Hi all! I would like to introduce you to my tactic. I created it specifically for Liverpool and made it the way I wanted, with no compromise. My inspiraton was the original Brendan Rodgers team.
TACTICS: it is 4-4-2/4-2-4, attacking minded. The main idea is to play a quick ball on the ground, with short passes, usually through the wings. The main component of attacking play in this set up are one-two's done by the front four. therefore you need quick and agile players in this area, to take advantage. They must be good passers too.
Another crucial part of attack is deep lying playmaker and his through balls, usually to both wingers breaking the offside trap and setting up strikers with a well placed pass or just hitting the goal.
Because in the middle there are only two players, responsible for both attack and defense, I set the team to be fluid. It will also benefit the wingers who would exchange some passes with full backs up the pitch.
As for defending, initially I made the back line stick closer to the half line, preferably to break the oppositions attacks as quick as possible. However, it resulted in us conceding many goals as a result of through passes or even long balls towards advancing wingers or strikers. Therefore I put the back line closer to the keeper and the positive effects came instantly.

TRAINING: in the build up to the season i set general training and match prep to tactics only. When the season starts general tr. is balances and match prep. focused on defending. It is important to give a lot of attention to defending, as the tatctic is very attack-minded. I'm considering even trying to set gen. training to def.
The results of it were visible during the season. In the game, after the new year, so basically in the second half of the season, I notices supstantial improvement in a defending play of my players, especially back four. They were able to intercept the opp. attacks better and did not let majority of through balls past them.
ADVANTAGES of my tactic: the best thing about my tactic is flamboyant attacking play, scoring lots of goals and often dominating the play.
DISADVANTAGES: playing against better teams you would have to be more carefull. Although the majority of goals concedes against the 'big guns' came from silly mistakes made by particular players.
What frustrated me most, though, was sometimes how the strikers performed in front of goal. They would have many shots at goal but none went past the keeper. But that happens a lot in this game, i think
It's still mid-season. I think that in the second year the tactic will kick in completely and the results will get even better!
Here you have some of the scores and better look at my team:
