could you post a screen shot of your current formation? I think my tactics has been cracked by the AI. Seems to create less chance now doh...
No chance for AI to crack the tactic. I don't believe in it. If it is good enough, with proper players and good motivation you just keep winning. I won't post a screen as it is just the same tactic you download from here and the only thing you'd see is the players I have, but I don't want to spoil the fun of finding your own
If you really need that, just PM me
I really think it is up to the players (abilities) you have and their preferred moves
For example I have a 34 yrs old MC. And he is quite often playing better than one of the best MC's in the game. The only reason I see for that is that he has these abilities:
Dictates tempo, Dwells on Ball, Avoids using weaker foot, Tries long range passes, Likes to switch ball to other flank (the one which is one of the best, which I bought recently (55m EUR ;P) has only 'tries to lob the keeper' :/)
For your wingers it is really neccessary to be fast, very good dribblers, with some good passing ability. Mine also have quite good finishing (the worst being 13) but still they don;t score much goals. They don't have much assists either but from the game I see it is them who are starting actions then pass it to one of the strikers and he passes it to another to score.
For sure cuts inside is a must, but I also like gets forward whenever possible and avoids using weaker foot. It isvery important to stick to what Zero Sea says: AMR needs to be left footed and AMC right footed. This is in my opinion the reason why they don't cross but pass the ball. And this is what this tactic is about (for me of course
) And that's why it is difficult to call them real wingers
In my team the role of wingers is done by my full backs. They are players who have most passes in my team (Amount of passes: FBs>AMRL>DM>MC>DCs>STs)
But let's get back to strikers. For example one of my strikers had 16 goals and 14 assists to his name last season. The other 17 goals and 7 assists (first one have a lot more flair and better passing so this might be the reason) But they have to be fast really fast to be able to follow the actions of your wingers and full backs. I know this is not so many goals but I have 5 strikers, 3 of them young guys, whom I play when regulars are tired and every time I have an easy game.
Another underestimated position is of your Defensive Midfielder. In my team, when we are in attack phase he is always somewhere in the back (around 1/3 of the lenghth from half way line and oppontnts goal line) and any time my players are surrounded by opponent and have no good solution they just pass it to him. I think this is the reason I loose the ball so rarely and have ball (and time) to create my chances. I don;t know this should be the role of MC - that 34 old does that, and that 55m EUR buy does not (plays a little further the pitch), so you have to look closely how your team plays and see what charactersitics are missing, what players you need at the moment, what are the problems and just find the right players to solve them.
There are some tough opponents (Inter, Real Madrid) when the game looks different. When I play inter I have around 80% possesion and around 20 shots but most of them off target. Their defence is just to strong for my tactics. On the other hand they have 0 shots all game.
When I play Real Madrid then it is a goal fest. Last semi-final it was 5-2 at home and 3-4 (for RM) at Santiago Bernabeu (8-6 agg)
Hope this might help you
Ahh and don't forget about motivation. If I don't care about it too much the team starts to play worse.
