NO MIDFIELDERS tactic in FM24. Wins a title?

As you all know I like playing weird and crazy Football Manager tactics and this time I will be trying to win the Champions League final WITHOUT MIDFIELDERS witht he most cracked Real Madrid side ever and will try to make it work for a whole season with Man City afterwards.
MIDFIELDERLESS ... we don't things 'cause they are easy, but because they are hard :D

crazy

Right? I was sure it could work in a single game but did not expect to deliver over a season ....

[@fsdafdsafdas]

Is it just the player's the team's have? Could this work with a lower Premier league team?

[@zapbulon]

Hmm, I have not tested and I kinda doubt it will work 'cause what I created depends on your team being able to control games/possession. So I'd say it may probably work ... a bit with a Brighton but if you're gonna loose the ball a lot and have slow defenders that can't catch up with runners - it may really end as a disaster But I'm gonna give it a try and let you know!

No attackers next 😂

[@zapbulon]

I was considering it, but not strikerless only (you can check the 43x3x tactics video) as that one is kinda easy BUT no strikers and no attacking midfielders, that one I'm not sure I can make work

@@zapbulon maybe try make the best defensive tactic that could be cool

[@zapbulon]

@@HiHi-zx1wv I was actually working on this for quite some time now but ... Hitting brick wall after brick wall. Defenses are just too leaky, easiest thing to do is just press high and hoard possession.
