Just start timewasting and lower the tempo, I wouldn't touch the rest of it or you'll invite too much pressure
Earlier I did Brown 4-1-3-2 where the wingers were pushed up. This time I've moved the AM back to CM but added instructions such as "move into channels". Big thank you to @Blau as always.

The set-pieces are basically from Delicious anyway so you shouldn't have to change them, but feel free to play with them
Gets a very similar attacking output to Blaur Diamond Tweak, but is significantly worse defensively. So overall having AMR and AML is detrimental over ML and MR for this tactic
gohan said: hi delicious, can u show me player instruction. please



It's basically the same as the original, just make sure you add "dribble more" and "take more risks" to every outfield player that you can
driko said: Congrats for the top ! what do you use generaly for the team talk before match and half time ?

Just go for what the assistant recommends, although never ask them to do it for the fans. Also not recommended to throw water bottles
Right, another @Blau tweak because I like their tactics. This time I've tweaked the XMAS Tree tactic, changing the DM to a defend duty and adding two SS instead of the AM. I have also added "take more risks" and "dribble more" as I did before.

I've moved the MR and ML up a position each and used them as IF. The rest of the tactic remains the same as the Blau Diamond Tweak. The throw-in routines are a bit weird but I don't think it majorly impacted the result.

Interesting, we'll find out later how important the DM is to this tactic
Played around some more with set-pieces because people were complaining about them earlier. Tested with PSG just to see some crazy numbers.

Changed the set pieces and put the DM back to support. Removed get further forward from DW and IWB.

I don't see why not, it could well work better with a DLP
Schneedler said: I'm having the same issue, tactic is very very strong against similar sides or weaker sides but is struggling for me playing as an underdog and even at times away from home against some weaker sides it's generating high scoring draws, having more success with volts as an underdog tactic so using both tactics just now depending on strength of opposition, from the results others are having this looks to be a tremendous tactic for the big clubs 👏

I think what you could well find is that it underperforms xG hugely as an underdog simply due to quality of player, which is why it works so well at a bigger club
Ok now while it is slightly better, the difference really isn't that much so I don't think my changes really changed anything. However, nice to be on top for a bit!
Firstly congratulations to @Blau for the new top rated tactic. I've kept most of it the same but changed the AM to SS and put the DM on defend. I have also added take more risks and dribble more to all applicable positions.

Hi all, I've changed the DM(S) to DM(D) to see what the impact of that is. It did very well in the league but massively underperformed in the cup competitions.

OUCH. What is happening
Added dribble more and take more risks to all applicable positions. Did better in the league but worse in the cup competitions. Set pieces from ZaZ.

Volantes come in for the regular DMs to check their impact. Aside from that it is more or less the usual. Not quite so good in cup competitions but more dominant in the league, plus including two 8-0 wins in the same season which I've never seen. Set pieces coming from ZaZ.

Hi, a slight change from before with DMs replacing the segundo volantes. Randomly fell off a bit midseason but for the most part was very solid. Set pieces from ZaZ.
