  1. Cross towards target forward means aim your cross to the target forward so if you have a target forward on support/attack he can be positioned anywhere in box not specifically central. The design of the areas give some sort of expectation of where the cross should be aimed towards for all except the target forward button which should have varied crosses depending on where your target forward is in the opposition box. Cross to towards center will aim crosses into the middle of the penalty area.
  2. If this happens some of your players need to get stuck in, either manually assigned or you can tell the squad also try using trap outside instruction to make your team more narrow; the ball over the top can happen as your team transition from a narrow attack to a wider defensive setup.
  3. Complacent players - Berate Anxious players- Most of the time don't say anything and sub them off. Aggressive players/ Players on a yellow card - Calm down Draw 0-0 - Encourage (if we have been playing well) Draw 1-1 - Demand More (if we took the lead first) Not taking our chances/Opposition GK turns into prime Buffon - Berate
  4. I like this a lot. I think you could experiment with an asymmetrical tactic, if I take your profile photo as example there is at least a wider midfielder acting as an forward and to form a front three with the two other forwards, so you can create an asymmetric 4-4-2 (which would look like a 4-4-2 in defence), which attacks in a 4-4-3 shape. Although a lot of examples of asymmetrical tactics are very positional-play based, they can work for defensive minds, it just needs to have a strong influence on the most dangerous zones on the pitch; 2. Presents more than one option for the counter-attack/ long ball. Of course, I don't mean to derail your initial option of using Karl Rappan's tactic for inspiration, it is just help for people who want to play catenaccio and see the 5-man systems from SI, I think the catenaccio philosophy is needed and nothing more if the best defence in your eyes is - [insert tactic here] - than use it and apply it using the philosophy.
  5. Is the Morocco team in this WC 2022 comparable to the Greece of Euro '04 team (in terms of playstyle)?
  6. Yes Yes they should able to but be aware of your opponents strengths beforehand.
  7. If I had a 15 teamwork winger who I need him to pass the ball I wouldn't choose IF, if that is the main priority. I would play an IW on attack.
  8. You wouldn't really want a poacher that drops deep initially because they get the goals however when the ball does come to them they usually play a pass to person nearest to them. You can make a poacher drop deep by using PI's and traits. It's good at doing what it does and is even more effective: when there is more suppliers trying to feed him the ball and when the tactic is contracted to making and exploiting space. Take Haaland, (of course he's much more than just a classic nine) but in that city team I would say he has the poacher mindset more so in the box, outside of the box, he moves to exploit space, make good passes and isn't afraid of taking his chances when entering the final third.
  9. And if you need any help with the cm(a) you can ask the CM(attack) thread
  10. Ok so the BBM and CM(a) are both aggressive and the wings are the main threats on the counter so what I look for is at least one AML/R on an attack duty. If I take the Right winger and use him as an W(a) then the winger would be protected by the wingback on support and swap the CM(a) with the BBM(s), I do this so he can roam to the winger, the wingback and back to the DM so there is a passing option. DM can be a bit too close to opposition press on support but as long as it works then it should be fine. The IW(s) can work although I would add some player instructions like Get further forward and roam from position because I would want some urgency when on the counter attack also it gives more space for the wingback to move up. Instead of the CM(a), I would use a MEZ or CAR since the DM bridges the gap.
  11. Not really it just means the player positions himself in space where it would more often than not be a pass into his feet. This is helpful for when arriving into the box and receiving high passes so he doesn't head it on and rather use his great first touch. The trait doesn't stop other players from playing through balls, it just makes the other players play an appropriate through pass favourably lower than higher.
  12. If you want him to time his runs like e.g Lampard you can have arrives late into opposition area, other traits I can think of are: takes long range free kicks(FK and Long Shots), shoots with power(strength), Likes ball played into feet (lacks aerial prowess), Likes to beat offside trap (Anticipation and OTB).
  13. So your wide and play short passing all the way through the pitch (Work Ball Into Box and Play out of Defence included), it not easy on the players who are closed down yet have to find a short pass to someone who is far and wide, in the end the passes can easily be intercepted or key players can be singled out. The wide centre backs, I'm not sure what you need it for but they cover wingbacks which are not very aggressive so its just going to make ball progression stale. Cover centerback can easily be isolated in transitional counter attacks (because of the change in width and possibly the higher defensive line) and may not react quickly enough if at all. Your team engages with the opposition much earlier than normal and at the same time you also counter press and man mark so defensively you can easily leave gaps on the pitch, Counter press and man marking is not something that I would do at the same time.
  14. I wouldn't use a Treq and would use a support role instead, for me I would use the PF(s) so there is more aggression when entering the mid block, I like this role a lot due to the surprising plays and dribbles it makes as well once the ball is won back. BBM or just close down more PI + CM(s) for McTom. Martial could be have emphases to take more risks PI for his second assist and the attempted pass for Van Beek once he arrived into the area. Erikson: I'm not sure, if I want to have a counter attacking team I wouldn't use a playmaker however it doesn't mean you can't be successful with one so the choice is up to you. When the counter attack started everyone seemed to have a channel to attack like Basketball and it didn't look like they getting in each others way. Stopper CB also up for speculation and I wouldn't use a Cover because I don't think it works great in a back 4 imo. Early crosses into the area TI (or not best to leave Final Third blank) , I saw a counter with an early cross by McTom? and Alisson stepped up to sweep the cross. This is some of my thoughts on what I saw, so I apologise if I got some it wrong.
  15. If you made an overload on the left hand side it would help the CB to move wide left and the far right back to move inside. Using any sort of winger does force the right back to support it so it would naturally go wide. In most cases it's easier to use an iwb when using wingers.
  16. Topics like these should help, the back three in disguise helps to get the 3rd "centre back" to move up the pitch. The Total Football one uses a pure back 3 whereas the 3-1-6 article helps to provide a more defensive stance while creating at least a back 3 in possession, some ideas on how you plan to make the back 3. I know you said you want a pure cb but the structure of the formation is not far off a 4231 and it will help with recreating the tactic.
  17. That is quite common for a DM especially for a support duty to do such a thing consider 4-4-2 DM a lot of the time either the most defensive of the two will get stretched to the flanks when out of possession and because neither are actually midfielders they have to engage early to prevent conceding long shots. Honestly I'm more concerned about Murray who at least should be marking position or should be pressing urgently, if you wanted Bignot to stay deep then your only going to give the opponent the time and space to pick the best pass possible so you need to get Murray to engage with the player or sub Murray if you don't him to get a second yellow.
  18. Your team doesn't have a lot of attack duties so you wouldn't rush to the box right away as a team so you should use your IF on support as the player that speeds up the play and makes key passes since he has a high personal mentality out of all the support duties but the overlap forces your IF to hold up play which stifles his contribution in the final third. Also the right hand already has a defensive duty on the same side as your overlap which isn't necessary so remove the overlap. Try and use an attacking fullback instead and use a wingback on the opposite side so it can support the DLP and IF on attack , an fullback on support may be closer to the defensive line then the midfield.
  19. It depends on what instructions and role you have as well for example if you tell your LB to mark and you tell your team to counter press then he may not mark properly or as well with that instruction. Also you have to consider that your LB has to mark the opponent RWB so he has to cover the flank by himself, the striker, winger or central midfielder can easily overload that side, so it's not really corrupt if your asking too much of your left back. If you really want your LB to stick close to the RWB then just use mark specific player but at the same time it kind of difficult to know what situation you are in without mentioning your tactic or at least a screenshot of the game that this instruction failed in. Right now, I'm assuming your wingerless and personally I wouldn't mark the opposition wingback if played such a tactic.
  20. Cross from deep for personal instruction or hit early crosses for team instruction helps also asking your wingback to take more risks and/or more direct passing increases the rate at which they do it Depending on your setup if successful crosses are important then its best to create space either by: making a late/overlapping run from the flanks use a winger to drag the opposition fullback inside using overloads
  21. There is this https://rocksendfm.com/2021/05/31/the-italian-roles-the-trequartista/ where there is a test for the trequartista in am and st positions which should give you and idea for what you could expect and you could ask the FM22 AMC thread for more ideas about the trequartista.
  22. I understand where you're coming from but if a player is good then you should consider him and play him in a role where it is the most simple in which case that said player "only has one job". Decisions by itself won't ruin the player and this goes for any other player which you judge simply by a number of attributes. This is why combinations are important and in a very simple tactic even a bad player can play very well. For example when playing in the lower leagues physical stats are very valuable and you could stumble upon a player which has high Accel. + Pace and poor composure, first touch, finishing and he still goes on to be the top goal scorer in the league. Granted he is how say "dumb" but as a manager when you come across such players you need to play to his advantages in turn he is valuable for the team
  23. Yes including spielverlagerung: there is an English version https://spielverlagerung.com/ and a German version https://spielverlagerung.de/ . German version has a lot more analysis.
  24. Your description of enganche as a hard working role just isn't true earlier you said it's better to play a BBM player in the role of enganche which if you ever came to that point of putting such a player in that role you would rather just not use an enganche at all in the ME. Honestly my whole comment was about the difference between a FM take on an enganche and what an enganche means in real life, that is all. I linked your earlier comment and elaborate further on the enganche role in FM using a "riquelme experiment" as an example.
