Before anyone ask this is with a different tactic, but somewhat same principles.

nice mate impressive amount of points. Would you be able to post this tactic as well?

Thank you OJ, i've tried to replicate your tactic, and this is the first time that one of my teams ever get 70 percent possession in matches

Could you share your interpretation of the tactic? those stats look really good, and I can't get my team to be quite as good as that !

This is the tactic i have now.

Same old overkill story i use 4 seasons now, i change and i go back there again, but every movement now is like the player knows what to do and not like "its his position to be there, go there". CWBs are sensible, one IF bursts agressively (the left one) and the other (the right one) roams or receives for 1v1 after a combination in front of the box. Extremely decreased numbers of crosses, thank god! As you can see i used mixed things from your roles in the tactic and Yonko's too about the midfield, backs and if's. There are a lot of roams from position. Only IF(a), BPDs, GK and HB doent have that PI. The front tackle harder cause aggression is around 12. Both central midfield strata's have run wide with ball. It suits me better than stay wider cause they come very close to (especially)  the right flank, while with stay wider my AP for example would a little far for helping pres or contain the ball.

As you see i use hold shape too. Its the only one i didnt check in & out a lot in the tactic to see differences. Of course there have been some times a counter didn't happen but not sure if decision or movements of supporting attackers didn't go well.

What are your player instructions my friend?

I have realized that and I'm currently gaining the possession numbers I want (61%) and winning every game so far in the first 5 games of the premier league. This is my current starting set up:

Notice the support roles compacting the middle and especially the 3 playmakers in the middle keeping the ball masterfully, in my view currently they're playing like a Guardiola team by getting the most touches and combinations between them 3. This system is a 5 man split block press (top 5 players), and indeed it has a lot of PIs and players with traits to counter act the one dimensional roles.

When I don't start the first 10 mins with the possession percentage I want, I do a few changes step by step. First max the LOE, then defend wider, then max pressing urgency, then lower tempo one notch, then mark the player making the most passing combinations. These steps work 9/10 times so far it seems. So far so good this season. 

Could you either include a download link or the player instructions please mate? Would love to try it out

Thanks. Experienced Defender,

It was to begin with, but I always alter heavily.

I have my own pure-possession tactic tonight, based on (nearly 30) years of experience and  I'm winning games but the possession stat is low against big or medium teams.

I've looked in  the sharing section but there seems to be an acceptance that possession tactics are obsolete, no-one even quotes percentages.

Could you share your pure possession tactic please?

Hi people I think I came across something here. After a long try and test I finally managed to play with manchester city in fm 19 a nice and successful football. With beautiful football I mean nice combinations and finally great passes in the room. It was definitely the best football I have played in this version and it was not easy being there fm 19 is not the best part for nice football. Here are some screenshots of my first season. Oh and sorry for my english.

Could you post the tactic then please mate?

I think I finally did it, thanks to the incredibly helpful tips in here. It's still not perfect but I think this is as far as I'll come in this ME.

I know this isn't unheard of with Bayern especially, but defeating Barca while trying to emulate Pep's crazy ideas will always be a highlight. 

It took a lot of time, but eventually I was able to figure out a tactic that gave me what I needed and wanted without having too many obvious flaws. This tactic will struggle against teams that park the bus because the 'Cross from Byline' PI is still busted and the Full Backs will just launch cross after cross from deep but that's not something I can fix as a player without SI adressing that in the ME. For now, I'm very happy and I just hope FM20 adresses the final few quirks that keep tactics like these from fully blossoming.

 

Cheers to everyone who shared their thoughts in here!

Thanks for sharing pal! Would you be able to either attatch a download link or share the player instructions as I can’t wait to test out this tactic and tinker with it! Thanks

@Gegenklaus Gave me a poke here.  If you and others have been seeing such issues, that's one thing.  Saying the reason for those problems lies squarely at the door of the ME is something else entirely and incorrect.  That's not to say there aren't issues with the ME (there are) but to say things are not possible...

ok, that's an extreme example, but I'm currently averaging above 65% possession and over 700 passes a match with plenty of goals scored/chances created.

As Klaus says, having a look at my current "tiki-taka" thread may be useful.

I’m begging you to show me the setup to achieve 900+ passes WHILST creating chances s fascinated to see how you’ve done it

Hello, I tried to imitate the pyramid of Pep Guardiola (2.3.5), I looked more than he was in Bayern München.

I think it's impossible to recreate exactly his tactic so I just tried to imitate and recreate the most important principes of Pep's philosophy.

 

SORRY for my english ( I'm french)

Could you translate the player roles into English please?
