I think you might be right Jes, however I do feel that in many ways we have been spoilt recently in regards the amount of goals and chances etc from many new tactics created.
No I actually am doubting these sliders - that's why I did the whole experiment - to figure out what we need and maybe what we don't need.
My new unreleased tactic a 433 - 4flat dm 2cm 3sc - My teams gel is good understanding and I am using attacking movement - my team are very strong and regent unrealistic
Vs Athletic de bilbao at home - a really good team normally

One more example 3days later almost the same team vs Athletico Madrid number 1 in the league

So what I did was I put all players on rare throughballs - rare longshots - often run with ball - often crossball
Opponent hardly have a chance and we have lots of chances and should maybe score more in both games - but remember that the team gel is only good and several debutants are being used as well 3 in both matches.
You see I am listening to what you are saying and its good to have a second opinion - because that made me realize I should check something - the experiment above. Thanks for indirectly leading me into this
My conclusion is -
Run with ball is king like small childrens soccer
- having it on often on all players - Throughballs are great as rare - sometimes haven't been tested it might be the great option - we don't know yet - throughballs often affect the defense somehow and you conceede - having it on rare makes defense better - maybe because of lesser mistakes. Crossball often - I don't have any prove if this is a good option - my wide players the FB's didn't cross as much in the example above as they did in the base of this tactic - when sliders weren't touched - normally they would cross between 20-50 - so hard to put a finger on why that didn't happen.
A good test could be run with ball all players and throughball sometimes all players - all means minus the GK
Anyway I thought I saw some promising stuff when putting everything to rare - so I wanted to hear how you would go with that - I'm glad with the feedback I got because it let me to this point - you said things straight and you gave some good examples
Play was beautiful when I played with these settings - that's why I reckon Run with ball is king and then I added crosses into the mix - just in case
- its something to play around with.
Cheers guys
