Has anyone yet found a balanced formation with 2 strikers and 'wingers' in the AML and AMR positions? It seems that the new tactics system doesn't propose 2 strikers unless in a basic 4-4-2 system. I understand this is probably tactically how the modern game has developed, however the players in my squad are abundant in SC and AML/R.

I am having success with Barnet in the Conference with this system - it might be a bit simple but I'm unbeaten after 10 games and mostly playing attractive stuff.

I did something close to that, custom made. Heavily based on the 4-2-3-1 gegenpress preset, i just changed the advanced midfielder to a complete forward, pairing with the pressing forward that comes with the preset, effectively doing a 4-2-4. Works well against teams smaller than you and even similar to you, but I wouldn't use a midfield with just 2 players against Champions League teams (against those I use the original 4-2-3-1).

Really like the idea of a 4-2-4 with wingers.

I've been developing a tactic wich I have been using with Milan and Liverpool and it's working quite good. Is based on @Reddwarf33 tactic, but tweaked as most as I can.

If you want to try here's it.

Actually I did the exact thing you described and it worked pretty well for me.

I was using the regular 4-2-3-1 tactic but I couldn't get what I wanted from Icardi and the AMC was completely useless except from simple sideway passes. So I ended removing him and using 2 Wingers plus 2 Strikers and it worked wonders. I won the league but yet I failed in UCL. My actual tactic was based on Gegenpress.

I scored great number of goals but also conceded a lot from counter attacks but still ended up finishing the league 8 points ahead of Juventus with same GD(45).

This season I'm trying 4-3-3 with actually 3 strikers and 3 midfielders. It's kinda meh until I refine it, will see how it goes.

Here goes an updated version of the 4-2-4 tactic. Is based on a tactic I found somewhere (I use to download tons of them and hardly remember after a few days fom where...

) already tweaked as most as I can.

It's based on pressing and possesion and finally managed to get my strikers scoring (previously most of goals came from wingers al FB). Running invicted with Roma for 15 matches right now.

(Please, forgive my english, it's not my natural language).

Hope you enjoy it.

Well... This is my latest attemp to make a working 4-2-4. This time I used as base the 4-4-2 Conte tactic from FMKorea and tweaked it to make it less defensive and more based on pressing and possesion.

For now it's working very well (trying it in two saves, one with Burnley without transfers and other with a custom Burnley world class squad). Quite solid in defense and creating a lot of chances while attacking. A huge number of chaces comes from the high pressure and fast passes to the strikers.

If anyone wants to test it and send some feedback it will be welcome.

Edit: The tactic were created for 19.1.5, but it's working even better in 19.2.
