I am very interested. How owe are the team with the tactic? Are they fluid in it yet? I always find the longer my teams play the same way the better the performances, I'm currently playing a possesion based system with Ipswich and it's taken until October November to really get them firing, is...

Wow that does surprise me, yea do that and should see an improvement in the defending let me know if you see any improvement in the system as a whole, let me know what's working well and what's not working so well

Ok cool. Defensively how are your centre backs playing? Do you have any PI's set on them? I've always struggled with mass amounts of closing down as I see my centre backs doing it far too much, which draws them out of position and creates gaps in my team, gaps a fast team like Arsenal may...

What kind of football are you trying to achieve with the second? There isn't much movement between the lines, and some of the TI's you have selected are for the last 10/15 minutes of games

People tend to overthink defensive tactics too much if I'm honest. You won't see many on the forums more on blogs where people like to go in depth into tactics, defensive tactics can just be simple tactics without many/if any TI's

Right I want you to try a couple of this with the tactic and see how they work, remove the shorter passing and retain possesion TI's. This may seem backwards in regards to the retention of possesion but think of it this was, right now you are telling your team to look to the closer player to...

If anyone would like help developing a tactic that isn't working quite so well than let me know in here and I'll help as good as I can

What team you playing as? What tactics have you been using? I'd rather help you learn why your tactics aren't working than just give you one to use

I would say the main problem with your formation is the lack of vertical movement, all of your defenders are set to defend, all of your midfielders are on support, it is very easy to predict what your team will do. Think of LVG at Man Utd, possession galore but a lack of penetration means no...

Give us a brief overview of what you are seeing with this tactic in game and I will try and help you see how you need to develop it to improve

Most of the tactics I have used this year have been more defensive than any other year, I think this game is fantastic for counter tactics, in most games I concede possession to the other team mainly using 4141

Would need to see the match and player instructions used. I like to think Pep's teams are focused around the pivot, so when I try and create them I only use the pivot as a playmaker, I think a lot of things are down to preference though

Great story, following

Good start, keep it up

3 games? Are people still wanting to do this?
