This was built and tested in Italian football using both AC Milan and Roma as subjects.And originally started with 1ST and 4 CM/DM combo. This was eventually deemed too defensive and the added threat of a 2nd striker made a direct ball to the top viable and making the team less predictable. Its not a gamebreaker but it is a viable Sweeper. system for FM18.

Season 1 MIlan: Serie A won
Season 2 Roma: Champions League won

Quick Tips

AC Milan are built for this system. Both Bonuchi and Mussachio are capable Sweepers and are excellent being the man behind.If your team does not have a Sweeper I suggest Rodrigo Caio who can be picked up by a top team in transfer window one (Season One) for around 14 million GBP. There is no other reason it wont work in other nations, however the finding of a capible Sweeper is paramount to this and the fact is, there are not many accomplished sweepers in world football these days.

Segundo Volantes need to be very physical as they have to cover a lot of ground. Mentally disciplined (Concentration, Decisions) and have at least one with a long shot threat.

WB’s are going to get out numbered on the flanks but crosses are going to have to be exceptional to give 3 CB and a keeper troubles.

Keeper should be able to handle crosses well.

WB will be running all day.

I have also stumbled onto this type of formation- two Segundo Volantes and a Roaming Playmaker (or Ball Winning Midfielder)... I've used it with 4 at the back, and 3 attackers when I'm a heavy favorite.

But when I really got results with it was with two Shadow Strikers instead of two traditional forwards. Only problem is that overall- lots of injuries due to the pace and running.

An excellent tactic for any team who finds themselves loaded at back but lacking depth up front!! If you just do not have and cannot acquire a good sweeper, you CAN move the sweeper to the middle DM position and set him as anchorman or halfback (I prefer HB). Worst case scenario (no sweeper and not enough DM's) you could also pull the sweeper up to middle CD and set as cover duty...not quite the same but still works! Overall a great tactic! Thanks Reckonist, keep em coming ;)

The tactic is good! But i fid it works even better defensively with an Ancor man (instead of a sweeper). Have you tried it?

Thanks for sharing!
