I’ve tried tirelessly and failed. Only pointers I could reccomend is try with a really good team first as it’s soul destroying attempting it with someone like Brighton in game.

Results look good for this one but I just don’t see from the match highlights that it’s anything like a de zerbi tactic. Almost no short passes between the centre backs and cdms, and very direct all the time. It’s a very tough recreation for sure.

Cheers everyone!! These all look interesting. Not what I was expecting, and I was failing miserably, so that’s a good sign.

I’m glad it’s not just me. Look forward to it.

Possession numbers good?

What does your tactic look like my friend?

How did you get on with this? Final product? I’ve been testing with Brighton and struggling a little bit. I have tried many different variations but the main things I try to recreate is the high possession numbers and beating the press with play through the middle four. Reslly struggling. About to give up lol.

Tested this out and it’s a cracker. Tons of flowing beautiful football. I’m seeing player animations I’ve never seen before.

Lovely. And both cbs on cover? Why dlf instead of false 9?

Oof exciting. You seem like a tactic guru. Don’t suppose you have a peps Barca tactic? 🤣I am shameless. I tried to get the de zerbi recreation working for so long, then moved peps barca. The possession stats away from home are making me so sad as it just doesn’t make sense to me. I watch the game and I have the ball the whole time then I watch extended highlights and percentage of possession is 50/50 lol. I know it’s me and not the game but sometimes I blame the game to help me sleep at night.

What’s the possession numbers like with this one? I really struggle for possession against 4231 away from home for some reason. This is with all tactics not this one specifically.

This looks very promising. Congrats!! Gotta be right up there with one of the hardest recreations with the current ME. look forward to seeing the rest.

@Kevinho7 How did your tactic turn out by the way? I’ve been doing a recreation of this as well recently.

Pass map and ppms look good. I was never able to to test it with tries to play way out of trouble which might be helpful for when the pivots are marked. focus play through the middle is a must for me but makes the tactic work really badly (most of the time). The left and right backs are just ball recyclers up until the final third normally, and without focus play they end up being the main deep passers.

It’s really difficult as you have to play low Tempo to bait the opposition with the bottom box and then somehow make the front four play like they are on a high tempo.

Interesting so you use ppms to make the inside forward more like wingers. Will take a look at this in game when I can.

Makes sense as the striker less one technically has four players that may make runs beyond the defence starting from deep which is helpful against defensive systems. I think yours is much more fun and realistic.

Yeah I’m the same. Can get by and win most games against poorer opposition but it’s really hard against the super teams to play a low tempo system with short passing and win unfortunately. Might not be the same for everyone though as you many people use higher tempos.

I think it’s the same for me to be honest. Pressing is almost non existent against 3 centre backs too which makes it so easy for them to pass over the top, and three centre back systems tend to have to strikers. So that’s not ideal lol

@1twoQearly signs suggest this is very promising. Good possesion stats too which is tough with getting all the concepts right.

You are totally right. I’m clutching a straws thinking this will suddenly work lol

Wow this looks very promising. It’s only gonna work if it’s an outside the box idea lol cheers mate!

Love how they are pretty much a winger and inside forward combined. They make runs in behind which I’ve hardly ever seen from an inside forward. you are definitely right about the end product. Sometimes get 5 CCCs a game and others 28 shots off target lol. what did you do about the AM sort of just being a tight marker instead of closing the opposition down? I’m asked him to man mark the cdm or other centre back to try and counteract this. I’ve tried to press like RDZ but it doesn’t seem to work at all. Think they press in a 4132 shape.

@1twoQstroke of genius with the trequista. I’ve ended up with one both sides with slightly different pIs. Change striker to pf support and getting some lethal combos

Fantastic. What a win. They always seem to score set pieces don’t they!?!? I played Bayern in the champions league away and they won 1-0. Keeper howler. Tactic was very solid and we looked dangerous throughout. That was with the higher tempo. your tactic plays some brilliant stuff I must say. It might just be impossible in the game, but with higher tempo they pass is around nicely but there is no baiting the opposition really. Lowering the tempo though seems to make it difficult to create chances. Going to fiddle around again when I have time. Brainstorming ideas, I reckon with slower tempo and three playmakers (and play through the middle) it just makes it super slow and obvious. So you may be on to something with all three combined with higher tempo as I’m 100% sure you need play through the middle for it to be a de zerbi recreation. those pass maps are brilliant btw.
