Ben Hutton Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Struggling with this system. 1st season was decent, finished 8th and Bayern Munich knocked me out of the German cup. I want to play a gegenpress attacking style. I feel like I'm massively underachieving, got some good wonder kids who suit this tactic and the roles etc but feel like i need some advice. Going forward not to bad, in the top half for goalscoring in the league. I do feel like that could improve even more, as the team isn't creating many chances. Majority of goals being long shots or set pieces. Defensively woeful. Any tips welcome, cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powello Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Firstly, what roles is the rcm playing? it's covered There are quite a few issues with this tactic, but need to see what the other cms role is first Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Hutton Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Box to Box also tried a BWM. Do you think my midfield duo is the main issue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Experienced Defender Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 21 hours ago, Ben Hutton said: This tactic as such definitely has weaknesses. But before any discussion on that, I have to ask you - are you sure that your team is good enough to play such an aggressive style of football in the first place?

Ben Hutton Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 When i first come to Hertha I'd say certainly not but I feel like I've improved the team well enough to be getting Europa League. I think i am going to change style as of poor perfomances and only being mid-table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i am going to change style as of poor perfomances and only being mid-table. I just feel the tactic is too ambitious for the team. Could see better teams passing the ball around you and exploiting your high line. When it comes to being in possession, i dont think your options are very good up front. Id perhaps use the number 10 on support, and make the inverted winger an attacker, then get the full back on that side invloved more. But not knowing the players i dont know. I find i cant really give tactical advice without watching a game. Almost all my successful tactics dont make "sense" because of instructions ive added, yet usually work well. I think people should maybe upload a match, or action from a match now and again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptCanuck Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Not a rhetorical question, I am just curious as someone looking to learn more about FM, but aren't there simply too many things going on in possession? Express yourselves and be creative, but... keep that passing tight don't settle for anything until you're within the box and do it really quickly (over and above the aggressive attacking)! I have a picture of everyone piling into each other at the top of the 18yd box and mentally knackered - unless they have the correct mental attributes of course.
