Working really well in my West Ham test. A lot of possession, defense is tight now.
Just use V1 with these tweaks:
- DL and DR to support duty
- remove 'shoot more often' from MC
- DLP to defend duty (unless you're playing an inferior opponent or you're chasing a goal late in the game)
But: You absolutely NEED fast Central Defenders for this tactic to work well. With the D-Line playing extremely high the opponents will try a lot of long balls over the top. If your defenders are slow, that will get you in trouble. For my West Ham team there's a noticable difference between Reece Burke (10 ACC, 11 Pace) and Reece Oxford (12 ACC, 15 Pace), although both are equally talented. Oxford's speed just helps against those long balls.
