Thing is, despite this being a good insight (although I question the need for tiki taka threads as we all know how to set it up and its use in modern football is useless) people (like the guy who plays as Deportivo) will fail because they do not have players capable of playing such demands. I look at his tactic and it is quite frankly, awful. It has no balance, silly TI's (like much lower tempo, on standard with short passing you already have low tempo why on earth would you make it slower? Tiki Taka isn't slow. The best football Barca played was fast, quick passing, that is Tiki Taka, not negative keep ball *****). I can guarantee that he doesn't have a good enough defence to play an offside trap. He has no-one attacking the box and an isolated striker. No-one will score goals in such a poor set up, it's on the lowest tempo, narrowest width and shortest passing. With no-one getting into the box and no striker dropping deep enough you will play the worst football possible.
You've told someone to remove pass into space, silly move. Where is the penetration? Barca did play through balls, quite a lot too. Pass into space makes more sense than retain possession. All the TI's are just unnecessary and again, it'll severely limit your play to slow football infront of the AI defence. If you and I, Igneos, were to play a Network game against one another and you used this tactic, I'd beat it comfortably. I'd sit deep, allow you to play your slow and narrow football with no-one attacking my box and constantly counter attack you.
A lot of people when thinking about setting up the old Barca just focus on possession TI's and neglect the attacking aspect of football and Barca. "Retain possesiion, short passing, play out of defence, fluid, control, lower tempo" etc can you not see this will limit you to a one dimensional mess? You do not have a passer of Xavi or an attacker like Iniestia. Nor do you have the ability of Messi. You'll never recreate Pep's Barcelona because of these things. I see people trying with Leeds and Deportivo, losing and then will complain and blame SI. Guess what, you are trying to create a tactic that would take years of building a team capable of playing such a way.
I'm not trying to **** on your thread, I'm just pointing out serious flaws with your OP and the Deportivo guy.
awesome job!!
