Yeah i saw that when i was playing but it started of with the STL and the STC so i sorted the STR and then the STL stopped scoring pain in the **** really . v2 is looking ok at the min just got to many injuries.


u´ll get there mate. Top work!
 
Sorry one comment i sort of dont agree with is the Messi doesn't see enough of the ball and the drop deep bit. If you take swap with Villa away he will see a lot more of the ball, He already drops deep enough. if you watch the games it him or Villa dropping in the hole to get the ball. But in V2 Messi and Villa wont be swapping roles. but everything else i will look at cheers

possession looks good and sometimes the tam scores many goals. On the bad side the defenders often have more passes than the midfielders and Messi doesn't see enough of the ball. In real life he drops deep and he receives a lot of passes.Also Busquets stays too high in my opinion.Are you working on these things as well in the V2?

It's just that in the games that I've played with this tactic I had Messi in the middle(without swaping with Villa) and he had a very small number of passes.His rating was good and he scores goals but he doesn't seem to get too involved in the construction.Maybe it's his role.Maybe he would drop even more if he was a deep lying forward.Just suggesting, I don't mean to criticize , you've got many other things right. I really like Dani Alves's movement btw.

It's not criticize mate its something i will look in to just in case i'm wrong. LOL Alves's movement is very good in it. If you think of anything else just PM, trying to make it a great tactic for everyone to use cheers again.

Been reading up on this and very interested in trying it out, so threw it into my liverpool (first season) team, only like 2nd game of the season.
First game nothing special, beat a european minnow 3-0 away but nothing outstanding.
Second game...blackpool away, 0-0. Poor result, but...

Lucas with 144 passes (134 successful)
Alou Diarra 129 (123 successul)
Phil Jones 139 (133)

Amazed really. Will Test it properly over the coming days.

Afternoon FM users.......

V2 is on it's way and looking good. Here are some screenshots of Barcelona playing the same team with V1 and V2 more testing tomorrow hopefully out tomorrow night if anyone cares....

V1 is the first 3 screenshots and V2 is the next 3.
 
SteakFace is certainly right. Total Football has every player swapping positions and moving around the pitch freely, This system is near Impossible to use in modern football.

Messi plays as He feels. He is the only man given a true Free Role in The Barca Team. He is free to drift and drop where he feels. This is to confuse man markers and for him to be most effective. This can be loosely translated on to FM by having him in the AM role as a Trequartista with a defensive mentality.

Villa Pulls inside from the left to give himself more space. But is a Poacher Style forward. And his Role IS impossible to recreate accurately on FM. Pedro is a Definate Inside Forward, plays alot of through balls to the difficult to mark Villa. Barca is ridiculous to recreate on FM. No-one will EVER recreate there system perfectly.

Funny thing about Total Football..... Everyone praises the coach for implementing the system, but once it's in, they get to sit around shouting at their players and offering nothing tactically! Barca definitely, 100% do not use anything close to Total Football.

Tiki Taka was Cruyff's compromise for TF, and it evolved. It isn't the same at all.
 
Looking really good mate cant wait 2 try it out myself....
Take ya time....dont rush......Keep up the good work:D

Congrats mate. Looks like this tactic worked wonders for you.
Out of curiosity, what was your passing ratings against Man Utd?
