Thanks

PIs:

• they are listed above, I've stuck with the same in FM21 so far, bar the changes to the DCL and DC to try and combat the long through balls
• I think am going to try something/anything to mitigate the FM21 wing play, as it's frustrating to see the defenders collapse, giving room to the WB, to only have him muck about until the defenders come out to him and then it's a corner

OIs;

• I press any BPDs and any decent CMs, again to try and combat the long pass
• Otherwise I tend to let the assman have a go and he typically puts tighter marking on CFs. Not sure I like this and sometimes turn it off, as I worry that might actually lead problems at the back, instead of prevent them.
• Generally I find the assistant does less prematch OIs than my assistants in FM20, but maybe that's more who I've hired than the game

TIs:

• I play around with Balanced - Positive (default) - Attacking based on the opposition. I think going 'down' to balanced has seen better results than up to attacking
• Change width sometimes depending on how packed the opposition makes the middle

Sometimes with roles, to close out the match I have put Ajer at the CMR and change it from CM(s) to DLP(d) to see if he can just sensibly control things. Not sure if that genuinely does do anything vs leaving it a CM(s or d), yes theoretically it should, but I need more matches to tell for sure. And of course change some A-S-Ds around now and again too.

what about changing the Pressing Forward to a Shadow Striker and going strikerless?

Update in the Caixa Academy thread for those of you interested to follow along and see where this save goes 

 

 

This tactic reminds me of Liverpool this season , the front 3 get really narrow allowing Trent and Robbo to bomb forward. How would you replicate this in fm20?
