I see a lot of similarities with your youth tactic and my current Barca 2011 replication, such a fun system! I opted for a SS rather than DLF as I preferred the initial deeper position and later surges in the box.

When the players begin training in their second position, do you find they start to lose tactical familiarity in their original, playing position?

This seems really backwards when on previous editions you could!

Summary: Unable to select a youth matchday tactic Description of Issue: When in control of the youth teams (in this case: U23s, U18s), I am unable to select which matchday tactic they should use. I have the option of the preferred tactic they should train, but not what they play with. The option is always whichever tactic I have currently selected for the first team. Steps to Reproduce: All staff responsibilities in control of manager, no staff delegations. Club with youth teams (not a B team).

Me too. Always coming back and reading it again. I don’t think you can truly understand the impact this thread has had on many of us. The way the thread is presented and ideas are explained is so invaluable. I really wish @Ö-zil to the Arsenal!would give at least one run through of FM 21, because even if he couldn’t achieve the exact same, he might find some joy with something else, and it’d be great to have this type of content once more!

Regarding the 433, I see what you’re aiming for with the passing instructions but it’s too cautious against defences that are parking themselves in their own half. It seems you’re playing standard width, but much shorter passing and lower tempo. This is compounded by the use of work the ball into the box. You’re players are going to move the ball very slowly, left to right, and become increasingly frustrated. Messi is also on an Attack duty so he’s unlikely to pull defenders out of the box, while your inside forwards sit rather cautiously in the wide areas. You want to be playing eit

Serious question @Ö-zil to the Arsenal! - do you think anyone will ever be able to replicate what you did with Benfica in the latest additions of FM? The idea of high tempo, high pressure, possession based football using technically gifted players developed in a youth focused structure. Aside of the exact replication of tactics, do you think the process of a whole can still be adopted? The eventual success and magnitude of results is stunning and I haven't seen that level of european domination in any of my saves or many others. I would love for when FM21 is released, to begin a similar journe

It’s not looking like FM21 offers much more in the direction of total football and what could be achieved using FM18. Although, the new focus play movements might offer some dynamism. Has anyone played around with trying to achieve something similar to what @Ö-zil to the Arsenal!has previously?

Wow FM really did a good job in your save to predict what is currently happening in real life

The numbers here are stragering, especially since the 3-1-6 shape is likely to push teams into their own box. It's such a shame you can't currently upload images/videos because I would love to see the movement of your attackers.

I've just signed Haaland and now you've peaked my interest

@Experienced Defender I see you mention "occasionally add the Counter and/or counter-press, depending on the situation/opposition" often with this style. I'm fairly new to footballing concepts but in a nutshell when would you determine a good time to 'counter press' and the wrong time to do so?

It's interesting you used cautious with Napoli, I often find sides in the Serie A mostly like to throw 10 men behind the ball haha!

I have often thought about using Auto but like you, until now, felt a little hesitant. I often manage teams edging european football and look to build them into a world class side, at the start it is always difficult finding a balance between those games you're expected to dominate and those you're often the underdog. This may help!

Could I ask you what your midfield combination and fullback set up is? I'm interested in what hardcoded roles you've put together.
