Hey m8 and welcome. I´m really glad that i helped u achieving something, that was really my idead from the beginning and this is great attitude that you have, there are others in this forum that don´t have those honesty.
Well talking about football, my idea with the advanced wingbacks and side midfieldes, was to make the team more compact, putting player close to each other, creating more superiority in all the zones where the ball is, giving more support for passing and more chances to win the second balls.
This combined with high pressing, makes the opposition trying long passes, because there are no space between lines ( Defense and Midfield).
About the set pieces, i´m going to give it a look !
Yea,I have always employed a high presssing strategy coupled with a counter strategy to make sure all of my team are very focused on first not conceding. It is very consistent with my theory about football,which is basically,the opposition cannot really win if they do not score lol.But the way the wingbacks and wide midfielders together nullify opposition wingers is jsut fantastic and I would have always thought that with a high line and two central defenders,playing wingbacks would mean them getting caught out,but that has rarely happened for me.So yes kudos for you to have that idea.I am right now playing with the idea of dropping the striker to an amc role to see if that helps with making sure the opposition get nothing out of the game at all lol.I am doing great defensively anyways since the opposition rarely sees the ball and when they do its so high up,that other than shooting from long,they do not really have a lot to do. You know what,I might send you the tactic so that you can have a roll with it and tell me what you think about it since you inspired the idea for me.Afterall,this forum is all about sharing ideas to create something magical.
