  1. So, managing in Spain, I'm picking some of my B to be available for the U19, but even doing this, they are never picked for the U19. Has anyone encountered this?

    2nd question is, if I pick B team players for the A team, is there a certain amount of matches they play for the A team that will prevent them from playing for the B team?

     

  2. Well, just finished the 2nd season, and I won the title!

    Last game was actually away to Chelsea, for the championship, after losing 0:2 at home to WBA the previous game. A draw would have been enough, and I did it! 1:1 with Chelsea equalizing on the 92 minute.

    I dropped back my 2 MC to DM for this match and played counter.

    the main reason I posted here, was because I had a good tactic which I felt did not perform as well as in the beginning. I am still not sure whether this purely because of instructions/tactic building, or also maybe because I have a young team (Ward-Prowse, Shaw, Clyne, Will Hughes, Barbosa who I brought back from loan for the 2nd part of the season, Ter Stegen).

    Here are some screenshots:

    you can see the difrrence between the 1st and 2nd part of the season.

    In the end, it finished positively with the title. But still, I felt in consistent in most matches. If not the great start/1st part of the season, I would have finished 3-4 at best.

    • Full Backs should be getting forward more, especially on right flank
    • Are you sure Schneiderlin is a BBM and Wanyama a MC(D)? To me they look better fits the other way round.
    • Having a cover duty when playing an offside trap is not generally a super idea, they drop back too much playing opponents onside.
    • You could play your 2 central midfielders deeper to offer defensive cover, sometimes this is a game by game decision.
    • You have no specialist roles, but a balanced philosophy - in general, you should either introduce specialist roles (BBM is a 0.5), or, change philosophy to be more fluid.
    • Short passing and a high tempo do not mix very well, not to say they don't work, but be wary, and change if your team are rushing and misplacing easy passes.
    • Hassle Opponents and Offside Trap work well with a high defensive line. Which in turn means being on a reasonably proactive mentality. You could use a BWM in central midfield to enhance this if you wanted. Purely optional, and in place of BBM. Just an idea.

    Hope that helps, Yonko's advice is good too.

    Those are some good advice.

    I used to play both CD on defend, and will try this again. Wanyama used to be BWM, but than I changed him to CM (D). Will BWM & BBM (S) will not go together well?

    Regarding the full backs, if you advice for them, and specially the right one to go further up, this means the IF duty should change?

    Most important- regarding philosophy, teams instructions & specialist roles- how does that work?

  3. Your opponents are killing you with through balls because your Mentality and D-line are too low to combine with Hassle Opponents and Use Offside Trap. You have to either squeeze the passer or cover the runners, you can't do both and it appears that you are not doing either.

    Your offensive problems come from the fact that you are using Exploit the Flanks, Play Wider and Look for Overlap. That's an overkill IMO. If you want to focus down the flanks, just use Play Wider and switch your FBs to WBs role. Another problem is the fact that you don't use any playmaker on your team. I'd suggest you change AM to AP and/or BBM to DLP.

    You are correct regarding the team not pushing up. I see now the push higher up instruction in not marked. it used to be, probably un-marked it by mistake.

    One other question I have and I've seen on other threads is regarding amount of team/player instructions. how much is too much team instructions? If I play rigid, I guess 7-8 team instructions are fine. What about player instructions? not specifically for my team and formation, but just in general.

  4. Although I am having a good 2nd season with Southampton, and still leading the league 28 games in, I feel that the team is not playing well, and from a 9-12 point margin at the top, it became 1.

    This is the formation I am using, and you also see the team instructions on the side:

    I play rigid with a standard mentality.

    I feel the team is a little vulnerable at the back, with deep balls findins players a lot behind the centre backs\full backs.

    Creating chances has also suddenly became a problem.

    Any advice?

  5. First off Tyler, great tatctics.

    I'm using Piranha for the 3rd straight season with my Beyern team (I'm in the 2015/2016 season), and its going great.

    A few questions:

    1) Should I use Prianha home and Eagle away?

    2) Should I implement a target man in the team instructions, even though it's not included?

    3) I understand AMR/L's can play in right/left sided MC position, but can ST's play at AMR/L position?
