What is ForeChecking Tactic?
Forechecking is a very unique FM17 tactic with a very unique game philosophy. People who remember 1996 / 2002 years will know legendary Galatasaray team. That team won Uefa Cup 00 and Uefa Super cup 01. There was a very special tactic which is created by current Turkey national team coach Fatih Terim. That tactic was Forechecking tactic.
After long years we know a tactic "gegenpressing" in our football terminology. Gegenpressing tactic by Jurgen Klopp is a small version of Forechecking tactic.
The philosophy behind this tactic is "pressure starts the point where you lose the ball". It has no any certain position on the pitch to take and start pressing opposite team. Your team should shape on the pitch according to the position where you lose the ball. This is the shortest summary of Forechecking tactic.
When you lose the ball, you should start pressing to regain the ball from that point. If you do not do that and come back to take position, you spend more energy. Playing the game on 3th part of the pitch is more economic and more dangerous for rival team. Thats why Forechecking did amazing job for 99'02 Galatasaray team. They dominated Europe football for a long time and took 1th position on best clubs world ranking like 2 years.
I tryed to adapt this tactic to Football Manager 17 I failed like 50 times before i did perfect version for %100 success guarantee.
Forechecking tactic tested on 2 teams from 2 different countries;
Galatasaray - Turkish Premier League ( 3 years )
Torquay United - English Vanarama National League ( 3 years )
My success with Forechecking;
Galatasaray
2 Turkish Premier League championship
1 Turkish Federation Cup
2 Turkish Super Cup
1 Quarter Final Champions League
Torquay United
Championship and promotion from Vanarama National League to Sky Bet League 2
Championship and promotion from Sky bet league 2 to Sky bet league 1

Team Formation
4-3-2-1 Formation;
GK
DR-CB-CB-DL
MCR-MC-MCL
AMCR-AMCL
STC
Right and Left backs will take complete responsibility of your wings. So you will need solid right and left back with good stamina and passing skills.
Using "complete backs" is highly recommended. Dont forget: your right and left backs has %100 control on your wings. Pick them wisely.
Center Defenders; 1 of them should have high pace, acceleration and anticipation against long balls behind your defence line. Most of the time you will play on enemy field so 1 super fast defender is must.
MCR - MC - MCL
These 3 mid fielders should be "ball winning" midfielders with high stamina, tackling, determination, passing and team work.
Important note: These 3 mid fielders are engines of your team. They will control the game.
Important note: MC should be a aggressive player, use someone like "gattuso, or de jong.
AMCR
This guy should be solid playmaker. Good vision, decision making and passing abilities are must. Some flair and finishing abilities will result fine as well.
AMCL
This one is your hidden weapong. "Shadow striker". Your goals mostly will come from this guy. Pick him wisely.
STC
Deep lying forward. This guy is not only a typical striker. He will be your offensive passing station as well. So good phisical abilities, good ball control, and passing abilities needed.
When your team starts to get some familiarity with this tactic you will start to enjoy your teams general progress. Feel free to ask questions about player selections or anything.
