[FM11] Emulate The (Better) Arsenal Tactic

muhammadrizka said:
I've tried several setup about run with ball. Arsenal generally play with one touch pass. They always produce 500+ pass per game. In FM that some of difficult things to do if you allowed (even for some player) to keep ball running with them. So, I choose to give walcott rare with ball. And when in game, I think Walcott looks have run with ball sometimes, of course if there is an opportunity.

Nah, if Walcott is Messi, then I make sometimes :)

More important is to have statistics similar to real life and keep it balance.

Yeah, and if I would be Wenger I would tell Walcott to never run with ball, running is all he can do, nothing more.

Great job there! Haven't tested it yet, but I'm very impressed with the fact that you've managed to get so many passes and good possession stats. Very hard things to achieve with 11's match engine, and you've also succeeded in emulating a real life counterpart. Looking forward to your next projects!
 
Excellent Post.

Have you updated the base tactic with the new roles?

I've continued testing the tactic (unfortunately not as much I would have liked).

The results still point in the same direction:
1) Compared with tactics focused on ball control, yours show the best defence;
2) Till now is the more enjoyable gameplay to watch;
3) The passing stats and goals scored are amazing, it seems that most teams get tired of running after the ball in the second half, and the tactic scores way more goals in this period. The players run way less than the opponents and get a higher average rating.

Will keep testing it during the week.

Great work!

I'm not sure, but I think this tactic will still work fine after all the transfer. I haven't tested yet with the newest transfer update, because there's not an official update (no offence).

You mean how you download this tactic? Or what?
Download tactic available on opening page :)

Oh right, another tactic link now available.

Great, can't wait for the report :)
I'm not using any specific training. As that is not much give an effects for the tactics. You should give more attention in team talk & press conference.

Henry Role: is it possible for now ?

Following my next project about old style Arsenal tactic (2003-04) : Teams of the Decade #9: Arsenal 2001-04 | Zonal Marking
There is very important things to do, The Henry's Role. What Henry did, what the contributions, and effects he gave to Arsenal.

Arsenal’s incredible unbeaten 2003/04 season. It is the best Arsenal season I have ever seen.
Fast, high press, and full of technique. Some people say that the left flank is the strongest Arsenal side. Because on this side there is Cole-Pires-Henry area. And I think Henry plays most influential on this side.

I trying to re-created Henry role that can be applied into FM 11.3.

Okay, I've got several ideas to be applied as the PI. Then I forgot something. Who the players who deserve to play as Henry ? Pacey & technique-blessed ? I give my choice to Walcott. Walcott looks more similiar with Henry than any other players in Arsenal squad this season. At least, Walcott had a fantastic pace also.

Player Instructions

Henry play as striker, always running with ball and then cutting inside to get scoring. Just like the old Messi when his position was on the right, whilst Henry move from left and more up front (cuz sometimes he likes to break offside trap). So, I put the position as Striker Left with Adv. Striker role.

Every role must be have a partner. They will create a balance between the role of each position in the field. Like Henry-Bergkamp. So, I created Bergkamp role also.

Plays as Trequartista with closing down often. Maybe some of you thinking, Bergkamp should play more like Deep-Lying Striker. But for me, they looks play as 4-2-3-1 than 4-4-2 (03/04 season). Bergkamp dropped into space whilst Thierry Henry drifted to the left.

Implementation

As said before, Arsenal 03/04 have the great flank on the left. Attack started from Clichy. #12 play as Bergkamp role (I put Hazard on this role). #14 (Walcott) play as Henry role.

Walcott move on the left side. When Hazard back deeper. And what makes it interesting is when Walcott run to left flank, Arshavin run forward and lokks like swapping with Walcott position.

Walcott get the ball. And now Arshavin put in Walcott position. Walcott have two option to make run inside.

The trully is Walcott are really fast. What running he make and scored a wonderfully Henry-esque goal.

Walcott stats from couple league game.

From 8 apps in the league, he scored 12 goals, make 5 asts, and be the best for 4 time.
Welcome back Henry ! :D

Of course I'll use the tactic, what i mean is it's awesome, 12 goals in 8 apps is awesome, Wenger should try to make Walcott as striker :D
 
Yeah, we know Walcott is blessed with speedy pace. He have good finishing also. But in real life, he missing one thing. He seems don't good in off the ball. He couldn't find a good position as the striker job. I think that's what Wenger considered.
 
Then train him xD, btw I can't wait for the tactic release :D
