The Art of Possession Football
The Dandy Dons replied to Cleon's topic in Tactics, Training & Strategies Discussion
All my forwards are on supporting roles. Would dropping the mentality or the DL be advisable or harm the possession? -

I just can't score enough. The amount of times my attacking full back gets up in a position and then waits and gets tackled is irritating. Possession isn't a problem, but I just don't create anything. Once I get within 25 yards, my players are already on the edge of the box and it's just a cycle before it's chucked back to the DMC and then out to the full back and lost. It's so predictable. My B2B MC is generally the guy with the most shots while my forwards hardly get a sight of goal. Need a lot of tweaking on my attempt -

I noticed that my front three only made up 9 of those shots but only put 3 on target. Schneiderlin, my B2B, was the top shooter and that came from just having effort on the edge of the box which isn't what I want. I actually had the IF(S), F9 and AP(S) as my front three anyways as with Memphis, Martial or Barbosa(can't remember who started) and Mata suit that in my opinion. I switched Mata to a W(S) to try and hold width a bit more later on but it didn't really help. Would you advise dropping mentality, or unchecking the higher defensive line? I had a DM(S) and B2B and an AP(A) in midfield. -

I actually had something very similar set up, but I just can't create enough. Facing teams that are usually quite happy to camp in their box, is there anyway to try and get the final pass. I was thinking about moving the IF to an attacking role but don't want him moving away from his full-back and getting too far forward. There just seems to be a lack of a little bit of flair and I'm not really sure where my goals will come from. I'm tempted to move the shape to fluid to try and encourage a little bit more invention but I don't want to lose out on the possession. An example was my last game wh -
I have seen a couple of screenshots showing the roles that the opposition play. Is that related to a skin, or is it an option I can check in the game? In 15 I could also go to the profile of the team and it would show me their last starting eleven and their roles. Can someone help me with setting this up again?

Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong here? I'll try and explain what I want from the tactic. I want one midfielder to be a destroyer that can also feed the ball up top when the opportunity presents, but usually find a safer ball. The other midfielder a more expansive playmaker. I want the left AML to be a inside forward of sorts but offer some unpredictability to be able to go down the line and swing in crosses. With Insigne being good with either foot I feel he should be able to do this. The AMR and more direct inside forward. The AMC should be a classic play making 10 (Ozil, Gotze, Isc

Manchester United's 4-4-2 of 2007-2008
The Dandy Dons replied to kevin3's topic in Tactics, Training & Strategies Discussion
Can't believe I have missed this thread, especially as the 08 Utd team is one of my favourite teams, and I have also tried to create it before on FM. I will certainly look back at this thread, and maybe have a look at trying this again. Top work.
