    thanks for the feedback.

    I agree with this as i noticed when my team attack, i have my two CD isolated with nobody else staying back to provide cover. 

    do the BBM and the CM(D) function very similarly?  Will the CM(d) still occasionally get into the box?  i am asking because i sometimes get good goals from the BBm and still want some offensive contribution from the CM(D).

    No the CMd shouldn't be popping up in the oppo penalty area, unless he has a PPM, but then I'd advise against playing a holding type midfielder with PPM of Arrives late in box or Gets into oppo box. The CMd is a holding role so would stay deep and look to help out the defenders. Having this role would also help if you had a WBs as would allow him to attack more and give you more options in attack whilst remaining defensively solid.

  2. BBM and APs are not a good midfield combo. They won’t offer much protection for the defensive line at all, especially with no DM. I’d change the BBM to a CM/d and put him on the same side as the WB/a.

     

    Would also consider changing the FB/s to a WB/s as the IW ahead of him will be cutting inside and wingbacks usually work better than full backs with no one else out wide.

    Lowering the mentality itself does not improve defensive solidity. That's the first thing you need to keep in mind regarding the tactic against stronger opposition. 

    If your main tactic works so well, then better don't experiment (too much). After all, losing to (considerably) stronger teams is not something you should be too concerned about. As long as you are not losing against weak ones.

    Thanks for the reply. Yes I guess on paper we aren't expected to beat Celtic or Rangers. But it would just be nice to actually be in the game and at least compete against them. 

  4. Hi all,

     

    Avid reader and occasional poster in here!

     

    I started unemployed and (somehow) managed to get the Aberdeen job in December. Things are going pretty well and I've got them up to 4th from 10th. My first tactic is below, and works well against the majority of teams in the SPL:

    I'm after some help and advice for what I should do when playing against bigger and better teams, i.e. Rangers & Celtic. I've tried keeping the same tactic, and tried a slightly tweaked more conservative 2nd tactic below, but we just always get overrun and last time v Celtic didn't even register 1 shot in the whole match.

    Is it just that Rangers & Celtic are so much better than us that we've got no chance? Or is something glaringly wrong in how I'm approaching the matches?

    Hi @TimEdwins7,

    Thanks for contacting us.

    Could you be slightly more specific about what may be happening here or any specific steps that make this happen? as i am yet to encounter this during my testing.

    Cheers,

    Harry

    Hi Harry, it is literally just as described. The game doesn’t stop at Half Time and show the usual stats and feedback. The teams just swap ends and it kicks off straight away. Almost maybe like there’s a ghost press of start second half or something. But I’m not even touching the screen anywhere.
