ChristianEriksen - Beautiful play

Started using your tactic when I was 7th in the EPL with Leicester with 9-10 matches to go in my 1st season. First I started using v19 and v.19.17. Results didn't go that well. Then I started using v17 and I won all of my 4 remaining matches of the season. One of the was at the Etihad stadium and I won 4-2 with all goals coming from set pieces(two of the goals were actually own goals. A shot saved by Hart but the ball hits Kompany's/Clichy's body and goes in lol). Whatever... next game vs. Villa won 4-0 with 3 of the goals from set pieces. Set-pieces are very pleasing! Especially when you have someone good who can take them.The other 2 games I won from these four were against Everton and Burnley.
So, those four wins took us to 4th place. AAAhhh yeaaaah! That meant Champions League for Leicester in my 2nd season.
LOOK AT THAT View attachment 315048 first match of 2nd season in the CL with the same starting XI as last season!
 
The latest version 19 seems to be going well for me but I get absolutely hammered by any of the so called top 4, just lost 5-0 against Man Utd away from home...
 
*** ChristianEriksen CD's testing ***
I want to show you how I keep improving the tactic.. And so do you!

As I don't want to play just my career, I always looking for some improvements of the tactic. This time I took a view at the central defenders. The central defenders are really important and I want them to be very solid. They need to stick at their positions and needs to be a stable factor at the back.

Lot of people try the V17 and the V19. Now I want to see what for my squad and for my Paris FC the best defensive set-up is. In V17 I am using for both defenders the 'close down (much) less' option. At the V17 I didn't select any close down option.

My right central defender.. Andre Wisdom. (No pressing method, V19)

I am playing with V19, no tweaks for the central defenders.

My left central defender.. Joshua Nadeau (Closing down much less, V17)

I am playing with V19, with the option 'close down much less' from the V17)

Test outcome.

Conslusion 1
There is no big difference the averages of both players. So, the outcome of this test says that there is no strong correlation in the 'averages from players' and the 'close down option'.

Conclusion 2
The outcome of this test also says that if we look at both versions (v17 and v19) results people have are not because of the defence. As their is no correlation between 'conceding goals' and 'version using'. So it says that if people have good results, for example with the V17 and not the V19, it is because of the attacking (and midfield) set up of the tactic version.

HOPEFULLY THIS TEST MAKE THINGS CLEAR!

Focus on defensive positioning, watch the game, analyze how they play, see it you can find any exploit (for example the flanks and play narrower), use team talks like concentration, etc, etc, etc.
 
On squad selection screen use your assistants advice for player roles and duty yr players will perform much better in there perfered roles.
 
Perhaps should ask this somewhere else or make an own thread for it.

But my god, offensive corners... I've put full backs (one takes the corner), and dmc to always stay back. And I've put wingers to stay back if needed.

Still, they line up beside each other, so that every ball that's cleared longer than the player I have roaming outside the box finds their attacker(s), and then they usually run faster than my players, creating counter attacks every time almost.

Anticipate and put another play to stay back.
 
I must say I decided to give V19 another chance and it seems to work. The defense is still still guilty of complete collapses or just odd moments, though.
 


My first game with your tactic with 2 little tweaks 1st mentality to counter and 2nd with tempo set to much higher tempo.
But i have some questions do you think that we must untick from PI of the right MC and on DMC the Run wide with ball and the dribble more;

No, I don't. When midfielders run wide with ball other players run more out of their position to run into spaces.
