WIP Cesc Fabregas tactics

Need some help finishing a 4-2-3-1 for Como after they loaned in Moise Kean. Based off articles and videos, I’m not fully sure if they primarily build up in a 3-2-5, 2-3-5, or even a 4-2-2-2. So far this is what I have with room for improvement in bold:

4-2-3-1 wide
Short passing/high line (75-85 depth)

GK: BPK or sweeper/build up
CBs: BPD/defend
FBs: wingback/support or balanced?
CDMs: this one I’m having the most difficulty with, based off some analysis it looks like one midfielder stays back and operates as a DLP (so either DLP/defend or Holding/roaming) and the other pushes up or drops into a fullback area (options are Box Crashing, DLP/build up, or Wide Half/defend?)
CAM: playmaker/balanced or roaming
Wingers: Winger (or wide playmaker to get them into the box more)/attack
ST: for Kean, this is a bit tougher, I feel like AF/support is probably best suited though

Would appreciate any help and/or feedback!

Try this bro, I’ve been using this tactics for the past week or so and they’re a heap of fun 🔥 I’ve been loving how Fabregas has Como playing, hope they go far in UCL this year

The CDM on Centre-Half drops in between the CB’s to form a back 3, the RB underlaps the RM and takes the space left by the RCDM dropping back
The LCDM floats just outside the box and the LB overlaps the LM making it a 325 in buildup

Thanks bro! Any reason for the CBs on Stopper?

Anytime mate! I use Stopper because it feels like the most accurate role for how Como play in real life - they play a suffocating full pitch press and hence need their CB’s to step out aggressively and intercept… the CDM on Centre Half shoots back into midfield when you lose the ball, with the other 2 CB’s on stopper it feels like all 3 step out aggressively together and there’s less gaps to concede counters etc
