My apologize for unveiling the CA of Alli, doesn't know about that.. I play online's tournaments, so consider the CA cause it's the only thing that matter.. You're right bigpapa, probably only Ziyech is a good comparison for role (cc's with offensive duty) and age (24). Now thinking about a...

Spoiler of Alli's CA

Thank you.. another interesting post but.. My tactic still doesn't run so I give up and change formation..

So how to set up a good defense with 4-4-2? I understand it's difficult cause the two striker that'll never help.. But I can't believe it's impossible to have a solid defense! I don't want to any cost to press. I thought it was the only chance to suffer less the opponents offensive.. But it...

My idea was to transform the 4-4-2 in a 4-1-3-2 in defensive phase to give less space between defense and midfield. The fullbacks are not the problem! They are setted on attack trying to create 2 vs 1 on the flanks in offensive phase, but I ensure you that they work well in defense.. Now my...

Ok at the end of the post I upload the tactic.. Probably I suffer opponents attack from the flanks cause I set quite narrow. But I also suffer central attacks, maybe because my midfield is too offensive? With 4-4-2 it's possible, but I suffer even if the opponents didn't play with offensive...

That's wrong.. We do half work! I don't understand why my defense is so orryfing :(

Thanks a lot.. I modified my tactic and now my offense it's just like what I expected :D Fast transition from defense to offensive players, especially the widers, and then a lot of chances to develop the play. And my team score often! But now.. I can't find defensive stability.. The opponents...

You right. Don't thought that asking for overlap imply the wingers to stay narrower. So if I want to prefer playing on the flanks I need not to set "look for overlap". But in this case, it's possibile to recreate that 2 vs 1 anyway? I think it really could help my offensive phase to be more...

Ops.. My translation was wrong but now you have the answer :) In team instruction I asked to play narrow, but on individual instruction the wingers had to stay wider!

No, I also expect a concrete contribution in goals from the defensive forward.. and also some goals from my cm with his moves into space. Why narrower? I except from them that they move to the backcourt and then crosses for the poacher or the other winger that theorically will cut in the...

Ok.. clearly my best scorer must be the poacher, and it's the only player free from defensive duties in my opinion. The wingers are, in my mind, the main sources of assist, with their dribbling on the flanks and their crosses.. so I maybe need to set "clear/exploit ball to flanks"? The cm on...

So.. I didn't understand your question. :) I try to reply again.. I figured that with these settings I would get a solid defense with a pressing in my halfway and a fast transition style of attack If I still not answered to your question, please explain better because I didn't understand what...

I was looking for a solid defense, not passive. I have only one quick defender, so I set up him with cover duty and the other with tight marking. I tried also fullback with defense duty, but didn't found any differences with support duties! So to have more opportunities in offensive development...
