Masi` Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hey all, I like Fiorentina and want to try play how Sousa has got them playing with is possession based football with lots of chance via through balls Fiorentina Style Possession football Short passes Attempt through balls often Attack through the middle Take long shots Control the game in the opposition's half Tactics im trying Main formation will prob be 3412 which is what they use most of the time, followed by 433 The only trouble im having is trying to play possession leads to either a) player walking into the opposition with his head down losing the ball b) all my players move up and then just stand around whilst a MC has the ball with little to no option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kandersson Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Great thread, I love watching Fiorentina too! I'd say Sousa has settled on a 3-4-2-1 recently after starting with a 4-2-3-1. According to current formation and first choice eleven I'd go: GK (D) Tata CD (D) Tomo BPD © Gonzalo CD (D) Astori WP (S) Berna DLP (D) Badelj BBM (S) Vecino WM (S) Alonso SS (A) Ilicic AP (S) Valero DF (S) Kalinic Alonso (who's criminally underrated in FM) could also be WB in left wingback position. Against smaller teams Valero often plays in the MC strata (maybe RPM) replacing Vecino or Badelj, with Mati or Rossi in at AMC or ST respectively (with Rossi in a 3-4-1-2). When Kuba or Gilberto play at MR they're more traditional wingers/wide midfielders compared to left-footed WP Bernardeschi. Mentality I'd say mainly Control (Sousa would often go more defensive when leading, still controlling possession though), with Very Structured team shape. TI's close down much more, retain possession and play out of defence to make possession count; roam from position and pass into space to attempt more risky passess while having more passing options and movement off the ball. This is my take based on real life Fiorentina, not sure how it would work in FM I'd also suggest to read and implement some concepts from Cleon's possession thread, as they very much apply to Sousa's style of football http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/445500-The-Art-of-Possession-Football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
