torchibo Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 First of all, the tactics are nothing special, but after a long experiment and trying it's the best thing I have managed to make so far. Although it works quite well, I have discovered weaknesses which solution you hopefully reveal to me. The 4-2-3-1Dm is excluded in the following statistics and charts as it has not been used yet. 4-2-3-1: Tactics: https://imgur.com/a/BxvYdIv My chances / opponents earned chances: https://imgur.com/a/vUUZvb5 Templates: https://imgur.com/a/fdWJ0i3 Goals: https://imgur.com/a/lXdLhaX To explain, the tactic is against more deep-seated teams or teams that are a bit more open but qualitatively too weak to be dangerous (Gladbach, Leverkusen ...), as they have the attacking midfielder as an additional man, who serves as a reference station and so the Torgefahr BEFORE the goal retains, he is himself very dangerous for goal. The wing defenders should be a bit more defensive, as the potential counterattack in this tactic is enormous, which is why they are full-back and wing defenders. The box-box player serves, so that movement and defensive help is there and the DLP-D is an insurance against counterattack. The inversive winger and the winger ensure that the opposing defense is stretched and thus gaps are created. In theory logically practical, there is still risk of countering. As you can see, the offensive is relatively good and defensively stable. The goals are also of a rather high quality. Now to the problems that I hope to get solved here. I understand that you can not score goals on the assembly line, but how can I manage to score with chances, as I often see players coming to a close in relatively good positions but not completing them. I regularly have 2-3 clear chances to score and 60% of shots in the 16ener, but the scoreboard shows me a 0-0, furthermore I notice that my flanks are always blocked. Whenever I play counterattack at higher speeds, my players lose the ball, and I'm a bit stubborn, because I have 8 good chances + 10 mediocre chances in some games and drive the opponent up the wall with offensive domination and in some cases almost nothing works and only counter-attacks were made. That's why I stick to the tactics at such moments, hoping they'll somehow click. Because of this problem, I have the 4-3-3 tactic: Tactics_2: https://imgur.com/a/5LmnvWG The wing is based on the same principle as the 4-2-3-1, but here the wing defenders may be more offensive because I have a dm. But this tactic is, as you can see in the pictures above, not much more stable, instead every 180min an opponent's chance only every 194min, but much less chances are played out. I guess here is the same thinking problem of mine as the 4-2-3-1 here, but the additional man is missing in the offensive and on the other hand I use the tactics against more difficult opponents. What would be the better way here: 1.Should I play safe possession, as the more offensive opponents have more gaps? How could I tweak it to deliver a more stable and offensive vision? (I know that being 'impossible' is a perfect attack AND defensive, but these tactics, I guess, have a lot of room for improvement in both aspects) 2. Or should I play counterattack, but how would I avoid constant ball loss? The last tactic should in my mind unite both pros of the 2 above listed tactics. https://imgur.com/a/ERWkZD9 Here the defensive is to be stabilized by 2 Dms, but by the OM also a working offensive will be maintained, because I still have not tried them I do not know how it works, but I am already looking forward to feedback. Unfortunately, I do not know what to do if I do not get enough chances with all of these tactics because I can not counter-counter-press and play fast.

Pedroig Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Sorry, I was looking for screenshots in the post, kinda auto "look over" links most the time. On your last tactic, what about bringing the ACM to CM(AP)s and swap your DM's positions? That would give you a pivot, box to box, and anchor in your center three and give coverage for your marauding RWB. Keeps your defense strong, with less "gaps" to exploit. (Plus Bayern without a hard Pivot just seems "wrong" to me) On offense the DM(SV) will arrive late to the box to be able to exploit the adjustments the defense has made to the initial probe attack.

Experienced Defender Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Judging by the screenshot of goals scored vs conceded and chances for and against, plus the fact that you are 1st in the Bundesliga, it seems that your tactics work well for you. However, I do see some flaws, primarily in terms of roles and duties. So here is what I would change in that respect - i.e. how I would (basically) set up roles and duties in each system. The first tactic (standard 4231): DLFa APMs AMs Wa (or IFa) BtBM DLPd FBa BPD CD WBs SWKs 2nd tactic (4141 DM Wide): F9 (or DLFs) APMs IFa CMa (or MEZa) DLPs HB FBa BPD CD WBs SWKs And 3rd tactic (deep 4231): PFs APMs AMa IFa ACM VOLs FBa BPD CD FBs (or WBd) SWKs Or (alternatively): PFs APMs AMs IFa VOLa ACM FBs BPD CD WBs SWKs When it comes to other tactical instructions, I always look to avoid overkill and to use as few of them as possible, because you can always add some at any point in a match if needed. You also need to take care that instructions are not contradicting each other and there is no need to use too aggressive defending (out of possession instructions), such as (much) higher d-line, LOE and extreme urgency at the same time because it can compromise your defensive shape to an unnecessarily great degree. Especially when you are already playing on a high mentality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is manageable, especially with a team like Bayern. But you need to pay attention to all details when creating a tactic. Be patient and try to watch matches at least on comprehensive highlights to see how the team plays and what could and should be changed (mentality, team instructions, player instructions, some roles or duties). And don't change to many instructions at once, but one by one. Sometimes the difference between a bad and fantastic tactic is just a couple of settings.
