What is possible replicating in Guardiola's philosophy?

[cristhianlinhatti]

Hello everyone!

Since read this post, four years ago, i try replicate all ideas inside my game - the posicional play.

So, i am frustrated for four years. And my hope is in each new version, but i stay frustrated. 

Again and again.

My idea at this post is discuss concepts of positional play sucessfuly aplicated in the FM. And show this masterpiece analysis.

When it comes to positional play, @04texag has a popular thread on the subject, so he might be able to help you with some advice

Take a look at this, describes the principles of positional play perfectly, not entirely difficult to transfer to FM either.

Here is my thread @Experienced Defender was referencing. in the first post is a link to my more in depth tactical series on positional play. Two good reads if you have the time for it.

The article is pretty lengthy, so I admittedly jumped down to the bullet points but as a whole it looks reasonably achievable, sans a couple of points maybe, in this current match engine.

The concept of overload and isolate is central to Pep's philosophy no matter which of his three teams you are trying to replicate. I've been messing with overloads since FM19. I had mixed results before. But finally with current version I think overloads have become consistently achievable. So replicating Guardiola's tactics is definitely possible in FM21. My most recent tactic resembles somewhat the style that Pep employed at Bayern with inverted wingbacks and overloads on the wings. Hopefully this can help you:
