Well, after some tactic creation, I have come up with this. The issue is, we dont create chances, at all. The left if has like 2 goals in 10 matches, which is obviously an issue, as he's supposed to be one of the main threaths. I've tried him on attack duty, but he was even worse. Tried playing something else that's not a mezzala on his flank, didn't work. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong at this point.

So after being dissapointed by my latest tactical experiments, and being lost in a way that I don’t know what kind of football I want my team to be playing, I settled for a simple controlling possesion, creating overloads tactic. Now, I know the idea behind an overload, the thing I struggle with is implementing it into Fm. Should a st role be one on attack or on support duty? Should the cm on the ”non-overloading” side be on support or attack duty. Should I use focus play instruction for better effect? Should the st look to hold up play, or to run behind opponent’s defense? Any help is appreciated!

Well, I tried making it work, but it just wouldn’t. Thanks for the help tho. Moved on to the other save.

Hello there. After many failed attempts to get the wide formations working the way I want them to, including my ongoing Valencia save, I accidentally created the christmas tree formation, that is, the 4321 formation. I always thought of it as a boring and not very successful formation, but boy, did I change my opinion. I like my teams defensively solid, playing possesion stlye of football, and this tactic is great at it. We have been doing pretty decent with it this season so far, but as always, there is room for improvement. So I am asking You, fellow managers, for your thoughts and feedbacks on my tactic. Thing we are good at: Tackling, denying teams goalscoring opportunities, defence Thing we struggle with: Passing, keeping possesion, creating ccc, defending wide Basically, the way I want us to play is, defending deeper, being patient and cautious with our press, winning the ball and then controling the possesion and creating chances with it. That being said, main issues of our tactic is actually passing and keeping the possesion. PI's: cb- close down less wb's- dribble more, shoot less often, mark tighter dlp- take more risks, more direct passes seg vol-get further forward, dribble more, shoot more often am (supp) - take more risks, dribble more, roam from positions, move into channels am (att) - take more risks, dribble more I wouldn't like to press more, due to the fact we could lose our defensive shape, I like playing through middle, as I've read it raises my midfield's player mentality, and I like playing more disciplined when playing against better teams, in order to not lose that defensive stability. Against weaker sides, I turn off the instruction to be more disciplined. Also, would the instruction "Stop crosses" help with defending out wide? Thank's for all your help. e af - take more risks, mark tighter

So, playing as Stade de Reims in the first season, and I like to play on the counter. Just looking for some thoughts on my tactic, which I just implemented into the team, due to the previous one failing miserably. Any help is welcome.
