Marco, thank You for detailed report... From what I read, It seam you lack quality upfront. Front three have to be really good for league you are playing in in order for this to work, as, due to structured system, everything is basically channeled trough them. They are the ones that are...

By watching games in extensive or in comprehensive mode. If you see that his GK is passing to his CB-s, then moving ball from side to side looking for an opening, this is slow build up. On the other hand, if you see his GK is punting ball often, this is long ball build up.

Ok, two season later, I have new update on stuff I found using this tactic: 1. Best case scenarios You are playing against 4-4-2 flat. Basically, this is destroyer of 4-4-2. I am yet to play game where I did not had 60+% possesion and over 80% accuracy of my passes, and less then 20 shots...

One more update... I guess I needed for my new striker to blend in and to get him going before he would be effective in this formation. After short tactical experiment, he started scoring in some other tactics, so I returned to this, and it is working like a charm ;)

Glad you like it... Right now, I am having problems with it due to fact that everyone is playing extremely cautious and extremely deep against me, and my chairman soled my best striker, so I having hard time finding adequate replacement, because, well, I am playing Serbian championship and I am...

Training is basic 3 weeks of fitness, then balanced. If you see issues in defense, move to defense, if you see issues in attack, move to attack for short period of time (week or two). Regarding match preparation, I usually follow scout advice, but not always. For example, if I saw some issues in...

Just quick update... After scoring over 100 league goals in first season, in second season, all opponents leave 4 deep defenders behind ball all the time, so it is bit harder to get something out of counterattacks (but still possible), and if you have players a bit reckless, you may find...

This is adaptation of tactic that I found on FMscout web site: Ferguson's Asymmetric 4-3-3 Man Utd 07/08 | FM Scout It looked like interesting tactic, and I give it a go. And, to tell you the truth, it is amazing as it is, there is no particular reason for changing anything. But I wanted to try...

I have no problem forming tactic that gives me results, but I have huge problem in achieving desired style of play, so I need help... So currently, I use two mirrored tactic asymmetric 4-5-1 which looks like this I have identical setup for other side of field, with more attacking right FB...

Probably most crazy formation I have seen posted online, I must try it :D I have had similar ideas, but have little to no success... I was thinking as well that you could use this shape as deeper variation, and have SW there and all other players to move back for one position, , to use it...

I have quite similar formation I am using... I tried lot of different things, and as final result I settled on this: GK-def WB-att CD-cov CD-st WB-sup W-sup DLP-def RPM-sup INF-sup F9-sup DLF-sup...

Well I degree... Both are caused by lack of width. Most of teams will fail to switch ball properly and most of time he will get away with it, same issue you spoted in my formation, and I had not this problem either, at least most of time, but when I did, only change of CM role was not fix, but...

You might be just right on this, as I was thinking same thing for moment... Thanks anyway for your thoughts, to both you and Vasili07...

I was not concise enough obviously... I meant to say that only change of BMB CM to lets say CM-sup, would not do him any good, and it is not solution for his problems. Obviously, his formation is working most of time, as he does not face opponents that see opening, or do not have quality to...

I do not think this is huge issue that he has... He plays slow methodical game, without too much risks, there is lot of movement and lot of options going forward, and likely he will not be, most of times, exposed on counter easily, as once he loses ball, his team is close and in good position to...
