fmupdater2k16 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 In comparison to other teams my team lacks pace and acceleration. In the ranking we are dead last, first touch is also lowish. What style of play would you suggest? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarin Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Its a conundrum. The obvious answer is to go out and buy some pace, but let's assume that that is not an option. Personally, I'd be looking to play a narrow diamond or some other iteration of a narrow, compact formation. The reason? Because we can work the ball up the strata with short passes. There's always plenty of support around. No pace is particularly required, poor first touch is mitigated by the shortness, ease and speed of pass that's possible in that kind of system. Its also the kind of system I would employ if I had paceless strikers. If your players can't cover the pitch then get the ball to do it. Its always a non-league fail-safe. No pace and no technique? Narrow diamond. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmupdater2k16 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Well I was thinking 4222 and maybe 4231 narrow but these formations might be too complex for llm players. Well I am gonna try it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashidi Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I would just play a 4231Narrow DM system. You are guaranteed to have 6 defending, and all you do is hoof the ball up to a narrow configuration who are well placed to knock the ball to each other to find chances. You don't need space and as you get better and faster players this system gets progressively harder to beat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which roles would you think suit them best? I've for instance gone with a poacher role for the striker as I'd think it's best he stays in his position and focus on taking his chances. I went with an advanced playmaker on support an 2 attacking midfielders on attack duties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
