I usually play with standard
very intersting:
The mentality "control" means that players will use short passes and try to hold the ball until the final shot.
But you use such instructions as "Retain possession", "Short passing" and "High tempo". It turns out that players passes will be more shorter and they try to keep the ball even when there is another variation of the attack. And you use higher tempo, that contradicts to the mentality and your instruction to retain possessions.
How does it work?Can you explain that? Thanks!!
i use high tempo to move the ball around easier and also to unsettle the opposition. I'm not looking to play the barcelona-esque "retain possession". it plays more like the Liverpool side of last season
everything is set and ready to go. just make a copy of the tactic and change the mentality to counter (for tougher games) so you don't have to alter the formation you have already been training on

Seems yesterday he played more in an attacking mindset with two wingers rather than wingbacks. Love this tactic though, at December and have won every game except 2 draws.
I didn't cheat if that's what you are trying to say. Other people who used the tactic can attest to the fact that it's an excellent tactic. No FMRTE nor FMEL involved
He is right, I won the Premier League, Champions League and League Cup with Newcastle United in the 2nd full season I used it, using the "Control" tactic against smaller teams and the "Counter" one against the bigger sides. One of the best tactics out there for me. Well done Agieluma.

ill let you know on results. Im being carlise should be promoted to championship end of this season
Goodluck
I started a new career with them again as I lost my save with them. Bought no players in the 1st season, just followed the instructions and brought in best staff I could to assist me. Finished 2nd and had a chance at winning the league (played Man Utd away on matchday 37 when I was 2 points behind but could only draw 0-0). 2nd season has started of well in the league as I've won 7 out of 7 and I bought 4 players in the Summer (Dragovic, Bender, Strootman and Hemed).

Excellent...
Season went well! Broke the Premier League record for points, but I was disappointed with the way the cups went. Need more firepower upfront for the new season to challenge on all fronts.
