A working 4-2-4 for 17.3 patch developed live on stream with the community. If you want to get involved in the process, join us at www.twitch.tv/the_reckonist.

Taking lessons learned from trying to recreate Leicesters style from 2016, I was determined to get a working 4-2-4 into this years game.
The best way to do that was to take advantage of a very attacking formation by playing it a little defensively. Dropping deep playing through and long balls into the space created by dropping a little deeper and pulling the opponents defensive further up the pitch.

High Physical stats are a priority as is Work Rate and Teamwork.
Deeper analysis in the linked video.

Results.
Over the two years playing on stream we got Newcastle promoted to the Premier League (Whoop di-do) But more impressively, we got into the Champions League in season two and playing football that won a player English Player of the Year.

incredible - as is the strikerless 3-7-0 Robben's Right Foot. took Southampton to 5th, 3rd, 2nd with 3-7-0 and im currently 38 games into a season with Aston Villa using Maldini Doesnt Takle - Top of the table 15 points clear of Newcastle with 8 to play. Reckonist hats off to you my friend!

I'll give that a try, thanks!

i usually put matheusinho in the RW slot as a Winger, Mbappe in the LW slot as an IF, and Dolberg in the S slot as a DLF. I actually have Lapadula as my other S, as sreckonist has in the video. He's got 23 goals and 12 assists in 30 games as the AF

Hi Lando -
I'm just about to win premier league second season with sunderland, having finished 4th last year. The key to overcoming defensive teams is to have three very quick (pace,.acc 16+) and half decent players on the bench. So at 65 minutes, if you are 0-0, versus anyone, if you bring on Mbappe (who you can loan easily for first 3 years of the game), Matheusinho (high pace, acc, dribbling), and Dollberg (high pace, dribbling, finishing), they will score at least once in nearly every game.

Very interesting tactic, looking at it I thought that this will go along very well with my favorite spanish club Atletico, so I gave it a try.
Won the league, which isn't that surprising, given the fact that Atletico has a very strong squad.
But I won almost every match vs Barca, Real or other strong europeann teams, thrashing Barca 5:1 away and winning the Cup final vs Real 7:2. I'm doing particularly well against equal or stronger teams. I am struggling a bit with teams that employ a very defensive approach, also I'd like to ask what you recommend when my team is behind a goal, tried "be more expressive" and that worked a few times.
Anyway, rated this one up, really like it and my thanks go to the author :steamhappy:

@frostyy Hey matey. Keep at it. Also Leicester have a shocking defense and I bet its Danny Simpson getting reds, aye?
