[Master Tactician]

Well, he can attack from everywhere. It depends on his players and formation. If he has good MCs and AMC then he can easily go through middle. It just has to be highlighted that with only 1 player in each flank, there is a chance to create 2-1 situations through the flanks.

On my view, this kind of formation-tactic (deep defense, with 5(!) defenders and 2 MCs defending--> 2 rows of defenders), own half pressing, etc is old, boring and very very vulnerable to modern football, like 4-3-2-1 christmass tree, 3-1-4-2,butterflies, even 4-4-2s etc. There are chances that these kind of tactics can work (eg Greece euro 2004), but only in some cases during a match or in cases where you want to control the score. Never as a main formation for a whole season. It doesn't work on professional football and I can't see why it can work in Top Eleven.

Last season the champion in my league was using a 3N-3W-2N-1-1,even more defensive, he won the title unbeaten and with a goal difference of 110, also won the champions league with only one defeat 1-0.
