Kisimba Kisimba is a LLM God!

I think when it comes to creating tactics there are two things you need to know. A) The basics of positioning, tempo and pressing B) In all likelihood, you will not create as strong a tactic as you can find from the people who test theirs and post online, and this is not anything...

Determination is the golden stat

Against top teams, especially away from home, I'd consider dropping the AP for a DM. I'm a little bit biased, as to be honest I struggle to get APs to work on this game, but it would provide you cover at the back and create a pocket of space for your IFs to drift in to. Also, if your IFs are...

I'm also seeing that you are extremely high scoring, with 36 goals in 17 games. To put that in context, this season Chelsea have scored 42 in 20, Liverpool 48 in 20, and and Tottenham on 39 in 20. You clearly have a great tactic going forward, but you might want to look at how you deny space...

I think also you are seriously flooding the central areas. I get that it is your wing backs who are giving you width, but with a striker, a BBM, an AP and 2 IFs you have 5 people who all want to be in the centre of the park, high up the pitch. A DLP with an AP doesn't tend to work well, in my...

Agreed. 442 deep counter. Find hard working wingers/wide midfielders

Brad Smith, turned into a CL standard left back/wing back on mine

Yea I don't think it's a tactic that will guarantee you dominance in a league. It is more a 'percentages' based tactic that will get you results if you build your side around it. I found that the best way to emulate counter-attacking/direct football, was to play a deep 442 with shorter passing...

I've had decent results in lower leagues with a direct 442. Pretty self explanatory: Target Man and Poacher up top, supporting fullbacks, attacking wingers, box to box midfielder and a holding midfielder. Relatively hard to break down and providing you get lots of balls into the box from wide...

awesome blog! I'll check it out! However - in part do you think that tactic is successful because you are the top team in a 1-team league?

Yea I think players are just a lot fitter now? Going back even 7-8 year, strikers were barely expected to press whatsoever. Think about how many goals players like Vardy, Kane, Villa etc get from them or their team winning their ball very high up the pitch. Then try to imagine...

I've been playing with the Libero a fair bit and there's a few tips I've picked up. First things first, when Liberos were effective, teams sat a lot deeper. If you are playing two holding midfielders, plus a high line, there isn't anywhere for the Libero to go and he ends up making short...

Lads I can't get over "NO, you are sell"

I'll take a look! Does it get good results?
