ELHAZEL 3-5-2 GOAL MACHINE

ELHAZEL 3-5-2 GOAL MACHINE

"The best form of defending is attacking" - Roberto Carlos


Firstly, don't mind my grammar. English isn't my native language.


This formation tested on FM 13 version 13.3.3 with Southampton.

Plus:
- GOALS FRENZY
- High ball possession rate (up to 60% - 70% ball possession)
- Terrifying amount of Shots, On Targets, and Clear Cut Chance
- High Pass Completion stats (up to 85%)

Minus:
- A little vulnerable through wide attack, or against team that have world-class winger or wide midfielder. A match could be ended with high score like 5-3, or 4-2 (which is i don't mind, because i'm satisfied enough with win and attempts on attacks)
You can still use this tactic, make some tweaks, or you can use another tactic to prevent this vulnerability. Your call.

Any review and testimonial about my tactic will greatly appreciated!

This does look great mate, I love a formation with 3 at the back. My only concern is that it's seemingly been done with quite a strong team, how about you try it with someone a little lower, maybe a Wigan at the start of 2012/13 or a mid-table Championship team as Ithink that is where you'll find real results

Clearly great work though, have you used this from the start of the save?

I don't believe that this works
