Playing with Positive mentality and Mid Block and testing some new combinations.

A different variation ( W --> DW ) of this tactic.

Using DW with opposite foot on each side.

Zippo said: Hi,

I can't influence on picking the starting elven for a test because the testing is automated so if you want having players with their preferred foot to be opposite to the flank they play then use "Inverted Winger" or "Inside Forward" roles and if want having players with their preferred to be the same as the flank they play then use "Winger" role.

Btw, we've tested different preferred foot for Winger/Inside Forward roles and I can say that the difference was a quite insignificant so it isn't worth bothering.

Cheers.


I still think with the right system there is a difference but as long as you can't influence player selection due to the automated process then it's ok.
@sponsorkindest how do you actually remove dribble more on IW role?
@Zippo In this tactic I have used wingers with opposite foot, so please when the tactic is tested choose players with opposite foot on each side. I think it produces better results because wider advanced players tend to cut to their stronger foot when they get into attacking positions and the difference between the winger role and the inverted winger role is that the winger role holds the width throughout the attack but the inverted winger only holds the width during the buildup phase and then cuts inside.

but this performed worse, right?


As far as I know 51 is a smaller number than 57

Delicious said: I did tested positive/attacking quite alot lately, and after i saw that 433 from opq i did tested it a bit more on my test league, and it seem Positive is a better option then Attacking.

Maybe you are right but i think that its all about balancing a tactic so if you use Balanced mentality, you increase risk with take more risk, dribble more, pass into space etc.. on Attacking mentality you have to do the opposite (not take fewer risk etc) so you balance the tactic. Thats my opinion :)
Delicious said: Attacking, you can check on here(FM-Arena) is providing less perfomance then positive and positive is doing less then Balanced.

Actually in terms of GD "Attacking" was the best result. ;)
