Zoetermeer Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I think the tactic analysis portion of opposing team reports needs to be improved. We get a graph showing most common formations and how many goals scored/conceded per each one, but it doesn't really tell us much about the actual formation the team uses. For example, a report on Man City tells me they use the 4-2-3-1 most often, but I suspect they actually use a narrow one with no wingers as opposed to the "usual" setup with two wingers and the AMC. This makes a big difference in match preparation. Ditto for the 4-5-1 -- that name can be used to describe many different actual formations (flat 5 with wide mids, central triangle with dm and two mc's, etc.). It would be nice to see an actual graphic, similar to the one on the match preview screen, showing player positions in a team's commonly used formations.

marty78 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 One thing you can do is view a match when they played opposition at a similar level to yourself and see how they set up. You don't have to watch the match just check the formation and line-up etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
