Dominating Attacking Soccer 3-2-4-1

If you want to play attacking soccer, dominate all aspects of the game and scores a lot of goals, try this attacking 3-2-4-1 tactic.
Also using this tactic is an interesting adventure and will be a new experience in Football Manager.

I played two seasons with Bayern by using this tactic and you can guess what the result was! I broke all of the opponents and win everything! But you need to be more cautious in Champions League and sometimes change this tactic to 4-1-2-2-1 to slow down and control the game as well. I always start the game with this tactic but depends on what happened in the game in some occasion I changed to 4-1-2-2-1 in the last 30minutes of the game for keep the result with lower risk.

The Philosophy of this tactic is to keep the ball near opponent’s penalty box and cut inside with dribbling skills or create a chance with an incisive pass into penalty box. The opposition’s defense needs to man mark all of your 5 attackers and close all of spaces and zones simultaneously to ensure that you can’t dribble them or pass. But everyone know that’s impossible!!!
