  1. Same here - youth recruitment went from 5/8 to 4/8.

    I made two requests on the same day...at first increasing the junior coaching budget was rejected, then improving the youth recruitment was accepted. Junior coaching was accepted then, too, after i discussed it - here everything was ok (4/7 to 5/7).

    Here´s a save where I can reproduce it directly...Save game name: "H96 Board Request"

    Looking for a team where I can ultilise a gegenpressing style of play. Ideally in a European league, and a top half team. I want the players to have good work rate, determination, teamwork and fitness levels. No German teams please. 

    Atalanta Bergamo. They ARE gegenpressing. :D

  3. There is no really chance to get your "superstar" there I think. In a classic 4-2-3-1, the players with the best stats are the AMR / AML, because they have the space they need...my AMC position gets his chances for assists and goals, too, but the glory old time of "10s" is over. So my AMC is important for my pressing, my first defender who attacks the deep playmakers of the enemy.

    Wow. Really great tactic, thank you!

    Most goals (38), least conceded (8), most clean sheets (14), 57% Avg. Possession (3rd), 85% passing accuracy (3rd), 88% tackling completion (3rd)...with a team which was 6th in the season preview (Odds 6,00). 

    Playing a wonderful football even now with the "vanilla team"...I'm looking forward to the action with better players.  :)

    We won the league with 84 points. Second year - second promotion, 2nd place in Zweite Bundesliga with 72 points. Fantastic! Hello Bundesliga, the only winner of an international competition in GDR's history (Cup Winners' Cup 1974) is giving his debut.

    Fantastic post AceAvenger! I´ll try to awake another fallen East-German giant - Magdeburg is calling.

    It will mostly mitigate the problem in terms of defensive vulnerability, but such setup would not be optimal attacking-wise. Here is what it would look like:

    DLFsu

    IFat                                 Wsu

    CMat   DLPsu

    DMde

    FBsu    CDde   CDde   WBat

    As i said, in a purely defensive sense - this is notably more solid that your initial setup.

    But the problem is how you create and use space when attacking, especially on the left side where you have 2 players looking to attack the box centrally but there could well be a shortage of effective support from out wide.

    On the right side, you now have both wide players in crossing-heavy roles. Which is okay if you want to play a style that largely relies on crosses (like wing-play), but judging from your instructions - you does not seem to want that.

    Fortunately, the problem can be easily solved by just one more swap:

    DLFsu

    IFsu                                    Wat

    DLPsu    CMat

    DMde

    FB/WBat    CDde    CDde     FBsu

    This kind of setup would make a lot more sense. It still does not mean that you should play exactly like that. Because some degree of increased defensive risk is still there (mainly on the right flank), so a lot depends on how able your players are to handle that risk. But you can give it a try anyway and see if and how it works for your team.

    I think the best idea is to start with no instructions out of possession (both DL and LOE on standard), especially if your CBs aren't fast and/or intelligent enough. Opposition shots from distance are more likely to be the problem when you play on a lower defensive line (although this does not depend solely on the defensive line setting, but the tactic as a whole). 

     

    Thanks a lot again...I'll try it in a new save. A Half Back instead of the DMde would gain a little bit more defensive stability, or?

     

    Toonrock: I think my team is not good enough for super-gegenpress. But perhaps it will be it in a few years. ;)

    Maybe it's partly due to the "bad team", but is primarily about the tactic.

    Just look how defensively exposed your right flank is - both WB and CM on attack duties.

    At the same time, the left flank is pretty much the opposite - a bit too conservative.

    So your both flanks are problematic, although in different ways - the right one overly vulnerable, and the left one lacking wide support in the final third. 

    Plus, given the reputation of your team, instructions such as counter-press, play out of defence and work ball into box are also potentially risky - for different reasons and to varying degrees, but anyway risky. 

     

    Okay, thank you. Would a simple change in the CM - CMa to the left position, DLPSu to the right - solve this problem? Simplifying the TIs like you said makes sense...whats about my Defensive Line? Is a high one okay with CDs which only have Pace 10-11? I'm afraid that a standard line will give the opponent too many shots from the distance - and these are very dangerous in this FM.

    Frukox: thank you too - I will try a counter tactic like this vs. the teams from Glasgow, which seem to play two leagues above us.
