Looks very interesting. Im curious how this is going to work with my team. Will keep you posted.
Okay thx mate, looking forward to it
best barca-based tactic i've ever seen man, cheers.
tho i found some troubles ( i'm using roma )
most notably is the tactic is very counter-attack prone, i don't know about barca but it happens a lot with my roma
the pressing is uneffective. tho it could be down to my players' aggresiveness.
i sometimes found some beautiful passing movement at the edge of the box but it's not consistent either.
but nevertheless, it's one of the best tactics i've tried this season. job well done!

Mate, basically playing with possession football (barca-esque) is weak from counter-attack. Players fluidity and moving around could be easily countered when you don't have really good players to keeping the ball well.best barca-based tactic i've ever seen man, cheers.

I'm very happy to hear that sir
. It's nice when someone also feel the success of this tactic. Would you mind to share your results sir? that would be niceYes indeed, I think every possession based tactic is weak to counter attack football. When i tried this tactic to barcelona and athletic bilbao, i rarely suffered from counter attack. But i got some usefull tips for you;
1) If your team exposed by counter attack try to reduce the defensive line up to 2 clicks, so you will get around 6 clicks defensive line
2) If your team got the majority shared of the possesion but hardly to score, try to reduce the tempo because the opposition might be sit very deep so you need to reduce the tempo in order to play more patiently to get create more spaces to score
3) if the passing game was stiff, try to increase your Xavi role player (MCR) passing range up to 2-3 clicks

Completely fluid, and possession is very, very high. I had 72% away at White Hart Lane.

This tactic doesn't work with a small team 
So, is it works for you? what about results? is it good?
This tactic doesn't work with a small team
what team are you using? but i couldnt say yes, because i myself have never tried it. But i have to admit that this tactic requires sort type of players that can keep the ball for long time especially for the midfielders and it is very hard to find that type of players for a very small team
Results on the last page. Haven't won away from home yet, but also haven't lost! Going to stick with it.

Hulk would be awesome. Neymar, Erik Lamela, James Rodriguez (porto), Eden Hazard, Giuliano, Douglas Costa, Lewis Holtby, Giusseppe Rossi are also great. For smaller team i would recommend Jonathan Viera
around 18 assists, because xavi role is to become the center of the flowing passing game, so all the defenders attention is to xavi and then it could create spaces for another players to exploit. eventhough i set it to rarely, xavi has tries killers ball often ppm so he so he likely to release through pass when he think it's the best option. Also you can find the evidence from last season and this season also where messi is the one who always make assist he had 24 assist last season and know he already has 14 assist compare to 9 by xavi and 5 by iniesta

how about the other games is something like that also happened? from your team passing pattern, i concluded that your opposition play very high, pressing your team high up the pitch. Imagine Real Madrid vs Barcelona in the last two super cup matches, xavi hardly release many passes because real madrid pressing very high
Cheers, all well known players who I'll have a look at them. If I do get one of them, I'll stick Suarez on the left. Brought in Borja Valero to compete with Adam for the Xavi role. Thinking about trying to bring in Cavani at the end of the season to play on the right.
yes, sir. i've tried some other possession tactics with some other teams before but this one seemed too much. i thought the problem was the closing down so i tweaked it. i also decreased the mentality of the attacking players and i think it worked. did i do the right thing?Mate, basically playing with possession football (barca-esque) is weak from counter-attack.

most welcome mate. i'll post the screenshots later and thanks for the tipsI'm very happy to hear that sir

Not saying its not because of the tactic, but Reina is BEAST mode in the FM series I have come to find over the last 2 years, always seems to make incredible saves in the game.
I started a season with Arsenal and I am using this tactic, I will be sure to let you know how it goes! Just bought Hulk, so looking to slot him into the Messi role.
