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?
