FM24 Custom Direct Counter Attack V1: Classic 3-5-2 Version with Go Ahead Eagles

In this post, I will focus on an FM24 custom direct counter attack V1 of my FM24 Custom Tactics series. Direct counterattack is an old football tactic, it is still around today, but most managers prefer fluid counterattacks to it today. FM24 tells us about the tactic as “Draws the opposition forward to leave them vulnerable on the break. Players will look to move the ball forward as quickly as possible on the counter-attack to exploit spaces in behind”. Just like all my FM24 custom tactics, this custom direct counterattack tactic is of two versions which are:

• Classic 3-5-2 version

• Asymmetric 4-1-4-1 version

The classic 3-5-2 version will be discussed in this post, while the second version will be discussed in the article that follows this one. The team that I tested this tactic with, is Go Ahead Eagles of the Dutch Eredivisie. With no further additions, let’s get into the details of this incredible tactic.
