So by request I made this thread - some of you feel its worth its own space so I decided to honor that and also I have to give you all an apoligy - a legend like Johan Cruyff who have done so much for the sport should ofcourse have his own thread - I didn't think when I released it!! - I was being tired and worn out and just wanted to make this one available.
In all honesty I'm by no means an expert on Cruyff - all I know is he's one of the greatest footballers ever lived and one of the greatest coaches in football history - He have forever put a stamp on football - It will never be forgotten. I did not take inspiration from Cruyff when I created this one - I just thought it would be fitting as he would be playing with something simular I reckon.
About Cruyff's Tribute
The Three Defenders
One ball playing and fairly creative Piquet did a fine job here - His job is to act like a cross between a sweeper and a playmaker from defence - spreading out the passes from the centre of your defending third.
The other two defenders need decent quickness and anticipation - I recently discovered that jumping reach is of much less importance though in the old fm13 it was essential for sure - Now you can benefit alot from having players like Bartra Mammana and even Mascherano - none of these type of defenders are really good at jumping - When that being said I will ofcourse always recommend to get a player with jumping reach if you can.
The two defenders sourrounding the ball playing defender in the centre push forward to close down the opposition strikers - a really neat idea I like alot - that also seems to work well.
The Midfielders & The Defensive Wingers
Starting with the two central men - the deep laying PM on a defend duty creates a beautiful balance between the middle of the pitch and the defence and though he's positioned deeper than the roaming PM partner he is more of a ball playing player than a strong brute that breaks up play - in my case I use Iniesta to do this job and he does this wonderfully.
The roaming playmaker or shall we call him the box to box midfielder with vision becourse that is what he is - he push higher up the pitch than the DLP but he also get back and help out with defensive duties when the ball is lost - I love this role. Ofcause their are big requirements from such a role and I would say an alrounder would do a good job here - someone who is hardworking creative and has technical abilities both offensively and defensively.
The midfielders are flanked by two defensive wingers - I was told this role didn't work - what a bunch of **** - it works perfectly and to be honest - this is one of these roles that I will consider using again for sure. In my case I use Alba and Vidal they obviously have good defensive traits, but can certainly also be of value going forward - I see them score many goals.
Three Special Men On Top
Defensive Forward defend - Poacher - Deep Laying Forward support - these 3 roles just work great in combination with each other - the defensive forward being either Suarez or Neymar - this role I have also been told who wanna use that - this is such a wrong assumption, but I think its becourse when you call something defensive people think they will be only good for defensive things - that's why its good to explore new roles instead of getting stuck on the old ways - I'm absolutely stoked with the role defensive forward on defend duty - the striker in this role are a stress element towards the opponent defense and that helps tremendously with regaining the ball quick when lost on their third
The poacher is the poacher - I love this role and I always have - it might not offer alot towards creating moves and such, but it certainly is a goal hungry fella - I often see through balls being played in the channels between the two opponent central defenders and my poacher leave them hanging and often get a clear cut situation.
The DLP I'm obviously using Messi here and we all know how amazing Messi fits this role - but what we don't know atleast from this formation is that he interacts really well with the roaming playmaker - the right defensive winger and the poacher - so alot of support for Messi and it gets utilized I can tell you.
Individual Training - train the roles or anything complete
Seasonal Training - You Choose - Low Intensity - 30% - Rest After match - Attacking movement
Condition Regeneration Rest Individually - Below 74%=3 days - 75-79%=2 days - 80-83%=1 day

Some people say this is the best tactic - I hardly know what that means - becourse football is such a widespread language - everyone their own opinion and lets be honest - their are many good ones created for fm16
When that is said I invite you to try it out and I could really use everyone's opinion on this one
So please vote what you think at the top of the thread - like the image below
I will post your league tables in the opening post if you post your results in the thread
That's it guys - Thank you for supporting my tactics I really appreciate that and I sincerely hope you will enjoy this one and I really hope it is as good as some people claim it to be
Love you guys - Cheers
