Hello and welcome everyone to my first ever tactic, so please be kind!
The Formation
The formation is a 5-3-2 with a Libero, 2 limited defenders, 2 wing backs, 1 advanced play maker, 2 insider forwards, 1 poacher and 1 deep lying forward. I like to make unusual formations, but I find they never really work, but this one I have had some success with.
The Positions
Goalkeeper: A good old fashioned shot stopper is what you want here. Nothing fancy, just someone to stop their shots going in.
(Neuer, Reina, Lloris, Casillas, etc...etc)
Libero: This is probably the most important, and hardest position to get the right player for. I have been using Lucas at Liverpool and Parker at Spurs. I would recommend re-training a defensive midfielder to this position. They need to be a good all-round player. Tackling, passing, heading, strength and stamina are all important here. This player will allow your wing backs to push forward, and not have to worry so much about leaving you exposed on the counter. He will also push forward to the opposition half while on the ball, and break up any counters, and look to play through balls into the strikers.
(Lucas, Song, Parker, Vidal, De Rossi)
Limited Defenders: Like the goalkeeper, what you want here are two no nonsense defenders. Tackle and get the ball away.
(Agger, Lucio, Thiago Silva, Terry, Kompany)
Wing Backs: The wing backs will look to push forward, and provide an option out wide after your inside forwards have cut inside. They will look the put the ball into the box for the strikers to attack
(Enrique, Maicon, Marcelo, Daniel Alves, Andre Santos)
Advanced Playmaker: This is another very important position, one that will be looking to provide lots of through balls for the strikers. I would recommend having a very good backup player for this position, as it requires tons of stamina from the player, and they often end up tired.
(Gerrard, Sigurdsson, Montolivo, Pirlo)
Inside Forwards: The inside forwards will look to cut inside, and, usually, play a through ball, and on the odd occasion have a shot. Have players with the opposite for for the wing they are on for the best results.
(Dempsey, Johnson, Hazard, Ribery, Silva)
Deep Lying Forward: This play will look the be getting both goal and assists. He will need to be a good finisher, passer, and have good composure.
(Suarez, Benzema, Jovetic, Vucinic)
Poacher: This will be the player that gets you most of your goals. Pace, acceleration, finishing, heading and composure are all important for this player. A tall player also helps. Get the right player, and you will be in the goals.
(Damiao, Adebayor, Huntelaar, Podolski)
Team Instructions
Match Prep: Very high teamwork until fluid, then average attacking set pieces.
Pitch Size: Any
OI: None
Shouts: None
