Here's a set-up I really like.
Just to quickly explain the thinking:
I've always found it difficult to get the AI to make angled runs. 'Wing Rotation' and 'False Wingers' are great tactics to use in order to create movement, but 'Wing Rotation' always forces your CF out wide, and 'False Wingers' forces you to play with 3 up front.
But what if you want to play 1 up front? Or you don't want your CF running out towards the wing all the time? Well, this might help:
What this does is 'Wing Rotation' forces the AMF to make runs out wide to create space and the CMF will fill the gaps created by these runs, but by using Anchoring on the CF it keeps him in the center (you can, of course, use two CMFs if you prefer).
The two defensive tactics are entirely optional. I use them as-and-when I need them - if I'm under pressure, turn on Deep Defensive Line, if I'm dominating, I turn on Counter Target for the CF. If you prefer to use Gengenpress or something, go right ahead!
The important thing for this to work is your AMF needs a lot of stamina and two good feet (unless you don't mind subbing him off all the time). Someone like Christian Eriksen is great for this with his 92 stamina and 4* weak foot, but you may prefer someone who is a little bit quicker. It's also useful to have a CMF with good shot power and stamina, as he too makes a lot of runs and I find he ends up with a lot of chances (someone like Pogba).
The free kicks imo are fine, they are too easy, but the mechanism is perfect, there nothing wrong with the setup.
We need better wind resistance next year. That will add proper difficulty to free kicks The problem is once you catch it right its too predictable, wind resistance will add proper variables.
These look great.
Interesting that you've put a fair few to defend "wide". I'm never sure I fully understand wide and centre.
However I've noticed less resistance in middle of park with wide.
Would love to know your thinking/findings on this...
Cheers
why would you place one of the fullback as a midfielder when in possession?
Its really important, its how a team marks the opposition off the ball and sets the objective to how you want to defend.
For wide, its about your team intercepting passes out wide, this works with competitiveness with spreading your teams shape wide if you have a 4-5-1 or 4-3-3
For center its the opposite essentially, works best with two striker 4 at the back systems.
Would you suggest using the Anchor trait on that RB as a RM to keep him from coming inside?I used to do this a lot, its to represent how aggressive the full back is going forward. Kyle Walker is a machine, hes literally an express train and motors up and down the flank very aggressively. I did the same with Liverpool and Robertson. You can change it back so he's not a RM if you want. I know about the issue where the AI subs on a midfielder for him, happened for years, thing is fullbacks seem to get tired regardless if you set 'Attacking Fullbacks" on and at times the CPU sticks an adaptable midfielder there or CB even if you leave them as full backs.
Would you suggest using the Anchor trait on that RB as a RM to keep him from coming inside?
I see. So if you have the cpu with 433 and set the defensive focus to centre, do the midfield three not cover the width of the pitch very well?
So 442 better with centre and 3 man midfield better with wide?
Thanks Klashman! Great tactics!
We need a genuine who can do some scripts to "inject" these into any edit file! Doing them manualy is tedious!
Welcome back and thank you. This is absolutely crucial for me. As a semi-professional scout tactics and formations are all I see these days lol. The difference in playing with your tactics set-up is night and day, I must have spent hours applying them manually after every update last year.
Something I noticed this year is that the false 9 advanced tactic seems more visible this year. I played against Liverpool with your tactics and false nine added (counter target for Salah as well) and I loved seeing Firmino drop deep and making play. I also tried the false nine tactic for some default times I tinkered with and it looks more relevant in-game than last year.
I edited a few teams and saved but when going to a match the tactics and formations are back to default. Any ideas?
