Technically @CBP87 is, he made that tactic.
CHMs passing more direct, SS passing shorter.



Since this is a tactic aimed at countering Autumn, I am adding the instruction to Trap Outside, because Autumn likes to play mostly by the middle. I also got some player instructions from this tactic.



Jstax said: is overlap on?

No.
Trapping opponents outside, and flank players cutting inside to create numerical advantage in counter attacks.

Maybe it was just statistical noise, but this was my best result with Burnley, winning PL with 84 points and the FA Cup.




FR making more forward runs.



Testing free role in the new context.



Bradjc94 said: @ZaZ would you say personally this is your best tactic?

It is my tactic with most points in FM-Arena.
Testing whipped crosses again now that the frontline behaviour is different.



liamMayte said: Im in a league with people using similar tactics. What can I do to beat them if they have slightly better players or am i just cooked ?

I developed Spring to counter Autumn, but I have yet to test extensively how they fare against each other. Right now, there is a tweak of Spring with very good score: https://fm-arena.com/thread/19886-deadly-spike-v4/
Defenders shooting less often.



Trapping opponents outside, to keep players more concentrated in the middle.



Defensive midfielder taking more risks.



Wingbacks with neutral pressure, like this tactic. Checking if that is disrupting the offside trap in a line of four.



Ace3123 said: Have you tried replacing SS with FR?

I did in a different context, but I will test it again.
Removed press more from wingbacks since wingers are now pressing opponents on the flanks.



Just updating Spring with the latest improvements from Autumn 4.5.



Removed Move Into Channels from AMC, to check if there is some new interaction with the frontline after changes, based on results from this tactic.



Removed Roam From Position, to check if there is some new interaction with the frontline after changes, based on results from this tactic.

It's 2029 and I'm on the 2nd season using the set piece, some tooltips started appearing specifically saying that taking corners like we have been "leaves us open to powerful counter-attacks" or something like that. I have seen at least one instance of one our corners directly leading to an opponents goal through a "Key" moment. It left me confused, as it did not happen a single time on the first season.

The one change is that I lost Lucyo, which was an amazing set piece taker. And now I'm left with guys that are around 3-5 in that stat. But I have not changed the tactic.


If it is something that happens once a season or so, then it is not much to be worried about. I will check if adding an extra stay back in attacking corners hinder too much the goal scoring ability. Thank you again for the feedback!
