Sarriball14 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Hi guys, Currently in a save with Ajax, and im looking to develop some sort of pep tactic with them. Part of the reasoning behind this is because ive always wanted to use inverted wing backs and this can help with a nice defensive shape allowing the 2cms to push up and join the attack. Going forward i feel we are somewhat there with want i want to see. Defensively however we seem to be conceding fairly often and i cant quite put my finger on why. The tactic struggles in general in europe but our group has R Madrid, Chelsea and Monchengladbach. Below is a screenshot of the tactic (no PI) and the shape im looking for in attack but defensively not there yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pep is more of a tiki-takish manager, which requires a system with more fluidity and more dynamic interplay between roles in the system. Your team instructions may suit Pepstyle, but the setup of roles and duties runs counter to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply, the reasoning behind the wingers on attack was to occupy the wide channels but also get in the box when needed. What happens with both wingers at the moment is exactly that! Both wingers are contributing heavily with goals and assists. With the IWBs on both sides coming inside I need width high up the pitch. But I do agree with you it does remove that fluidity that’s needed. What suggestions would you recommend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
