You can win with possession. I wouldn't choose to use a lower tempo but even having very short passes and high tempo can lead to 60% average possession over a season (despite not having many passes which is very odd)

I think it's more the fact that FM is trying to copy real-life in that possession football isn't the best way to overachieve (think Leicester, Luton, even Watford in the 80s)
Wow
Made many alterations to previous versions of this tactic but largely keeping in line with the top tactics currently. The main difference between those tactics and this one is that this uses double AM(S) to try and gauge how much of a difference that makes.

Is that training related ? I always delegate that to the ass man.


Yeah this is training, I would recommend using "Evidence Based FM" for stuff like this but essentially the answer is that physical training and match practices develop attributes faster, notably physical attributes like pace and acceleration
magiyij155 said: We know how valuable acceleration and pace are so wasting CA points on other attributes is not optimal.

So is there a way to accomplish this ?


Have more match practice and physical sessions as they will help focus on that
Thought I'd try something a little different and make a tactic better at keeping the ball. Usually gets high possession with sub-top teams.

 
Massive clean of TIs and PIs while changing IF(S) to IF(A)

GG
Lovely clean PIs, I'm very impressed
+ Attacking Mentality
+ SK(A)

Heavily based on all of the top tactics at the moment, but using a positive mentality.

- Overlaps
- Run wide with ball on WBs
+ Take more risks to AM
+ Pass into space
+ SK(A)

- Focus on flanks
- Pass into space
+ Get further forward on DMs

In this simulation I used set-pieces from @Delicious

These are two excellent footballers it's just that one suits the system more
Chriswin4 said: Bilous the under performing winger -

Tewelde the star -

Both playing as Inverted Winger Support on the Left


1. We can't see their pros and cons on this screen
2. Tewelde is a better dribbler
3. IWs tend to perform better on the opposite side to their feet. Bilous is left-footed and Tewelde is right-footed

If you are playing IWs, I think you would perform better with Bilous on the right
Ultimately I think it's up to you, combine your own experience playing the game with the strongest attributes and the YKYKYK numbers. Personally I like work rate on wing-backs and defensive midfielders, while prioritising speed and dribbling on attacking midfielders and wingers.

Filters will only take people so far, as the best players in the game will always have the superior attributes, especially physically.

When recruiting, I tend to look for those attributes that I consider to be most important and then compare that player with my current starter, using the polygons to assess overall footballing ability.
The tempo has blown my mind, well done mate!
These attacking tactics seem a lot more balanced now. This tactic only having an AG of 50 seems very promising
Testing a 3-5-2 with DMs as it creates a nice M-M shape in possession. Didn't do brilliantly with City but had good goal difference.

New update in the house


Finally goalkeepers will dive from penalties, was annoying me since release
