I've been trying to make a Tiki Taka tactic with Spain (seemed the best team to make this tactic with) and its been going alright.

The formation and Roles work nicely, and I'm scoring a good amount of goals whilst playing some wonderful football. But my team aren't dominating the game as they really need to. Against small teams (Lichtenstein for example) I had a massive 86% possession and won 12-0. But against Mexico, Argentina (No Messi, Tevez, Cambiasso) England and Greece I only had 51-55% Possession and was dominated. When we got the ball It was great, and we won each game pretty convincingly (3-0 Mexico, 3-1 Argentina, 4-0 England, 3-0 Greece) but we only won because my Backline set up is very very strong...

Any help to up my possession?? If I crack that I'll have a beast of a tactic.


The BETA Tactic is now up. Its largely untested, but from the results im getting it seems to work well. Currently using it with Everton as they aren't know for Pretty, Passing football..

Please download and hit me up with feedback and suggestions :)

Perhaps try setting all your defenders and xavi and iniesta to pressing more. Also set aggressive tackling for all the defenders. I noticed that whilst Barcelona are slow in build up, as soon as they loose the ball they go **** for leather to win the ball back within like the next 20 seconds, literally. Maybe try that mate, it might help you win back possession quicker and dominate the game more
 
The simple answer to total football is short passing, high-normal tempo, hard tackling by your wide men, make sure everyone is on run with ball rarely and long shots rarely just make sure that the midfield is given freedom to put in through balls often and set your wide men/strikers to roam and make sure they collect from deep. Another thing is make sure GK distribution is quick throw to a full back and no one has instructions to hold up the ball, easiest way to play short dominant football.

My only problem as to why I haven't cracked it on 11.3 has been stupid decisions in the midfield giving it away but I doubt thats a problem with Spain. Might want to set you full backs to HUG TOUCHLINE on their wide play as well to act as an outball with them playing through balls sometimes.

The more attacking mentality=More tackles/pressure attempted across the pitch.
 
For higher possession, use low mentality, even defensive, for your defensive midfielders and playmaker, wingers and attacking midfielders little higher than mid-way and striker attacking. Run with ball sometimes for attacking players, rarely for defensive players. And then one very important thing, run from deep, striker can be set to often, others sometimes (wingers and attacking midfielders, maybe wingbacks) or rarely (defensive players). This way they don't look to break the line all the time hoping for a risky through ball, but sometimes stay a little deeper, which means easy passing option for a player in possession.

Through balls mostly to sometimes, only few players can be set to often. Again, they won't look for risky through ball but for easy pass.

Those things maybe doesn't bring too high attacking threat, but keeps high possession, and with quality players you have should still score a fair amount of goals.

I have learned a lot from tic a tac magick tactic from SI forums, great stuff there, maybe the best tactic for 11.3, at least the results what I have seen.
 
reduce through balls, crossing, long shots, tempo. you also need to tackle hard. if you close down alot then do not tackle hard, medium will be OK or else you will give away silly free kicks and will get booked.

I dont want the Attacking side reduced though, when I get possession I score 9/10 times. I reckon with 70% Possession I'll be looking at regular 5-6 nil wins..

Hi Laffles i know me and you dont see eye to eye but i do like trying to help with other peoples tactic's so here's what i thnk might help you. On you forward if you untick hold up ball this should get your forward having more shots at goal. and if you are playing a deep laying mid untick tight marking this should let him move around the pitch a bit better.
