Just an initial test for high possession tactic, to see what direction to follow. This version has shorter passing with high tempo, because more passes means more possession. Average possession was just 43%, though, because it will need other adjustments to keep better possession.

Feel free to post the link if you have it. =)

P.S.: Found it.
Trying high possession tactic with acceptable win rate. This is an initial reference to compare with further versions. Shorter passing and lower tempo, using Autumn 3.46 as base. Possession with Burnley was 42%. Keep in mind possession in FM counts number of passes, and not time holding the ball.

This one does well.
helioserebus said: Hi all,

I am in a search for possession based tactic but could not find any good one. Have been trying top tactics and looks like most of them are counter attack based so I couldnt dominate the ball.

Is there any tactic that you would recommend in this manner?

Thanks in advance!


I will be testing some high possession tactics this week, I want to see if I can achieve over 80 pts with average possession over 55%.

You are welcome! Glad to know you like it.

I do not play on consoles, so I have no clue.
Testing W instead of IF.



liuyt said: Hey so I’m on console and since I can’t download the tactic I was wondering if on the supporting runs you use overlap flanks underlap flanks or balanced for both.

Balanced for both.
Testing different wingers OoP.



Change in wingers OoP.



Changes in AWBs and OCBs to induce overlaps, based on Diaboliq.



Wingers marking wingbacks.



Using a more standard OOP formation, to have a reference for comparison with other versions.



Updated first post with a link to a more defensive version, to be used when you want to hold a score.
Testing FR role like this tactic: https://fm-arena.com/thread/19378-diaboliq-v29-3/

All: Tackle Harder
BCB: Pass Shorter, Trigger Press Less Often
DM: Pass Shorter, Trigger Press More Often
AWB: Sit Narrower, Cross From Byline and Shoot Less Often, Trigger Press More Often
IF: Stay Wider
CHF: Make Less Runs
Goalkeeper dribbling more. The goal is to give time for defenders to get better positioned before receiving passes.



Balanced mentality.
