  1. I would keep the midfield like you did so far. I’m hopeful the other changes should be enough to get you going initially but in the long run I think working on getting more talented back up is essential
  2. @shaunwwfc I glanced over the Wolves squad. I think only a few changes might help. Pondence has attributes that suit more an Inverted Winger role and Trincao has attributes that are perfect for the Inside forward role. Looking at Jimenez’s attributes then my opinion is that he would probably do better as a simple Deep Lying Forward when you implement pushed up wingers and keep his best role as a Pressing Forward when you are playing the 4-1-4-1 formation. Jimenez’s best role is Pressing Forward so you might want to keep him there until you have better options which will be kind of necessary to get this team into the master-class status. Coady is also a good Ball Playing Defender so that would also help in getting the ball into more dangerous areas at times that could also help create a few goals. Moutinho maybe needs to train his weaker foot and maybe avoid using his weaker foot as a trait.
  3. Hi Shaun These sets are ‘basic’ set ups where they usually need to be tweaked to suit your team. Striker roles are quite important along with players that are good in those roles. I’m not sure if you read the guidelines in the main thread where I give examples of Striker-partnerships or lone strikers, so if you haven’t then I personally think you should have a look. You can post your team over in that thread and maybe we can take a look and see what options you might have. Always worth a shot 👍
  4. Going back to the Wimbledon save we can take a few examples when you can use the Defensive Strategy effectively ... in this save (you can download it in the Tactic Sharing section) I used the Defensive Strategy a total of 3 times if I remember correctly. In the game against Sunderland who were predicted 1st in the league, my Wimbledon side were predicted 17th - so, that's close to the relegation position. Sunderland also have a huge reputation and my scouts assumed they would Attack (Strategy) against me and were massive favourites to win the match. Away against Aston Villa and away to Ipswich were also basically identical match scenarios. In these three games I used the Defensive Strategy quite effectively because these three teams really went for it and I managed to keep the shorelines close. In the Sunderland match I held on til the 80th minute where I kept the score within range and then went Very Attacking (All Out Attack) and managed to grab that late goal. I tried to do the same away to Villa but even with a man down I couldn't do much and the Ipswich game I just held on with Defensive Strategy throughout the game and snatched the point. These three match scenarios are typical situations where I would suggest the Defensive Strategy as a good option if I want to try and grab a result or keep the scoreline tight so I can maybe make some change late on and try to get back in or go even more defensive to hold the result (every point counts). After this point, with my result form in mind, opponents started to play more tactical as our team proved hard to beat so naturally I could venture higher up on the Strategy Ladder away from home. Even for Relegation battlers, if your result form is good, then most likely your opponents will not try to go into total attack mode so that's where it's a good idea to try and Counter Attack them. In the Wimbledon game I used all the strategies through the season to achieve the results in the save
  5. @loisvale Defensive strategy is basically only for those situations where you have a really poor team compared to your opponent and you are away from home. Your team is expected to be under immense pressure the whole match and your primary goal for the match is to try to stop your opponent as much as possible. If your team is good enough to actually give the opponent a good game (you have talented players) then I would use Cautious because you have more attacking options in the strategy - much more so than the Defensive Strategy. Very Defensive is only for the last ten minutes where your whole focus is to hang onto a result. If you are playing Positive Strategy away from home then and doing well then, for me, it looks like your team are in the Master-Class quality area.
  6. I have just uploaded the SirAlex and Conte sets in the download section for anyone that wants to try them out. Take a look at the screenshots and the loose explanations of them in this thread if you want to find out more about them and maybe how to use or tweak them.
  7. I usually do a 4-1-3-2 and a 4-3-1-2 set at one point. I'll put in a diamond one too. But here is a good chance to use some of those Water Carrier, Mez and Roaming Playmaker roles for sure.

  10. I was thinking of a good 4-4-2 as @coach vahid had requested earlier on in the thread. In England, the 4-4-2 used to be a fast paced Kick n' Rush style of football, but I remember Sir Alex Ferguson kind of changed that but still kept the basics of the tactical set-up. Instead he went a little more fast paced short passing so I am attempting to make something like this work. His goalkeeper choice was always something world-class but he stuck with a normal Goalkeeper instead of a Sweeper Keeper. Up front I think the Yorke/Cole strike partnership could be translated to the Deep Lying Forward / Advanced Forward ... Yorke being the DLF(Su) and Cole being the AF(At). Other combinations I am thinking is Rooney Pressing Forward (Su) and Tevez Trequartista (At) or Cantona Complete Forward (Su) and Cole Poacher (At). Usually SirAlex used a Deep Lying Playmaker (De) like Carrick and a Box to Box player like Scholes. As an Alternative instead of the Box to Box you can use a Ball Winning Midfielder (Su) like Roy Keane but I like the Box to Box in the 4-4-2 somehow as it adds something to the attacking movement. The BWM can be used in tricky matches or to tighten the strategy up a little. Also SirAlex tried to always get at least one total world-class Ball Playing Defender. SirAlex used Ronaldo on the Left Wing so you can put in an Inverted Winger but he also liked width so usually on the right he would most likely have the traditional winger to swing in some crosses. I tried with 2 IWs because with the team I am using as sometimes I didn't have alternatives - and it went fine as well, just different type of game. So below I will show some ideas and maybe could upload them sometime later on. The High Tempo is used to disrupt the opponent and try to take them by surprise and as I remembered it he also allowed some creative freedom - so make sure you have a good team if you want to play this way. You can always change the settings to better suit your team if you feel your team struggles with them. Also you can change passing to Direct and focus the game down he flanks, I've dabbled in all of these scenarios so as long as you make good strategy choices for the match then you should do better than worse...
