2 of the central defenders have an x next to them

It means that they push up ahead of the Middle CB to win the ball. Hence they are stoppers, and this helps in the offside trap.

So, after i became bored of mauling opponents with this tactic, I've decided to embark on another massive project. Pep Guardiola has been earning plaudits with his "AMOEBA" tactic since the new season began.., the climax being his side's 1-7 masterclass away to AS Roma in the Champions' League. I've studied FC Bayern over the past few months and I've decided to recreate this tactic using Football Manager 2014. The thread will be up soon

the tactic is up

this was without set-pieces set-up and of course non-fluid. Yes didn't win but 8 ccc's is real nice!!
