BountyHunter1989 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I recently created a Barcelona like tactic for Football Manager. I am back and doing it again, this time for Football Manager Handheld! Who better to test with then Barcelona themselves but we shall get to that a little later. Firstly lets take a look at the shape. Thank you Ross for the pitch and player psd, allowing me to create the tactic for show. I went for this shape purely because of the way Barcelona channel most of their attacks down the right. Alves (DMR) Xavi (MCR) and Messi (FCR) are the focal point of all Barcelona forward moves. Maxwell (DL) Is allowed freedom of the left flank with Iniesta (MCL) and Pedro (AML) coming more central giving us the very lopsided way Barcelona play. Team Instructions: Mentality: Balanced Passing: Short Tackling: Normal Pressing: Yes Offside Trap: Yes Counter Attack: No Men Behind Ball: No Playmaker: Xavi Messi (or players in their position) Player Instructions: Passing: All Short except MCR Mixed Tackling: All Team Pressing: All Team Pass To: All R/L/C Set Pieces: Default Free Role: All No except FCR Yes Forward Runs: DL, DMR, AML, FC, MCL and FCR Yes the rest no Run With Ball: AML and MCL Yes the rest No Hold Up Ball: FC, DMC and MCR Yes, the rest No Long Shots: All No Though Balls: FC, DC, DC, GK No, the rest Yes Cross Ball: DL, DMR, AML and FCR Yes, The rest No Marking: GK None. DL, DMR, MCL, AML, FC and FCR Zonal. DC, DC, DMC and MCR Man. So I have my shape and instructions in place, now to testing. I set up like Barcelona do in real life. GK - Valdes DL - Maxwell DCR - Puyol DCL - Pique DMR - Alves DMC - Mascherano MCL - Iniesta MCR - Xavi AML - Pedro FC - Villa FCR - Messi And the results from the 15 games are as follows: (A) 0-0 Sevilla (H) 1-0 Sevilla (A) 1-0 Osasuna (H) 5-1 Hercules (H) 2-0 Marseille (A) 1-1 Deportivo (H) 4-1 Malaga (A) 2-1 Racing (A) 2-0 Debrecen (H) 1-0 Villareal (A) 1-0 Almeria (H) 3-0 Rubin (H) 3-0 Mallorca (A) 2-0 Sevilla (A) 2-0 Sporting I have only tested this with Barcelona, so there is no saying it will work as effectively with smaller clubs. Please feel free to try it for yourself, I would love to hear how it works for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
