Mark said: I have tried match plans and it ended with players I wanted on the pitch being substituted in the first half. My testing of the options in the original post were terrible so I have given up on that.
I have settled on using the following:
First 15 minutes Drop Tempo and Trigger Press by 1 notch Defensive Shape back to Mid Block
At 75 minutes Drop Tempo and Trigger Press by 1 notch Defensive Shape back to Mid Block
At 85 minutes if winning Drop Tempo and Trigger Press by another notch Remove Prevent Short GK Distribution Stay on Feet Remove Counter-Press and Counter Remove Distribute Quickly Remove Pass Into Space and Run at Defence Mentality to Cautious
These are the exceptions:
If they Score use the following for the next 10 minutes: Attacking Mentality Be More Expansive
If we Score use the following for the next 10 minutes: Cautious Mentality Drop Tempo and Trigger Press by 1 notch Defensive Shape back to Mid Block
This is a much simpler approach than the one in the opening post and all seems to be working. Should also include Praise whole team when we score but only after the first 15 minutes.
Hope this helps Expand
This is very good suggestion, thanks. If at 75 minute we are loosing or draw with weaker team we still should apply Drop Tempo and Trigger Press by 1 notch and Defensive Shape back to Mid Block? Or maybe different instructions?
From your answer in Problem Solvin v24 thread about foot strength of inside forwards I made conclusion that in this tactic both inverted AML and AMR must have Very Strong right foot and left foot respectively. Is it correct assumption?
Thanks for the answer. By the way are you still suggest also to drop to midblock as default instruction when playing against stronger teams?
