Trying to Replicate Klopp's Liverpool ( 2020 edition)

[paracoolo]

Based on this video:

 

To begin with;

The Buildup:

As you see here, Allison really often goes short and passes to the defenders mostly.

But sometimes we can find fabinho dropping in between the cb or wijnaldum acting like a 3rd cb:

The 19/20 Liverpool team are a very vertical team, looking to attack quickly and often.

The team utilizes overloads often and let the wingbacks(+VVD) send diagonals and long balls 

     

 in FM terms that would mean focusing play down left and right.

Attacking Shape:

Liverpool when attacking are really fluid, down the left firminho can often come deep to prevent the opposition's midfielders to follow Wijnaldum's left wing  run:

Henderson would sometimes find himself to be the most wide player on the right side while Trent attempts early crosses:

He would also try underlapping runs to try and take marker off salah to allow him to cut infield:

And when both WIjnaldum and Henderson would hold position, the wingbacks would go higher up and send some early crosses to both mané and salah and Firmino who would arrive late:

so it would form a 2-3-5 shape

Also, the front three would often roam and roam around inside the box and Klopp would allow the Wingbacks to cross as much as they want, allowing room to failure.

When they would need to score in some important games, Wijnaldum would often find himself making runs late to receive a cross from trent( or robbo)

When the ball is central, Firmino would often come deep to give flick-ons to either mané or salah:

And so, I will try to replicate this tactic in fm24:

This is what I've gone with:

I've decided to change the Trent role to FB-SU and add ( get further forward+ more direct pass,take more risks , dribble less, sits narrower, run wide with ball,cross more often,cross more deep) and he stays more deep in the build up kinda like trent. I love it.

Also theres no role that emulates the Henderson role so I decided to go with a CM-SU with ( run wide with the ball, roam from position, mark tighter, stay wider)

Wijnaldum role : VOL-SU ( Move into channels)

Robbo role: FBAT - Stay wider, More direct passes,Run wide with the ball

VVD role: CD-DE : More direct Passes

Other cd-de : take fewer risks

IF-AT ( Mané role): Pass  it shorter , roam , sits narrower

DLF-SU ( FIrmino role): Pass it  shorter, roam

W-AT( Salah role): Cuts inside,pass it shorter, roam

Here's the tactic
