The rest of the instructions are self explanatory really, they are what I found to work best in this formation. The flexible team shape was used as I usually play with fluid or very fluid but this time I wanted the team to keep its shape more often but still have the possibility for some fluid movement when opportunties arise. I also wanted to be solid at the back so I felt control was the best option. I used the control mentality because I enjoy watching my team dominate matches and having the majority of possession. The team instructions above were used for all matches during the season with Swansea. The second striker was withdrawn into attacking midfield to provide a link between midfield and striker. I opted to use a defensive midfielder to reduce the space in front of the two central defenders and provide a defensive shield. The formation as shown above is different from a typical 4-4-2 with one central midfielder deeper than the rest of the midfield and one striker withdrawn into the attacking midfield position. You may call this a 4-1-3-1-1 or something else but I’m calling it a 4-4-2 because it started out as a typical 4-4-2 and works as a 4-4-2. If you like the sound of this tactic check out below for further details. This is a solid tactic which dominates possession, creates chances, scores goals and keeps it relatively tight at the back. This tactic has been tested with Swansea City in the premier league during 2015/2016 season and the results are exceptional. Welcome to my latest tactic in the Best FM 2016 tactics series.
