daleuk8 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I wondered if you ever got players to Swap Positions? Or when you'd advice to use it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
llama3 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Breaking down sides it can be useful. If you pre-set players roles for the position, it can allow you to suddenly go from playing a pair of wingers to inside forwards, or inverting the flanks. Can just add variety and open up a defence.

llama3 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 In the first system there is a real lack of proper width. I would suggest having more width on the right flank with a more attacking role and duty. The 2nd system looks more solid and reliable on the flanks. Just wonder how congested that middle is going to get. Won't know unless you try it though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the first system if I understand you, MR need to have more attacking roles and duty, or Poacher to change in Advanced Forward? In the 2nd system I changes middfield roles to DLP(D) and ADPL(S) and striker to Trequartista, and it's going well for now. TNX A LOT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistatrequartista Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi Llama, a quick question: I usually play 2 centre mids, 1 BBM and 1 CM(D) The team is playing well and is reasonably solid, but I often come up against teams lower down the league, who normally play a flat 4-5-1 or 4-4-2, and try and play long balls in behind my defence. My question is: in these games is it worth changing my CM(D) to a BWM(D) or even a BWM(S)? I understand that this will make me more open in the middle of the park, but my rationale is that he is being bypassed by the long balls over the top so is being wasted from a defensive point of view. Would he be better off pushing up and trying to stop these long balls at source? I play with a high defensive line and closing down more, which I appreciate will encourage teams to play like this against me. My CB's are reasonably quick so it's not a huge problem, but it's often a source of goals for certain teams I play against. Any feedback would be great!

llama3 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 It's not advisable as you will gift so much dangerous space in front of the defence. Pressing more aggressively with your forwards is 1 way of preventing it, the more obvious is to drop your defensive line. Other option is to use a Sweeper Keeper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

llama3 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 The DLP would offer better protection on the left of the central pair, covering for the marauding full back.

llama3 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Your entire midfield should be inverted - you'll create better overlaps with a W(S) in front of a FB(A), and better protection for the W(A) with a FB(S) behind. The CM(D) should be on the same side as the FB(A) to offer better cover when he goes forward. Do you really have an AF(S)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauso Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 No specific suggestions, do you have specific problems? It's a good setup. Thanks. I don't see specific problems, we are doing well and the football we are playing is good. I'm not completely satisfied with the left back, as I would like to see more attacking play from him, and the rating of my CM is always low, although he's doing what he should do. Sometimes I struggle to defend well against flat 433, and in general against teams with an AM and two strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did not you use the same principle as in all other systems, attack fullback and support winger and vice versa? Because the IF's both come inside to attack the space left by the F9, the Wing Back's need to get forward and offer the support down the flank. The centre of the pitch is secure, with 2 of the 3 midfielders capable if sitting deep and compact, protecting against the space left by the Wing Back's bombing on. It's an idea and example, not a "do it this way" instruction. llama3,............sk/d cd/cov cd/sto cd/cov dlp/d w/s b2b/s cm/a w/s af/a dlf/s attacking very fluid push higher up prevent gk short dis close down more what do you think about this for juventus setup? I like the central midfield trio, but it has little penetration on the flanks. But at least the wingers will be disciplined defensively. You defence is the bit I have doubts over - if you play with a player in the DMC slot, then your central defender in the trio should not play as a stopper. He does not need to press forward and attack the space, because the space is already covered. Furthermore, with the Wingers higher up on the flanks than say using Wing Backs, having Covering Duties will concede even more space on the flanks.

gurbey91 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 so for the central def trio would you suggest cov def cov? because i play push higher up i dont want to give chances by through balls. and for the wing backs,wb/a or cwb/a instead of wingers what would be more efficient?

llama3 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 No I suggest having "cover" on the wide central defensive positions is a bad idea. I suggest you use stopper-cover-stopper, or, defend-cover-defend if the wide stoppers are too aggressive. Your wing backs would do more defensively than the Winger, and would get forward with more purpose too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake Appeal Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 what do you think about this for juventus setup? If you're specifically trying to recreate Conte's back three, the closest thing is CD (stopper), BPD (cover), CD (stopper), although you could equally well put the middle of the three on a Libero role. This is effectively what Conte would do in games where Pirlo was marked out of the game, shifting the responsibility for direct passing further back to an unmarked Bonucci. Pirlo works better as a regista, incidentally. The rest is pretty accurate, though I'd probably use defensive wingers (or wing-backs). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

poma Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Play the Chelsea way or Mourinho way which seems to be hard. He uses like a hybrid of all types of play these days, contain, counter and control. Don't think he plays very attacking to be honest. Possession, yes. Compact, yes. Counter, yes. Attacks will come naturally of all that maybe? Ivanovic is a complete wingback but is awesome in every aspect of play I think, Azpi is more defending, center half's I don't know really. Fabregas is a dlp or a roaming pm, matic is a combo of cm defend and bwm defend and even a dlp defend sometimes.

llama3 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 I would have Hazard as an IF on the left, but not sure on duty. Diego Costa is a complete forward for me all day long.

llado01 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 hi llama !!! (sorry for my english,im spanish) awesome guide, im arrived here via spanish forums, which have translated your guide , im a big fan look , just promoted from french L2 to L1, with Le Havre AC , excellent facilities ,and lot of young prospects, im attempt developing a team with players made in the own academy only, no transfers from other teams,no free player, no youth from the others academies,nothing ...only LH players made in the own academy, but this has its problems, as I have a young team, but poor mental stats, physically powerful (much kind of African player,strenght and pacey), also with lack of technical and flair comparate with the other teams of L1 ... how i can exploit this strenght and pace ¿? im think in this shape: [FM14] GK (veteran) FB (S) -> (pacey and not bad regular in mentals )- CB (good anticipacion and positioning great cb ) - CB - WB(A) -> pacey wingback here A(D) -> (powerful player, high phisics here, lack of tecnique) W(A)typical winger - MC(A) -> (pacey) - DLP (S) -> (the only one who knows how to move a ball) - WM(S) F9(S) (what i found,his a typical poacher,pacey and agility,no more) im play :counter ( think it's better who are behind the ball to go fast to the opp.box) / balanced (more move than structured,i think)/ short (lack technical players ,save the ball,not helt balls to the opp.defence) / high tempo (dont like the patience with ball,if they will think where the ball will go,will end up giving it away) this shape and TI's is the best way to exploit the physical powerfull,and balance defence/attack ? or maybe I need to be more direct and change the shape (442?) ? thx a lot for read, if you can help me, you will do me very happy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
llama3 Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Looks a good structure. Although I would swap the MC(A) and DLP(S) would be better swapped to the other sides.

What problems do you find?Can you please link me this translation? I have not given permission for a Spanish translation. one of the things is that when I'm under a lot of pressure, I'm stuck in a trap and my players do not come out of the box, eventually just making a mistake that costs a goal down. another is when im in ball posession, I make many mistakes as fail easy passes, midfield does not link to upfront I do not know if putting a fast AMC behind the striker and play with double dmc , would improve things, then, the shape would be like this: gk fb(s) -cb -cb - wb(a) DMC (S) -> (the typical affrican player box to box ,and run at the counter,lack on tecnicals) / DLP (D)-> my playmaker W(A) -> (the same to above) /AMC (A) -> (quick ,not very skillfull player,but hot prospect,18y) / IF (L) F9(Y) maybe I would need to run more play more separate lines, but this maybe I would killme in defense what do you thing about this? thx a lot !

b28937 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I was wondering if it is effective to use both a DLP and an AP at the same time or should it be one or the other (such as [DLP/AM] or [CD/AP])? Also, am in right in using DLF(a) as the striker in this tactic, or is there something better? (I chose DLF because the tactics creator auto-assign roles made him a DLF in this formation.) Although the striker's best roles are identified as Target Man, Poacher, Advanced forward, he led the team with 20 goals last season as a DLF so I stuck with it. Any other issues jump out?

The team to help: GK: Hansen / Cleiton (Brazilian keeper) CD: Stefan Strandberg (block) / Eric Dier (1st starter Cover) / Erik Sviatchenko (1st starter block / Cover if Stefan in 1 st squad) / Tyler Blackett (4th option) LD/RD: Ylli Sallahi / Gino Peruzzi / Donati RM: Michael Antonio / Stephen McLaughlin CM (CM): Cohen / Adrien Rabiot CM (RPM): Youri Tielemans / Nick Powell LM: Dave Hoyt / Sergiy Bolbat (training to be RM to) ST : Cauley Woodrow / Martin Ødegaard / Britt Assombalonga / Martin Ødegaard Don't know why you need a SK when you already have a CD ©. Also, I think those FBs should be WBs with Stay Wide as their PI. You don't want your wide men to occupy the same space The above advice is pretty spot on to be honest. Most of the rest of the system looks sound. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedromanuelpinto Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 What about I remove the Drop Deeper and activate the Play Narrower? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aderow Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hey llama it's been a while. Been a little bit since I've been on here and since I last played FM I figured if I was gonna get back into things, a good start would be with some advice on my setup. This is what I've decided to give a try. What do you think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
llama3 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 I would say that a bit more variety on the flanks would be good. I think that Fletcher is a poor playmaker and Rooney in a deep role needs to be used either in a very penetrating role, or a creative/playmaker role. I would probably play Falcao & van Persie in a 4-4-2 because of their very "end product" nature. But it's well balanced though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
