Polski97 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Right, so I am starting my managerial career at one of the lowest ranked leagues I have available to me. I am looking for advice and guidance with my Tactics and players as I go along this adventure as a manager (not looking to promote the team to prem but make it as a manager) Any advice on my setup is welcome. My idea is to play counter attacking football fast and direct whilst being solid at the back. Images attached. i will like to use this thread further down the line to ask for advice on adapting etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you insist on the 4231 specifically, here are the tweaks I would make to your tactic in order for it to be both better balanced and counter-attack-oriented (based on what I saw in your players' profiles): AF IFsu APat Wsu CMde CMsu WBsu CDde CDde NFB GKde Mentality - Balanced In possession - higher tempo and early crosses In transition - counter Out of possession - standard DL, lower LOE and get stuck in These are the instructions I would start with before I see if and what kind of tweaks may possibly be needed. You don't necessarily have to use this particular tactic. Rather use it as some basic idea to think about when setting up your tactic. If you have any questions, feel free to ask 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one on defend duty should be on the left (MCL) and the one on support in MCR. Because the more attacking fullback is the left one (WBsu), not the right one (NFB). 1 hour ago, Polski97 said: Question, how do i make this tactic more offensive and defensive There are different ways. Depends also on whether you want to do that using the same formation (4231) or maybe introducing a new one (e.g. 4411 or 4141dm wide). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a tactic that employs a different style of play, then you should create it in a new slot. Not completely new roles and duties, because it's never a good idea to have tactics that differ a lot. Just a couple/few sensible tweaks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right so following your tactical advice I went on a 4/5 losing streak I believe. Changed it to gegenpress and now smashing each team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
