Introduction
Hello guys , i just finished my first season with FC Sochaux in the French Ligue 1 , and was delighted with the way my team performed , so i thought that i should share my Tactics with you .
Tornado of Souls is a simple 4-2-3-1 , relying on pacey wingers and a solid midfield , it allowed me to win the French Cup ( FA Cup ) and to finish 2nd , just ONE POINT behind Marseille .
We also had the best front line in the league , scoring 90 goals !!!
Ligue 1 final position
French Cup Final
Please feel free to share your experiences using this Tactic , and your own tweaks to make it better . Thank you .
The Tactic
I only tried this Tactic with FC Sochaux ( Media Prediction 11th ) so far , but after missing out on the league with only one point , and winning the French Cup , i thought that it could work for stronger teams or any middle table team in any league .
We did concede many goals ( Mainly due to the fact that my players are still pretty young and developing ) , but we scored way more goals than i thought we could .
The team plays good Football , and scores many goals from open play . The counter attacks are also very effective .
Players roles
Goal Keeper : Nothing fancy here , old fashioned GK .
Full Backs : You need " complete Full backs " , good at defending ( Marking , Tackling , Positioning , Anticipation ) , Athletic and love to go forward ( Crossing , work rate , team work ) ... Seb Corchia and Yassine Mikari performed well for me .
Right Center Back : Your pacey defender , He sits a little bit deeper than your other CB , and his job is to " read " the situations and cover for your other defender's mistakes .
You'll need a fast defender , and a fair amount of intelligence ( Anticipation , Positioning , Marking , Decision making and concentration ) .
Left CB : Your strong CB . He will be a little more adventurous , and go " attack " the ball , before it reaches the opposition's striker . He'll need Strength , Tackling , Marking and Heading as main attributes . Of course a bit of pace or intelligence ( Anticipation , Decisions , Bravery , Aggression and Positioning ) won't hurt ! ^^
Central Midfielders : The KEY positions of the tactic . If you have the right players in these two positions , your team will perform well .
The right Mid is a bit more defensive than the left one , but both sit deep , and don't make forward runs . They'll cover for your Full Backs , and keep dictating the tempo of the game , and try to keep possession .
Their passing is rather " short " , but they are allowed to make through balls , so don't be surprised if they unleash a few long balls to the wingers or main striker .
Their rating won't be high at all , but that is because of the match engine . They won't score many goals , or make many assists ( They will make secondary assists ) , but they are crucial for the Tactic .
You'll need players who are good at defending as much as attacking . Look for solid midfielders , athletic , and who can tackle , pass and work hard to get the ball back and track down any opposition player in their zone .
Wingers : Traditional wingers ( Right footed on the right side ... ) . They are your primary weapon and tool to score goals . They are set to " move to channels " so they 'll need good " off the ball " movement , and also devastating pace and need to be able to beat their man and cross .
I had " raw " players ( Except Boudebouz ) in these positions like Roussillon , Abdoul Camara or Serdar Gunler , who relied mainly on their pace , and they still were pretty " Merveilleux " !
Attacking Central Midfielder : Your playmaker , the Maestro , nothing else to say really . He is set to mark tightly and to close down the opposition though , so he'll need to be fairly athletic and willing to work hard for the team .
CF : Your goal scorer . No creative freedom at all , his main focus is to put the ball in the back of the net . He needs to be pacey , have good movement off the ball and lethal inside the box .
Actually , if you have an " Inzaghi " type of player ( Not very fast or good technically , but very smart and knows how to find the net ) , he can perform well too . I have Alberto Paloschi now , and he is fitting in pretty well .
Others
Match Prep : Team Work ( High ) until the tactic is fluid , then Attacking movement ( Average ) or Defensive positioning if you are conceding too many goals .
Opposition instructions : None .
Team Talk : Up to you .
Pitch size : Normal / Small .
Shouts : I don't use any .
.... Have fun !
