An Aussie playing 1:3:3:3 sacrilege !
Do you mean you are playing with three in midfield and three up front with a back four. Are those back four playing three as man markers and a dedicated sweeper or are the central defenders sharing the marking and sweepig roles?
What is the role of your centre midfield player. A freer role as in Europe playing at times as a support forward or a traditional back of the gap Aussie Centre half? Two attacking midfield players (RM and LM) or two holders to balance the free role at centre midfield?
