Zun-Zun's 4-4-2 Diamond
View attachment 208757
Ok, so the tactic is based on a 4-4-2 with a diamond shaped midfield. The main "speciality" in this tactic, is that there are playmakers in all three lines of midfield. (DM, MC L and AM). All of the players are told to take only longshots "rarely". (Except for Lampard in my save, but generally set to "rarely").
Torres and Drogba a SMASHING goals in the back of the net, all the time (very unlike real-life (unfortunately )) and Mata has 20 assists for 19 games or so
The tactic is kind of half-and-half of possession and direct play, both are like a knife through melted butter. Depending on the opposing team, the possession varies.
My pitch i sized "medium".
Throughout pre-season, set match preperation high to very high workload, with focus on teamwork.
During season set match preperation average to high workload, with focus on attacking movement/defending set pieces.
The player roles are set as followed:
GK: Regular goalie.
DC L: Limited defender with "defend" as duty.
DC R: Ball playing defender with "defend" as duty.
FB R/L: Set to support. Has to have some decent crossing and/or pasing skills, since the formation's got no wingers. Longshots set to "rarely"
DM: Deep lying playmaker with duty set to "defend". Set longshots to "rarely"
MC L:Deep lying pm, duty "support". Longshots "rarely", Run from deep "often", Run with ball "rarely", crossing "rarely".
MC R: Ball winning midfielder, duty "Defend". "Rarely longshots", throughballs "sometimes".
AM:Trequartista, duty "attack". Longshots "rarely", if good dribler; run with ball "often". Tick as playmaker.
ST L:Poacher, duty "attack". If the player has ok passing; set throughballs to "sometimes". Otherwise "rarely" along with longshots.
ST R:Targetman, duty "attack". "Rarely" longshots, run with ball "sometimes".
I haven't been playing this for very long (I'm going to update this OP), but here are some results, analysis etc.
