Not huge changes:
Took 'moves into channels' off the pressing forward because I like him to be a presence in the centre of the pitch when we attack, rather than drifting into the channels.
Removed the 'get stuck in' team instruction - all the players have tackle harder selected, so I think it's overkill and without it I can stop individual players tackling harder if they get booked to reduce red cards
Added 'shoot less often' to all outfield players. This is just a personal preference, I hate seeing my players taking on stupid long shots or shots from ridiculously tight angles when a pass is on, so I do everything I can to try to stop it.
I'm wanting to try this tactic with 2 "big men" strikers. Wanting to use Weiper and Lucca at same time. Can you think how I can adapt (if needed) anything with this tactic to suit? Expand
I'm currently playing Weiper at the PF(s) and Evan Ferguson as the AF in a very slightly tweaked version of this tactic. Weiper currently has 94 goals in 87 appearances and Ferguson has 88 goals in 85 appearances.
Added overlap left & right Changed both DM positions to VOL(s) Changed DC position to BPD(Cover) Removed Roam from position from the AF Removed hold up ball from IFs Added cross from byline and run wide with ball to DR and DL Added take more risks to both DMs Added shoot less often to everyone except the AF
Soolgy said: Yeah, I noticed that my team wasn't executing the tactic as effectively as I'd hoped, which made things a bit challenging, haha. Plus, I ran into the issue of not having left-footed players in ML and AMR, as the tactic ideally requires. But with the right players, I can imagine this tactic working very well ^^ Expand
You can always mirror the tactic so that the winger is on the right and the IF on the left, that's what I've had to do in my save because i didn't have left footed plyers
130 points in the first season in the Championship
Sitting top after my last game before the world cup break in season 2 (although teams around me have games in hand)
I made a couple of tweaks in removing stay wider and dribble more from the central defenders, and during games I remove tackle harder from anyone who gets a booking. I also plugged in some of my own set piece routines. We scored 29 goals from corners in season one and 13 in 15 so far in season 2 which definitely helps to win us a few extra points.
