iamezra313 said: Out of interest is there a preferred way of making a more defensive or default version of a tactic like this (e.g. if you were running it with say like a Fulham, Palace or a Brighton for example)? I 100% can see how this would consistently damage with a top 6 side, but for mid table or lower I feel it would need to be a bit tamer? Expand
Apart from the speciality tactics, you can tweak how you like but this is a quick guide AWAY GAMES CONTROL and SUS
With regard to Away games it depends upon your own risk factor. I am gung ho and prefer to attack and perhaps win 1 game in 3. If risk adverse then use a defensive tactic and perhaps draw all 3 games.
As a defensive formation I would use4231 451/ 4141 as it has a DM and protects wings.
AWAY GAME TWEAKS -
Defensive /Balanced Mentality DM on Defend or HB WB on support
The LOE can be adjusted to MID BLOCK CONTROL TACTIC
Remove Counter Press and/or Counter
For a SUS these are ideas to use. Remove counter press counter
Stop WB runs by going to defend or no nonsense FB
Change mentality cautious/Defensive
full SUS would be to regroup and hold shape
Adjust SPs for more players to stay back
I tend to judge what to use by how the game is progressing as you may just to want to control game rather than a full SUS
SUS is to close out a game WASTE TIME. Park the Bus is being defensive from start of game. This would be very Defensive tactic below
