Why do you play counter with Barcelona? If you think you need to untick that, it is fine. I play with a more controlling type at that position with a low pass rating. And I rather want him to lose the ball high upfield!And the dribble more on the right MC? i think that if is a more def player we must untick. let's see the second match with celta.. I play without Messi. He is injured.. grrrr

He still doesn't sit in the hole though and doesn't offer out wide, but he does seem to stop more counters. Anyone else with ideas?
Nice tactic. I've made a few observations and changed to my preference to TRY and make it more solid, for me personally. I must point out that I'm playing as Spurs and I've changed the right side to be IF (Lamela) and left to be winger (Chadli). I found that the two wide men with attack duties were running away from play when building up and so I've changed Lamela to support and this seems to create a lot of chances for Chadli. Lamela and the F9 drop back and play the ball in field where they play the ball forward to Chadli's run. It just seems to keep the ball a bit better and keep a bit more flow, imo.
also, I hate the way DMs behave in this version and FM13. Seems impossible to keep them in front of the CB's. You take closing down off and they just let payers waltz pastand then give them any closing down and they urn into a headless chicken. I'm ideally wanting him to sit in front of the CB's and then sit at the edge of the centre circle (oppositions half) when attacking to fill the space and stop breaks..it would also be ideal if he offered himself to wide players when they are in possession. The closest I seem to have gotten to this is with a deep lying playmaker (s) with default pressing. He still doesn't sit in the hole though and doesn't offer out wide, but he does seem to stop more counters. Anyone else with ideas?

Three complete strikers at front, two central midfielders, one defensive midfielder and four defenders.
Try! Try! Try!
Well, Defensively you both are totally right. But, when we have the ball the DM (when not playing as a roaming playmaker) couldn't get a rating higher than a 7,0. And yes, I do look at ratings for positions. Only when I was using a roaming playmaker he managed to score a rating higher than a 7,0 and this is probably because of the attacking movement he got.I have the same problem. I normally use an anchor as DM... I play as real sociedad atm and i got ruben neves on a cheap loan to protect my defense, seeing that Samper is a bit weaker defensively.
I feel i'm leaking goals even if i set everything to defensive vs the somewhat bigger teams or on away.
@Eriksen, why did you decide to drop the anchor role in favor of a roaming playmaker? Against a 4-2-3-1, i kinda get destroyed. Both sides have 4+ CCC's each game and the one who can finish the best, wins...
