central AM shaddow striker to a striker position if you use false 9.
3 central defenders are ball paying defenders with centre of the 3 having the cover duty
Sweeper keeper is a must have

Havent figured out the wide midfielders rolls and duties yet, at the moment they are on auto which seems to be working fine.

Just beat man u 4-1 with this tactic, top of the table with 3 wins,13 goals scored and 3 conceded.

Interesting, yes i see the DLP, but hes not even on defend, so not much help in defence, you dont have a "destroyer" type of player like Lucas for Liverpool, there is no role fit for him. Please show photos of the results when you get through the season, and what is your average possession?

I'd say Liverpool's central 2 were a mixture of CM(d) for the Joe Allen role and BBM(s) for Henderson.

Although when Gerrard plays it is more of a CM(s) for Gerrard and BBM(s) - probably explains why they're winning more when Gerrard isn't playing this year.

Interesting tactic though, I want to play 3-4-3 on FM but fear it'll be shit.

It is really working, the opposition just cant cope with the extra man in midfield, even if u have the striker as a false 9 he mostly acts like a Shadow striker and sits deeps between the wide inside forwards. Will post some screen shots soon.

to be honest i don't use individual player instructions, i normally just assign the main position duty because i don't want to over complicate things unless
if someone has got any good suggestions on individual instructions.

I tried it out for a couple of games (as Liverpool) to keep my tactics fresh, Had a H 1-0 win against Chelsea then a H 4-0 win against Swansea. I felt it worked quite well considering I have hardly trained in the formation and the squad was at Awkward familiarity with it. I made one small tweak which was to change the deep lying playmaker's duty to defend.

Also, I didn't put any individual instructions as you suggested.

had a very nice win H 5-2 against barca in the champions league, made another small tweak to play Sturridge, changed the shadow striker to a deep lying forward support. Really liking this formation

that is a good idea but the false 9 is better i think, it keeps the main striker doing midfield roles to keep that extra man in midfield.
I am liking this formation as well, I wonder if it will work with other teams lower down.

A suggestion for an individual instruction i found helpful, set the goalie to distribute to centre backs. Tactic is working nicely, won league cup final against united.

thanks, also roll it out works as well for keeper instructions.
i think we just cracked this game, lol

i am experimenting the sit narrower instruction for both wide inside forwards.
