[The Art of Possession Football]

If I may be so bold, I'd like to query your ideas with a couple of questions.

I know you say attack duties just increase the risk taking of a role and you can make a perfectly good tactic without them as you obviously have here. But the lack of attack duties between your midfield and forward line goes against alot of what is usually advised here. .. even by you. It just seems like besides your defender, there's no one really breaking lines here. Breaking lines is the key point here. .. which wwfan bangs on alot about. Even in real life possession teams, you usually have at least 2 outfield players consistently breaking lines in a way that you can only achieve with an attack duty in my opinion.

Secondly, it just seems like with the roles n duties of your frontline, they all want to occupy the same space in possession. They are all #10 type of roles looking to create and make passes but nobody really looking to consistently take advantage of them. And I think you have infact advised along these lines in your 'what makes a goalscorer' thread.

There's is also the fact that there is really nobody holding here. It just seems like the same kind of critique of a tactic I'd get from you or any of the mods if I posted a tactic like this with the same role and duty selection regardless of what type of style I was trying to achieve.

Having IF on support doesn't mean that he won't go on attack, it means that he has 2 jobs to do: when the team has the ball help them with transition until they reach attacking third. When that happens he'll be more focused on attack but still may offer support if necessary. If you take a close look on PI for IF on support, you'll see what he's supposed to do.

Get forward is gray which means sometimes. Sometimes is not equal to NEVER, right? But you can change that by ticking that option so he'll do that much often then determined by duty and still be involved in transition phase. Hope that makes sense.

One more thing: having IF or W on support is not a strict rule! It will depend on situation. Sometimes when you play against the team that parks the freakin' TRUCK then you have to use more offensive duties to break them.
