The only problem with changing this will be the likeliness of the opposite winger to where the ball is getting into the box as the 3rd striker - they score quite a few goals that way.

As seanhrfc said above, some screenies will help. Which players do you have in which position? Do you use the recommended team training and match prep? What are your coaches like? Do you talk to your players between matches to praise good performance or tell them they need to improve if they are poor?
For the OIs, by far the simplest way to handle is to have an ***. Manager OR coach with decent (15+) stats for tactics and defending do the OIs.
How do you handle pre-match and half time talks? Post match talk is also important.
Let us know, we're happy to help
Your team has some roles changed from the original. Both DMs should be support, both wingers should be attack (and set as wingers).View attachment 332387View attachment 332388View attachment 332389View attachment 332390View attachment 332391View attachment 332392View attachment 332393

Some screen shots of the players you use would also help so we can see their attributes.
You also seem to be using more than just this one tactic, why is that?

Your central defenders are not fast enough. This tactic plays a high defensive line, therefore your defenders need to be at least 14 pace and 14 acceleration (at least) Ideally should be 15 or more or pacey players will get in behind them.

Right a couple of the roles have been changed. The right winger must be on wing attack and the DMs both on support. Also your DCs are not quick enough between them. It can work okay with slow defenders, but you will obviously concede more goals.
You can have maybe one of the DCs slower (never below 12/12) but the other must compensate (15+/15+) for him. But overall I look for 14/14+ in both positions.
Cheers hernes79 and rich_genie for getting there before I did

You make changes to the roles from the original tactics?

My players always complain about heavy load in training. what can we do?? Sometimes i already change to light focus and they still complain it's heavy. Lazy buggers!!! haha.... : )
No changes to original tactics. Phat_Dick who was struggling with the tactic had alterations from the original. As for seeing out a result, I just make sure I have more defensive players on in midfield and I time waste 80+ mins.
Hi,
Not a good idea to use control/defensive mentality to see the match out??
Thanks in advance

A few things i've learnt in my 1st season in the prem with a a side rated well below average...
- Just because it's fluid, it doesn't mean it should work. Being fluid means your players know the tactic however, if you stop tactics match prep too soon, they don't have enough experience as a team playing it to make it reliable. I find this is more important than team cohesion training.
- Pace = Points. I don't mean just sign quick players, but try to keep all but your DMC at around 14+ pace and acceleration. 1st half of the season the majority of my squad was around 12-13 and struggled but since adding to it and upping the average, performances have increased massively.
- GK distribution is very important. I have changed from the original settings to long kick to CF. It gives me more attacking options without relying on sub-standard players to build anything. I use Connor Wickham in the CF role.
- Players can get MUCH better than your staff believe. I have a strikeforce partnership of Luke Freeman and Connor Wickham. My staff believe Wickham can get to 4.5 stars and freeman was expected to reach 2.5 stars at best. Currently Freeman is now at 3 stars with an apparent 1 star left to grow following half a season at a much higher level. So take a gamble on a player who has some of the important attributes of his role and save your money to upgrade facilities.

just free kicks are more effective
