Help! How to beat the Bus?!

[SmoothJitsu]

So in my save with Arsenal i've come up with a tactic that easily beats stronger teams that play "toe to toe" with me.. I've beaten Chelsea 3-0 Tottenham 6-0 Man U. 3-0 (away) and 4-0 (home) and Liverpool 4-1 and Juventus 2-0 (away).. But when teams play defensive, i struggle to get good shots in let alone goals.. I'm very inconsistent against those teams, either i win 1-0 or i lose/draw. How can i "Unpark" the Bus?

You're playing right into the defensive teams' hands! Your front 4 all have attacking duties, so they're just going to go and sit on the D-Line and that's it. No-one dropping deep to open up space for someone else to move into.

You're playing Control, which already has a high line and decent closing down, but you're pushing up more and maxing closing down (hassle opponents) so you're just squeezing play even more. There is absolutely no space in the end.

I really don't know what's up with my players recently but we've been mowing down everybody.. without changing anything actually

Eventually you will run into problems with your front 4. As you do better and better, teams will get more and more defensive. Space will become restricted and your setup won't help then.

If it's working for now, then by all means, use it!

Yeah i'm already preparing a new tactic for the second season as i always hit a massive slump there, but i'll be using this one until it stops working

Defensive Winger options? Make Ox track, and force bender to sit against counter attacking teams!
