The transition from 4-2-3-1 to 4-2-2-2

During my first 12 seasons, I always used a 4-2-3-1 formation

My game has always been based on midfield dominance and possession. Basically the style that Arsenal incorporate. However, similar to Arsenal, I did not create enough goal scoring opportunities. After a 2 year break from T11, I realized the difference in the mechanics and just was not getting enough opportunities for goals.

So, I made a change....

After one season, won the league and cup double!

I do concede more goals with this formation, but create far more opportunities. With the 2 CDM's, I make sure there is enough cover for the defense. As I have stayed with the same instructions, I do feel more comfortable with 2 up front.

I advise a formation with 2 upfront!!!
