There are a couple in there with barely much modification that really suit Man United. I even wonder whether they were created with United or dare I say Sir Alex in mind.

kris29187 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Yes my current tactic is the Vertical Tiki-Taka 4-1-4-1 pre set, to be honest thats probably the best update they added this year for a tactical novice like myself its set up with 2 inside fowards and a target man, mezzala and a box to box midfielder. it dominates possession but feels like its lacking something for goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robson 07 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 @kris29187 it's your tactic so please go in any direction that you prefer. I'm a big United fan and personally I don't think they have the players for any Tiki-Taka or Gegenpress. However being a top level team it wouldn't take you long to adapt them that way. However "wingplay" is so much like an old Fergie tactic say with a 442. Then when he got more cute tactically the "fluid counter attack" with a 4141DM formation. Those two presets so remind me of Man Utd that I almost believe they have been put in the game for that reason but maybe that's just me. Even in his later years under SAF Utd still occasionally played 442/424 against PL teams they thought they'd beat hands down. In Europe and against top four opponents Fergie/Quieroz opted more for the fluid counter. Today's Utd squad still isn't technical in the way that Barcelona or City would be. There is still a physicality about Utd and playing to that as a strength is no bad thing when managing them. Just a few of my thoughts. You may want to adapt the odd role by the way. In the old 442 someone like Scholes was a playmaker but its only a tweak or two that you need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris29187 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Agreed the Utd of old with sir alex and his tactics would be great to emulate though i think im lacking in true Wingers to get near that. I was thinking im probably lacking a good false nine to work the tiki taka think ill take a look at my attacking midfielders see if i can get some tweaks on the wings/ more crossing for target man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs good decisions, teamwork, off the ball, composure plus the technical attributes and some acceleration/agility to work in tight spaces and burst into space. You definitely doesn't want players who like to take long shots especially those with low decisions (Pogba) or they'll take a pot shot before you have chance to create some space for a better chance. Whilst you have good technical players there mentals aren't well rounded for that style. They're more physical players though I think you lack a defensive physical player in midfield like a Kante. Hence I would agree with @Robson 07 and look to a more direct style to use the physical attributes to attack space quickly whilst its there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my goals are on the counter or due to a turnover from pressing. A good corner tactic as well. Corner conversion seems really high this year.

bianconeri96 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 In the same boat with a Vertical Tiki-Taka 4-1-4-1 , I am creating a lot of chances but not scoring, making any average GK looking like Buffon at his peak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris29187 Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 iv been trying out the 4-2-4 formation since yesterday, found one on steam workshop and its destroying the teams i should be beating. hammered villa 7-0 in a cup game first game using it. still having reverting back to 4-1-4-1 V.tiki taka against "bigger" teams till i get a better formation. It Never looks like im going to win the match but im not losing either..... 0-0 against Juve + Arsenal 1-1 Monaco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
