Carno
This is a new shape I am trying out and have found some success within my testing league. The idea is to find a three at the back tactic that will provide high output scoring with overloads in the middle. Name comes from the Carnotaurus which I feel like resembles this shape as the goal is just to eat the other team alive and the shape of the Attacking Midfield Reminds me of the bull horns of the Carno.


Test Format
Collaborated with StickPiano to share a testing database. Top 20 teams in the world, 76 game season, no continental or domestic cup competitions, all teams have injuries and suspensions wiped at the start of the test. Upper mid-table Inter and lower mid-table Napoli were used for the tests to most closely mirror Team A and Team B in the FM-Arena tests.

Results



One of the keys to this tactic as well are trying to find IWa that are able to use both feet as you will find them moving out wide and sending crosses in towards the middle.

Find pace and jumping/heading ability in the middle as they will be receiving a lot of crosses.

Please let me know feedback or your test results would love to see others using strikerless this season.
