[Two Decades of Football Manager: Tactical Re-enactments. Part 1 Mourinho's Chelsea [FM2005] and Part 2 Rijkaard's Barcelona [FM2006]]

two things:

 

1- the current Giuly's role is a Raumdeuter  he attack the space in all of matches , never received the ball at his feet

2- Ronaldinho was a clear AP , all of the Barça's attacks started with he, all of them

 

BTW,

 

great Job, thanks

hi to all

 

two simply and direct quests

thanks

[[FM22-Derby County] Why manage the Rams? How are you getting on?]

1st season half update

 

not bad league position , the survey is near

 

 

the income winter transfers

the outcome transfers (the FBL Forsyth was transfered for the chairman at the early season ,for this reason we can get a free tansfer FBL when the embargo was completed ,we got this lad because we have only lee buchanan at the FBL position)

our current star, we need a striker who scores since the 1st day,because Derby current team hasnt have a simply Goalscorer , i think Gabriel is the correct man he is loaned from Bayer Munich 

 

next step , end of 1st season review , i will write about this in the next days

[FM21 Both strikers do terrible]

your problem it's your striker is very isolated and takes pointless shots , try change the if(a) to iw (a) , because the if is another goal threat  , the striker needs who someone supply the ball in dangerous areas , and try to change the bbm at who that recycle the ball like dlp (s) or mc (s) ,because your other mc is a runner you need someone to take and pass the ball (in this moment youre 0 players to doing this) ,to add more defend protect change the dlp(d) to mc(d) , this changes wil add more midfield move , and push one of the fb at attack dutty ; all of this changes help at your striker to isolated troubles and help to take good decisions.

 

test and share your experience.

[442 diamond - midfield configuration]

hace 17 horas, Cleon dijo:

 

This is how I play. We build up with the defence and then either they bring the ball forward or pass to the DLP. The DLP recycles possession and is a way of linking the defence to midfield or to play the wing-backs in who are advancing down the wings. This is why he's on a defensive duty not because he leaves the DM area but more so he stays deep and can be the architect pulling all the strings. It means he usually has lots of space between him and the players in front of him. If I was playing a higher line or higher pressing then 100% he would be on a support duty so there wasn't a giant gap. A giant gap/staggered players in the midfield in an aggressive system can see gaps open up which you can't defend and make it easy for the opposition to play through. So in aggressive systems I want the midfield to act as a unit.

The midfield I want every single one of them to offer something different and attack/support different areas. This provides variety and means if the supply to the AP (or any player for that matter) is cut off my game plan doesn't fall flat. I still have other ways of attacking. The Mezzala is the aggressor and often gets in the box. He helps create central overloads, is a goal threat, runner from deep and can support attacks by carrying the ball and playing people in. The box to box midfielder is similar but less aggressive and because he's on a support duty starts way further back. So when we do attack him and the Mez move at different paces meaning we have a staggered attack. Add to this the AP who can retain possession, recycle it and be a creative nightmare in the final third because he has two deep runners from midfield. And has the strikers beyond him too depending on the phase of play.

I want the strikers to work hard. This means a role like Advanced forward doesn't really work because of how I play. Not because the AF is lazy or anything but look at the settings it comes with and you'll see that the PF is a lot more of a 'worker' role. Dropping off, pressing, hassling defenders, being aggressive. A bit like a Jack Russell dog snapping at your legs with out the ball or annoying you when they do have the ball. It disrupts the oppositions defence and makes it hard for them to predict movement. It makes it easier for the midfield to break through the defensive line and assist the strikers.

hi @Cleon,

 

a quick quest

 

if the DLF drops to AM space, how do you get that the DLF and the AP do not occupy the same space (because both are in (S) dutty ?

 

thanks
