Hey guys, it's my first post on this forum so be nice ^^).
Okay so I am on version 15.3.2 and currently in my 3rd season with West Ham (like 5 games in). I would say I have a pretty good team, one which can certainly be challenging for the title with the right type of management.
Here is my squad : View attachment 243750
Decent?
I'm using 3 tactics: HOME, AWAY, CUP MATCHES
Throughout my 3 seasons, my AWAY tactic has constantly been my achilles heel, yet as much as I try to tinker and experiment with the tactic, it just never seems to work. With this years away tactic, I've just lost hope.
Here is my very lazy AWAY formation : View attachment 243749 (How about those editing skills )
Team Instructions : View attachment 243748
More direct passing: I did this because that's just what you do in a counter-attacking formation. You want to transition the ball from defenders up to your attackers as quick as possible.
Pass into space: With the constant waves of attack from my opposition, I figured that this would be an easy way to get a quick goal or two from my strikers, who are quite quick off the mark (Fierro and Valencia).
Play out defence: I found because my opposition (no matter who they were!) were playing much superior to me, if I instructed for my GK to kick the ball out, the opposition would just get the ball with ease and I wouldn't be able to keep them off.
Shoot on sight: Simply, to generate more shots which we definitely didn't get enough of.
Drop deeper: It's a counter-attacking tactic so I don't think it would be wise to risk the opposition strikers running behind my defenders.
Those are the main points that need addressing I think.
No matter how much I try, I never seem to succeed. I'm starting to think that this is just part of the system of the game, that I just HAVE to lose my away games.
So, any advice? Thanks!
EDIT: Forgot to mention, mentality is on Counter and Structured.
EDIT ll: Also, if you could explain why you made any changes so I can learn from you guys that would be great!
EDIT lll: Alsoooo, I don't want any PLUG&PLAY tactics, much rather build up a tactic myself.
CHEERS!
