Prologue:
Since about Fm07 or Fm08 or so, the whole winger tactic and TM style tactic has disappeared from the game and communities as it has been extremely difficult to produce a good tactic that exposes the wings and gets in crosses that cause any sort of problem!
You will be lucky if you get around a 25% cross completion rate every game, the highest I have got is 44%, but as in real life not every cross is going to find the target.. So just keep that in mind
This tactic was designed to play quickly and directly out wide and get the wingers to whip in crosses for your strikers to get on the end of! This is still a difficult approach and does not promise success for everyone who uses it, it is merely an attempt to re-create a good old fashioned winger tactic using the modern tactic creator!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I have and I hope it can produce a few good results! Good luck

Match Prep:
Suggested Player types:
Goalkeeper:
Good old fashioned Keeper normal shot stopper etc
(Maarten Stekelenburg, De Gea, Cech)
Full Backs:
Good on defense and positioning, high work rate, good marking, plus: good at running with ball and passing/crossing is essential!
(Schwaab, Fucile, Bale, Gabriel Silva)
Centrebacks:
Composed and determined, pacey and good anticipation is a must, ball player, not necessary, just a good centreback!
(Ferdinand, Kjaer)
Ball Winner:
Good stamina, work rate, tackling, strength teamwork, passing and positioning, good old fashioned Centre Defensive mid, an all round good midfielder adept at defending and attacking!
(Ognjen Vukojevic, Yann M'Vila, Javi Martinez)
Deep lying playmaker:
good at passing, high stamina, good at tracking back helping on defence and picking up the ball deep, he will drop deep and and pick up possession and spray the passes out wide to the wingers, creativity is essential and a good first touch with technique/decisions/work rate
(Rooney, Rossi, Tevez, Berbatov)
Wingers:
Extremely quick, agile, determined good decision makers, high flair and dribbling and crossing. Good off the ball movement, stamina are also very important.
(Hulk, Willian, Di Maria, Gotze)
Poacher:
Poacher, quick and good at finishing, off the ball.
(Hernandez, Lavezzi, Welbeck, Pato)
Target Man:
Big strong, good in the air striker, someone who can hold up the ball and challenge defenders in the air when crosses come in, the crosses are not floated so jumping is not essential.
(Hernandez, Carrol, Necid, Llorente)
Extra Notes:
This tactic requires quick wingers, however, it does not have to have a Target Man, the TM role has been left as defualt to allow you to change the role to suit another player you may have, like Rooney or Cavani etc as a complete forward type player.
The crossing is set to drill as floating does not really work, even for the biggest and strongest type strikers, it does not work! I have tried it over and over again and have seen really bad results with it in comparison to drilling the crosses, you can always play around with it if you want and try floating the crosses in if you have two tall strikers like Crouch/Jones at Stoke and see how that goes from there
I have not set a playmaker and TM as this focuses the play to much on two people, this is a team sport and the entire team needs to get involved!
For away games:
Change to counter and change the shouts to clear ball to flanks instead of look for overlap!
This is also a good idea when facing a strong team at home as well! This needs to be done if you are not the best team in the league
Other than that, good luck and enjoy

Touchline Shouts:
View attachment 241374
Opposition Instructions:
- Assign assistant manager via the Team Policy screen
- I suggest showing all their Attacking players to their weaker foots and closing down their main playmaker as well as hard tackling on their quicker strikers and wingers
- You can also close down and tight mark the most uncomposed central defender and show him to his weaker foot
