BJT – A Conte 352 / King of the Serie A. Following a request to try and replicate Conte’s favoured 352 / 532 formation, admittedly I’ve only seen him manage Chelsea with close eyes. But given his popularity I thought I’d give it a go. I firstly saw a video on youtube that explained how this year’s Inter were playing in brief. Which tactic is broken in FM19? As title states, which (if any) tactic is broken in fm19? In fm18 I found the 4-3-3, 4-1dm-2-3 or just about any 3 striker constellation to be absolutely broken. Earlier editions had a thing for 4-2-3-1, but I cannot remember which one.
RDF's The Godfather 352 / 343, a recreation of Antonio Conte tactics at Chelsea 2016/17 and Inter 2018/19.I recommend using this in the Italian leagues as it has only been tested in Italy so far. I also recommend tweaking, tweak recommendations will be below.
In 2016/17 Antonio Conte came to England to manage Chelsea, a very difficult job. Things didn’t start well, he began with 4 at the back but it was the heavy loss away to Arsenal that made Conte switch back to his familiar style he used in Italy. This was new to the Premier League. Being able to win the league with a style nobody in England was used to, deserves credit and will we try to replicate that masterpiece in to FM20.
We will also be replicating his very familiar 352 system that he trusts very much!
Conte created a system which makes Chelsea / Juventus / Inter play pleasing football whilst being defensively strong.
I will be bring two variations.
- 2016/17 Chelsea
- 2018/19 Inter
- 352 Inter Mirror
- 352 Inter Sweeper
The Conte Tactic Build Up
Fluidity - Conte teams have all been well drilled. Here, we achieve this by having team fluidity on Structured.Starts with the GK. he will be instructed to distribute to CBs, Conte liked his team to play out from the back, but not overplay the ball! The aim is here that the two CBs split wide, your Sweeper/Central Defender will look to collect the ball, he will then have a few options, he can dribble, play in to CBs or to the Wing Backs. Your GK must be confident in possession.
Conte's teams doesn't push to the maximum, he likes to be compact, invite pressure, counter with space.
The wing backs will look to attack and defend. When attacking, they will give some width in attack. Both wide defenders will make forward runs often and when defending both of them will drop back in defence making it now a 5 man defence.
The central midfielders will cover a lot of ground. They need to be able to link the defence with attack. Both midfielders will almost act as box to box midfielders, whilst one aims to win possession more urgently.
The two wider forwards (or two forwards in 352 system) will look to move around to try cause the opposition headaches. the middle forward looks into spaces to be a focal point. In the 352 system, midfielders making forward runs will try to exploit the space.

Tweaking Tips
- Tempo can be altered. Either slower to break down defence or quicker to get ball in final third quicker.
- Attacking width can be altered. To wider, this is to open more space but be careful, your team maybe be exposed to counters.
Opposition Instructions
I only use OIs against the top teams. I pick there best player (example, Neymar at PSG or Ronaldo/Dybala at Juventus) and use 'never tight mark'.The Conte Tactic Results

The best low league tactics in Football Manager 2019
Looking for the best FM19 tactics for low league teams, we have found one made by NikFM. The best low league formation is 4-3-3 narrow and it is the one that should produce many goals and many chances.
Not usual for hard, solid low leagues, but doing the opposite from expected can bring you glory. Great thing is that you don’t need technical strong players (they probably play in the higher leagues or in the local bar) for this formation, instead you should look to physically dominant and strong players.
Great low league attacking approach tactic
4-3-3 Narrow formation is attacking one from the start. To utilize most of this NikFM tactic, you need to set some attacking options. You should focus on playing through the middle because there most of your players are.
You will be playing out of defense, low league tika taka. Approach play should be played into space with more direct passing. This kind of tactic means you will have the ball in your feet most of the time, so tempo should be set to lower.
In the final third games are won or lost. You should try with low crosses and here is where your wing backs must do most of the job. When you lose the ball, play counter-press to earn it back as soon as possible.
In transition, when you get a ball, play counter. As Liverpool, try to kill the opponent with pressing and counter-pressing. When your team is defending, play your defensive line as high as possible with offside traps. It will narrow the playable area and you will get the ball back soon.

How to select players for this 4-3-3 FM19 tactic?
Starting from defence, here we found two may be the most important players in this formation. These are wing backs with attacking duty. They need to be fast with great crossing as they will most of the time try to find strikers from the wing.
If you have some money in your transfer budget, spend it on wing backs. Central defenders will be on much pressure with this attacking tactic as they will have a lot of space to cover. You should set one on the stopper and the other one on defensive duty. Beside defending ratings, also look for pace and acceleration when buying central defenders.
In the midfield, we have two CMs with automatic duty so they will help to attack and defence evenly playing from box to box. And the third is CM with defending duty who will make sure nothing goes pass him (maybe Gattuso could come out of retirement?).
This attacking tactic in FM19 depends a lot on your three strikers. Central one is a false 9, he will be coming down to receive the pass and connect midfield with attack. On the left side is Poacher and he needs to do only one thing. One small thing and that is score goals. On the right side is advanced forward. He needs to bit creative but with good finishing as he will do both, assist and score.
Playing like this should secure your goals, a lot of chances and a lot of success. Hopefully, it will bring you promotion and you will become your low league team hero!
