Hey prutton, amazing work on the tactic been having a blast taking hungerford town to European glory, it’s been a very successful 16 seasons.
I was wondering if you had done any tests on the shadow strikers and their weak foots, how important is it to have a good weak foot on your shadow strikers for this tactic or is it important at all, would you give up a few points on acc/pace for it? And what are your general thoughts on weak foots. Thanks a ton.

Can you talk about how you may look to adapt the tactic when we are in lower leagues (vanarama national), for example, is a bpd still a good idea with generally bad defenders? Etc. Also, with my shitty 21st predicted team I did win the title but I seem to be leaking a lot of goals on the latter end of the game, minutes 70+ that cost me a lot of wins - blue on cautious or light blue doesn’t seem to do the job. Is there a more park the bus kind of a tactic you would recommend to close right games out? Thanks in advance <3 Expand
ZaZ said: If you won the league, that's what matters in the end. I think the problem of your team is emotional. When a team is overachieving, it can get nervous in important matches (those deciding the title) or complacent in less important matches, specially when you are winning too many in a row. You need to use shouts and team talk to counter that.
Just remember that you are the weak team of the league. That means your players are worse, making more mistakes than the opponents. Maybe you feel like the BPD or another role costed you a victory here or there, but you need to also consider how many times they made you win against all odds. Expand
True you’re right winning is what matters in the end, but I only have to look back to the last 7 years, took me 4 years to get through playoffs and win promotion to vanarama national and 2 years of coming 6th or so to winning the league this time. Another question I had is the throw ins, the players seem to throw it directly to the enemy team at times and considering there are only the wingbacks defending at the halfway line, I’ve conceded many goals on the counter attack like this. I don’t remember this happening in my leipzig save(I used blue there as well) where I won 2 ucl and 4 league titles in 4 years so maybe it’s just the players but can you think of anything that would fix this? And also can you talk more about how to stop them from being complacent? Because you’re right - my team seems to lose more to lower table teams than bigger ones. Thanks a bunch for the help really appreciate it.
