Two Defensive Midfielders

[pcmacdaniel]

Pls give I need ur opinion on dis thread and I truly appreciate ur view cos I'm a defensive minded manager and I love to try out the use of 2DMC with a formation like dis:
4_2dmc_3aml amc amr_1srkr

3_2dmc_3ml mc mr_2

So my question is which of these formation is good and in top eleven can two defensive midfielders give u a better covering for ur back three or back four?,

Your second formation is useful when you're playing a team that is parking the bus and your back 3 is more athletic than the players they're marking. 3w defense in a man-to-man when you have an advantage in physical and mental stats + 2 DMC to break up the longball over the top (neutralizing the counter-attack game). normal mental too, so not to help feed the opponents counters.

I setup that way when I use this tactic when facing an opponent that likes to dig in like its trench warfare.
