I am proud to introduce what is sure to be an ongoing thread - an opportunity for people to laugh at my awful attempts at setting up tactics, and hopefully point out where I'm going wrong. My first two offerings: A tactic heavily based on the default Gegenpress 4-3-3. It was just sort of underwhelming, never really creating a lot of chances, and always conceding at least one goal. A custom tactic intended to be defensively compact, while having movement and options on the counter-attack. In practice, it was sort of okay defensively but I didn't see a single highlight going forwards in most of the games I used it in. Admittedly, I didn't get to use it for all that long, because I got sacked, but I didn't see anything good from it.

I'll give a bit of a background. I'm currently managing Manchester United and through my first season I used 4-3-3 due to the small squad size but now i've got a "team" or at least my own where I want to work towards the traditional use of 4-2-3-1. This is the team and as you can see it's fairly good and i've won the league unbeaten. I swapped using 433 to 4231 around january so some stats are missleading especially pogba's. There's my tactics. I'm having a hard time trying to get the CAM to work and the strikers. Lukaku and Rashford with a CAM score less and are much more like shadows that only show up when opposition make mistakes (ignore the players on the scrn shot). I'm also having a hard time making pogba work in a 4231. I've tried using him as different roles and tried moving him up to CAM and he doesn't do great as in a 433 because he was the focal point which im trying to make with him at CAM. The CM roles usually are a DLP-S and a BBM. CAM I usually switch depending on the player so if it was mata when AP (mata comes really deep to get the ball cause of his trait and it's annoying as it creates a 3 man mid leaving the CAM space open and free). The run at defence helps the dribbling which I use quite a lot as I have pacey wide players (thauvin on right) and martial who seems to be balling with that TI on (tried without it and he fails to make dribbles per game). What role/PI's would you suggest I use for CAM and the Striker? AF for rashford works sometimes but im not 100% that's the role to make him score goals week in and week out. I want a role where he gets beyond the defensive line with his pace (would I need to change the directness of passing to make this work? but wouldnt that also mean he needs to be good in the air if it's direct TO him rather than infront?) Sancho RW as a winger, and fabio silva to replace lukaku as he's becoming a liability and just a terrible plan B that needs rid so likes of fabio and greenwood to blossom. I also want to be playing the ball on the deck most of the time rather than long balling.
