[Pressing Traps : How does ME implement it ?]

So what I’ve done is set pressing trigger always on full backs / wing backs and wide attackers or midfielders, whilst playing fairly narrow and narrow defensive line so they have to go round outside.   Any central midfielders / attacking midfielders or central defenders I’ve set to show onto weaker foot.   
 

The reason I’ve not gone with marking instructions is that Jesse Marsch system is not about pressing the opposition players but more ball orientated pressing.  I don’t believe they mark tightly but I could be wrong. 
 

My team is set to counter press. 
 

Still testing and very early on so we shall see how it goes.  Definitely noticed I’m winning possession a lot more through pressing than previously though. 

[Pressing Traps : How does ME implement it ?]

I’m looking to replicate my own version of Jesse Marsch (Red Bull Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg) , specifically team pressing and pressing traps 

 

“Different triggers include loose touches, bad body positioning/orientation, side passes (that gain no superiority). Players should understand the concept of how these sequences can create potential advantages when defending, with the aim of recovering possession as early as possible”

 

 

My question is this:  if I set up pressing traps and have team set to counter press will the team do this all the time or wait for the above triggers ? 
 

I will be looking to set pressing traps on the flanks in opposition instructions so will be looking to force the opponent wide whenever possible to create opportunity to set the pressing trap in motion.   The pressing trap will be a collective effort.  When one goes then they all go.  This will be initiated by the nearest player to the ball.    The pressing style is ball orientated   
 

How best would this be setup in the match engine ? 
 

I’ll be looking to play a 442 with inverted wingers in the AML and AMR positions, a 4222  or a 4312 though as Jesse Marsch says formation is not so important but more the principles within it (he has used more than 10 different formations).  
 

 

 

[How to setup Nagelsmann 3421 Tactic with RBL?]

My thoughts on the setup are as follows:

MENTALITY: positive 

IN POSSESSION:

play out of defence

low crosses 

work ball into box

focus play through middle 

Underlap right and underlap left 

higher tempo 

very narrow
 

IN TRANSITION:

Counter, Counter-press

OUT OF POSSESSION:

higher defensive line

higher line of engagement 

extremely urgent

prevent short GK distribution 

FORMATION AND PLAYER ROLES:

GK: sweeper keeper - support 

DCR: ball playing defender - defend 

DC: Libero support

DCL: ball playing defender - defend 

WBR: wing back - attack

WBL: wing back - attack 

MCR: box to box midfielder - support

MCL: central defender - defend 

AMCR: attacking midfielder - attack (stay wider)

AMCL: shadow striker - attack (stay wider)

STC: pressing forward - support

NB: to negate an excessive amount of long shots everyone apart from STC is on shoot less often instruction  

WHAT I AM LOOKING TO ACHIEVE:

To replicate the verticality of RBL whilst maintaining a good amount of possession.

To replicate the “forward back and through” approach into getting the ball forward quickly in transition.

To have multiple forward passing options available at all times.

To press high and aggressively  
 

 

So what are your thoughts on my approach ?  Any hints tips or changes you think I should employ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[How to setup Nagelsmann 3421 Tactic with RBL?]

Hi guys. Haven’t seen any threads on RBL in the Bundesliga and Nagelsmann tactical setup of 3421 recently employed and used in the European game vs Tottenham Hotspur.  
 

for me ,  playing football manager , I get enjoyment trying to replicate tactics that I’ve seen IRL so would love to implement this into FM20. 
 

has anyone tried to replicate this ?  I or have any advice or suggestions as to how I would do it ?
