[La Liga Non-EU registration rules]

You can have how many foreigners you want but to register for playing for La Liga, until 3 years. And each league has own registering/playing rules, even the youth teams. 

Alright thank you!

[La Liga Non-EU registration rules]

Have a question but can't seem to find the answer. In La Liga I know that you can only REGISTER 3 Non-EU players for your first team, however if I sign a young Non-EU prospect, can I put him in my youth team where he will gain Spanish citizenship in 2 years? Are there any consequences to this?

Thanks!

Very consistent against defensive sides, we tend to score two or three against them, home and away. Defensive sides tend to pack the box with players, but we're okay with that because our side is full of big, aggressive players who do well competing for crosses. We do really well from set pieces too, which helps. 

Interesting, sounds good!

Great post, how do you find it did against more defensive sides?

Have you thought of playing a Mezzala instead of the CM-S? Just noticed that they have similar PIs.

Very nice post, especially the in game screen caps to really drive the tactic home. Great work!

Do you find that the support midfielder and the IW-A sometimes get in each others way? I've experimented with the support midfielder on the same side as the W-A and the IWB-S behind him and i find the movement to be much nicer.

Fantastic post

First off, your team instructions are not bad for what you're trying to achieve. I can see your thought process there. The only change I would make is to remove overlap left as the FB-S will not naturally overlap with the IW. Second off, your lone striker is on Attack duty which means he's going to be isolated considering you have no other attack duties around him. I would change Gouiri to a more supporting role (i.e. DLF-s or PF-s, whatever suits his attributes.) and I would add an attack duty to one of your wingers as well the opposite fullback. It could look something like the screenshot below. I also added an Attack duty from midfield to give some variety to your attack.

Considerably less than AF. 

 

Roles - including the winger - are not so one-dimensional as people often tend to believe. While the primary responsibility of a winger (role) is to provide width up front an deliver crosses into the box, he will not do only that all the time. Roles - like instructions btw - are more like tendencies, rather than being set in stone. A winger - especially on attack duty - can often end up as one of top goal-scorers in your team (even though it's not what you primarily expect from him). The whole context is important. 

Ah okay, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

@Urbiscuit18Would you have any tips for improving it?

 

If it was me, I’d start with no instructions and watch a game in comprehensive highlights and tweak from there. What type of style are you aiming for here?

[Recommendations for this tactic]

Wow that’s a lot of instructions. How is it performing?

FBat     CDde   CDde    IWBsu

SKsu/de

As you can see, I bolded the roles/duties I've changed. 

First, why did I change the striker from AF into PF on attack? Well, AF as a lone striker tends to struggle when denied space. And when you play against defensive sides, he is not likely to have enough space to take advantage of. PF on attack is a simpler role, somewhere between the DLF and AF, and works well when paired with a winger on attack. That's why I set the AMR to attack duty, with a supporting mezzala behind him to serve as a quasi-PM on that side. IWB on support is then supposed to offer support from behind and help recycle possession as a quasi DM/CM.

 

Would the PF-A not get a bit isolated? Since his only immediate support is the W-A and he’s just trying to bust to the byline to cross.

[Arrigo Sacchi's 4-4-2 (Very Fluid)]

My current tactic is based on Ranieri's 4-4-2 with Leicester and Sacchi is of course one of his biggest influences. In fact, my tactic is more of a hybrid between the two as it is more multi-focused and I play out the back unlike Ranieri's team which is more direct.

How's this working out for you now? PS I was a huge fan of your original Sacchi thread.
