4132 - Strikerless Mayhem with a Solid Defence

[charlie1878]

Its working fine for me in my Crewe save i change to counter just before kickoff normally

 

[Mikhail11]

Since the patch i've been struggling a bit. Anyone experiencing the same?

Yes. I will write the complaint to the SI because they haven't told that the update changes ME.

 

[guzzla]

goodluck with that

 

[Traahaaearn]

Updates always have an impact on ME :/

still going strong after the patch, although my defence did take some time to get tighter. bought a lot of players though and adapted hendo to right back (two own goals and a red card lol). not too happy with karius or mingolet tbh either.

changed the DLP to DM on support and changed the AP to a CM with roam from position and move into channels - he's been showing more up front now.

thinking of trying to use the flexible team shape so that the SS are higher up the field when we regain the ball. hope it doesnt hinder the team defensively though as with a fluid approach they usually regain a lot of balls

Would be interessting to se how u do with those tweaks....My results has started to catch up with my team performances now...I score a lot less goals, create even fewer chances, still holds up good defensivly tho.

Couple of months left of the first season, so will have to evaluate more after that.

first game playing flexible

also using low crosses besides the other changes i mentioned previously

we seem to have more presence in the final third - will push on

since changing to flexible we have become even more defensively sound

i'm still not sure if the change is better offensively, needs further testing.

we are still sitting deeper than i wanted when regaining posession though, so i might test a rigid approach, maybe with a counter metality as it has worked well for me previously

after some futher testing i'm pretty confident that flexible is the way to go. havent tested rigid though, simply because the current tweaks are working very well.

would appreciate it if someone could help me test further though before i claim that it is hands down better than the original.

defensively it is clearly better, as it limits the opposition to very few shots. offensively it seems to be too, for the time being, but want to test further.

here is the tactic if anyone wants to help out and give some feedback, cheers!

I'll give it a spin later tonight, and tomorrow...finished with my first season so I'll start it fresh from the second season.

WB mate, some of your old stuff was awesome

Hey Veez, any updates on the tactic? I implemented the changes you proposed, and I feel like my team actually performed a bit worse compared to the earlier version (fluid/AP/DLP). Will you be releasing a 2nd version?

im currently testing to see if these tweaks are making the tactic perform better or not - the plan is to make it as good as possible.

what areas did you consider to be worse after the changes and what were better if any?

 

[kpone]

This tactic is so good

first game 5-0 and 10 players in week squad

Low crosses certainly were an improvement. Shadowstrikers (AMC's) don't tend to be tall guys with good heading. Next to that I felt the fluid style benefited the team more since it behaved as a cohesive unit with a bit more creative freedom. Not sure about the changes to the midfielders. Definitely needs more testing. And as always.. there could always have been other factors at play (morale/injuries), this was just my initial feeling. I'll keep fiddling around with it.

cheers dude! i agree that flexible rendered the team with less creative freedom, so i ticked it in team instructions. i've been tinkering between fluid and flexible lately and tbh, flexible seems to me more stable offensively and defensively. still undecided though lol need more data

the change of AP to CM i think has been very positive as he has been scoring quite a few and on the back of some assists too. before my AP (fred or brozovic) were underperforming
