This time changed it completely to replicate Xabi Leverkusen, the DM version seems more stable than SV but ofc suffers the offensive power that the other has
352 this time trying something new the PF(s) on both strikers with hold position which is meta in some 2 strikers formation seems a strong role with and without the ball, trying also stopper role to mimic some more agressive outside CB without the ball to close down the halfspace.
My most favorite attacking shape in FM 415 with the ball or a wide 235, key are the FB(A) which are very strong on this years game, also love the DM(D) which does appear on the top meta tactic utilizing single pivot love the buildup help he gives.
Love the shape without the ball also the ease of transitioning to attack the FB(s) seems in buildup amazing doesn't rush and stays back to help then goes up and puts crosses while wingers tucks a bit attacking with 5-7 players in the box, similar to how De La Fuente uses his 433/4141
Since FM 23 we have "Cross engagement" with "Invite or Stop crosses" what does this do under the hood ? The explaination in the game is not clear, is it just a defensive width rename or else ?
Cause the trap outside or inside is more about pressing traps at least in theory while this is different would like anyone to clear this
Trying again my favorite IRL shape i love SV more than CM in attack but in FM they are both similar in performance, trying to keep it simple with TI and using stop crosses TI mostly because we play very narrow without much width in defence maybe it helps
The salida la volpiana but the modern and most used way that is done today with Kroos or similar players moving i the defence to make a back 3 in the buildup but they shift in midfield later or keep some sort of hybrig role, love the half back role.
4231 De Zerbi, Flick, Heynckes style old school, based on meta but with changes, no narrow TI, PI changes, stay wider to both CB to imitate the Flick very wide cb with the ball seems solid
Last try for this 352 pretty weak in the meta, added some TI like narrow, focus on flanks, underlaps, invite crosses, and cleaned abit the PI's also PF on support added don't expect much to be fair the back 3 seem very bad.
Basically here, I changed alot of stuff this is based on this https://fm-arena.com/thread/12012-svonnstem-3-4-3-libero-mid-focus/ so just AM instead of strikers seem more realistic IRL also focus play on flanks performed better than middle also many fantastic overloads on the wing is a joy to watch, also some PI changes and minor tweaks, looks very strong
Alexandru said: @infxamus posted great info about traits for problem solving. I am copying it here as it is in his thread:
######### START Traits that are contrasting to team/player instructions will lead to the tactic being less effective
A negative trait for ALL POSITIONS: "Does Not Dive Into Tackles" affects the "Tackle Harder" instruction
Only try putting a trait on the player if he has the ability to do it (example: If a player has high technique and passing "tries killer balls often" trait is a good one
...
For PF - Positive Traits: "Comes Deep to Get Ball" or "Moves Into Channels", "Plays With Ball Back To Goal" Negative Traits: "Runs With Ball Through Centre". Avoid using players who also have "Will Try to beat Offside Trap" or "Gets Forward Whenever Possible" traits for the role because then they'll basically turn into another AF when there's no other playmakers
For IFs - Positive traits: "Runs With Ball Often", "Tries Killer Balls" "Cuts inside from *insert wing here*" Negative Traits: "Likes ball played into feet" (affects "pass into space" team instruction), "Comes Deep To Get Ball", "Dwells On Ball" ######## END
Though as I understood due to changes in "roam from position", new traits will be as following:
For PF - Positive Traits: "Moves Into Channels", "Plays With Ball Back To Goal"
For IF - "Comes Deep to Get Ball" or "Moves Into Channels", "Runs With Ball Often", "Tries Killer Balls" "Cuts inside from *insert wing here*"
Correct me if I am wrong. Expand
The pressing forward is a very weird role, is it basically DLF(s) with pressing maxed ?
