It'sYourTactics Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 This is how I have set up my Luton Town team. My Formation: TM(s) P(a) W(a) CM(d) AP(a) WM(s) FB(s) CD(d) BPD(d) FB(a) Mentality: Standard then Control/Counter depending on the situation Shape: Structured My TIs: 1. Lower tempo 2. Prevent short GK dist. 3. Close down less My PIs: TM: Tackle harder Close down much more P: Move into channels W: Close down more Tackle harder Cross aim TM More direct CM Dribble less Fewer risky passes Tackle harder AP Get further forward More direct passes WM Sit Narrower Cross less often Left FB Close down more Fewer risky passes Sit Narrower Cross less often CD No Instructions BPD No Instructions Right FB Close down more Cross aim TM Run wide with ball Problem #1 So,I took charge at Luton Town in League 2 with 11 games left and have played 4 matches(W-1,L-1,D-3) so far. The 3-0 loss came away to Portsmouth on my second day of charge and I am not to concerned with that. In the next 3 games defensive performances improved(conceded 2,both from set pieces) but our play in the final third has been less than encouraging. The players are moving well and taking up good positions but the final ball is always poor.It's either rushed and wayward or the buildup is too slow and allows the opposition defenders to steal the ball away. I am quite sure that I am doing something wrong here and I need some help from you guys. Problem #2 Long throws into the box is a huge problem for me.How do you defend against them? Problem #3 Is there anyway to stop my keeper from taking free kicks which are given beyond the area? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasilli07 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Problem #1 Some of your PIs could be a problem. Your LFB with PIs seems to be a limited FB role. What's your WM role with his PIs? Is he suppose to be an IF/Raumdeuter at a deep midfield position? With 2 players upfront, you may want to consider having more players crossing into the box. At the moment, you have only 2(W and RFB). Probably remove the cross less from your LFB and LWM so that they have the option of crossing it from a deeper position. Problem #2 The setup to defend a long throw is the same as corner. If your setup of defending corner is good enough, it shouldn't cause you too many problems. Problem #3 I doubt so.

It'sYourTactics Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thanks for your input vasilli07,I'll do that and see how things go.And I want my WM to play a bit narrower and provide a passing option for both the right sided FB and the AP in possession and help maintain the shape without it.

Miravlix Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 #3 No. #2 In my experience it's all about the quality of your players, most of the time one of my players just go and heads the ball, I don't get long throws anyway, most of the time they only reach the edge of the box and all the opposition players is standing on the other side of the goal, way out or range of the throw. Same with corners, most is to the near post that my defender heads away every time. Possible because my defenders is better than the attackers, so the game generate stupid looking animations.
