thedaddy2005 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi guys I'm looking for a tip regarding training different formations & team instructions. I tend to have just 1 formation - a 4-2-3-1 with 2 DM's and my midfielders on the midfield line rather than the AM line. In some matches I will shift the DM and Midfield line up one so it is now 2 CM and my 3 ahead of them will be on the AM line - my question is - should I just be making these amendments to the single formation, I should I have the 2 formations running concurrently. What are the advantages and disadvantages of both? Also, I tend to have a number of preset Team Instructions saved for my formation - I will have all the different mentalities (apart from Contain and Overload) saved in the presets with my changes (eg drop deeper, time waste for Defensive), and depending on the opposition I will choose the appropriate one for that match and make any amendments needed. Are my players training to get used to the 4-2-3-1, or are they also getting used to the mentality / team instructions I assign. If this is the case, should I really be looking for more consistency in Team Instructions to increase familiarity? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
warlock Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 You can see in the Tactical Creator screen that if you move a player from, say, the midfield line to the AM line there's a small but perceptible drop in tactical familiarity. So moving multiple players will cause a larger drop, but I couldn't honestly say how much that will impact the performance on the pitch. I usually create a base tactic with standard/flexible mentality and shape, and then add more defensive and offensive versions in the other two tactics slots. Through pre-season and the first couple of weeks of the season proper, I set match prep to match tactics, and then when familiarity gets up to around 90%, I switch to teamwork and leave it there for the rest of the season. Seems to work for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodentofDoom Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I have 3 separate tactics 'live' so to speak familiarity builds quicker with match time, but training time also increases it so when I do switch between my chosen tactics the team is never totally unprepared Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
