Love this! What mentality, shape, TI/PIs will you use?

I like this website a lot. It's very heavy but it's an encyclopedia of FM theory. https://www.guidetofm.com/

I might have missed it but what is your overall mentality and shape? Standard/Flexible or?

Is your AP off set to the right of the CF S?

I've followed this post (like many) and love @Ö-zil to the Arsenal! 's stuff. I've played around with the original formation a bunch and found a new take that is really working for me. I love the Cruyff Diamond and think this really is a great representation for FM18. It very much holds the Diamond and shifts nicely from a 3-6-1 type shape in defense and transition to a 3-3-4 in attack. PIs: Everyone with the exception of the middle CD is set to "Mark Tighter" SK S = Distributes to CD Off Center CD's = Fewer Risky Passes AM A = Move Into Channels, Hold Up Ball Both IF A = Stay Wider F9 S = Roam from Position

Taking a shot! Here's my take: As for PI's: GK - None CWBs - None CDs - Tackle Harder, Mark Tighter HB - Tackle Harder, Mark Tighter CAR - None AM - Mark Tighter, Fewer Risky Passes, Move Into Channels, Hold Up Ball, Mark DM CF S - Mark Tighter, Move into Channels CF A - Mark Tighter Most of the TI's/PI's are designed to create and fast counter-attack (Pass into Space, Move into channels) and a good defensive press (Close down more, Get Stuck In, Use tighter marking). AM marking the DM should help with a high press

These look very cool. What TI, PI, Structure, and Mentalities do you use for these?

I think it's a cool set up. Do you have any team instructions or player instructions?

This is for ‘17 but still works

Looks like all three fields require an answer @goqs06

Mi espanol no es genial, pero empezaria con also como esta ... una defensa solida con presionar a los delanteros para ganar la pelota y contadores rapidos 4-4-2 (Centrocampista derecho como centrocampista defensivo derecha) Contador/Estructuardo TI: Jugar Narrower GK = GK D RFB = FB A RCD = CD D LCD = CD D LFB = FB A RM = IW S RDM = DLP D LCM = BWM S (PI: Carrar Mas) LM = IW S RST = DF S (PI: Carrar Mas) LST = DF S (PI: Carrar Mas) Esto es solo una suposición de mi parte después de mirar un par de artículos. Creo que este sería un buen punto de partida.

@Ö-zil to the Arsenal! Love to see you back posting! The new formation is very interesting. Care to share your TI's, PI's, Mentality, and Structure?

One can only hope. 🧙‍♂️
