When I do find myself up against teams I should beat and/or dominate, I find that they can park the bus quite effectively given the narrowness of this formation. The other key challenge you run into is stagnancy on offense, which can only be partially solved by better personnel. With no wide men other than the fullbacks (who I have as wingbacks) you'll get a lot of crosses into your box, so this must be countered by having central defenders who are at least big and strong with good heading. This suits me since I'm usually starting with a relegation candidate team, and I like to focus first on making it hard to score on us before I focus on attack. It's very good defensively, but takes some work (and finding good players) to begin to work offensively. I came upon it a few versions ago as a solution to the fact that at these levels finding quality wide men was very difficult, while I also found I could attract a (relative) abundance of central midfielders and strikers. This is my favourite formation for when I start out with small teams in low-reputation leagues (Welsh Premier, Norwegian Second, Skrill N/S, etc.). wow! (in 10 games, won 10 43 goals for 7 against) On a side note - ive gone back to 2012 to try it with my save there and. The formation also lets me keep a smaller squad, not having to worry about wings, but if you have a CMR/L with crossing and dribbling skills. I use two DLFs to help maintain the midfield, one support, one attack - both roam/channels. CMR/L - (attack) Roam, Close down more.įBs - (Support or attack) less risky passes, short passing. Defenders will pass direct, attackers short)ĬM - (support) close down more. (with the Defensive instruction the team will play deep, slow and narrow, with no pressing.

Standard, Defensive (Im a weak team) - Short passing, Higher D-Line and retain possession. I would like to hear other players experiences with 4132s, as im suddenly enjoying 2014 watching my terrible Barnsley team play attractive flowing football, creating up to 20 chances a game while restricting my competition to long shots and the cursed long throws - with around 5 CCC a game im loving it. I often find that it doesn't work so well - but is it working again? As a very long time CM/FM player, im often brought back at some point to try my favorite game (CM 01/02) Graeme Kelly 4132 tactic.
