HERE YOU GO !!!

Keep in mind that i have created this around Bayern squad and only tested it half a season. I don´t know if it works in lower league teams or other leagues bigger teams, some changes might be needed, so if it doesn´t work for you, i´m sorry, try to make your own changes. I´m only sharing this because people asked for it and like a lot of you know, i don´t want to be the supreme tactician of FMBASE, i just love football, FM and like to explore every aspects of the game.
This is a possession tactic, for true possession lovers and replicates in my idea and as possible, the 3-3-3-1 system that Pep uses in Bayern.


I don´t "plug & play" so changes must be made.

Use a Centre Back in RB role (those CB with RB roles), if you see the opposition exploiting space in the middle of RB and CB, drag the RB to the center to a "natural" 3 defenders setup (do this during games and start with normal tactic), but pay attention to the space in the right side.

I use the OI´s from my other tactic 3-1-4-2.

so far so good. only played 4 games with it but i have 4 clean sheets!!!!
 
Same match prep as the other tactics too bro...? Giddy as a kipper to be trying this? You tactic masters are spoiling us this FM I genuinely don't know which tactic to use from day to day??
 
I will try the new tactic as a 4-2-3-1 with Dlp moved to the MC line, and IWB moved back to form the straight back 4

Lol i´m not a tactic master m8, i´m a football lover that´s all. :)
The match prep is the normal one i use in all my possession tactics. See in opening post !

Nice m8. That is the idea, i gave u a base, now u can change it to your needs !! I said that from the beginning, what works for me may not work for others. Let me know about that 4-2-3-1

Look how im playing right now ! I´m constantly changing, maybe this is the reason that AI can´t block me and keep getting raped by my team ! :D

think you need to upload the other tactic too :) for all us rubbish people!!!
 
I feel like your last Bayern tactic might be onto something.. I am currently stuck at a Chelsea away match and your tactic was the first to actually get a draw .. even though chelsea was slightly more dominant than me (ADO Den Haag)

Nice bro. It´s normal, Chelsea has a stronger team and great pressing. Let me see those stats !! :)

Plugged the 3-3-3-1 in 11 games into the new season to give it a test against Everton at home. Very, very positive performance. They scored from a header from a deep freekick just inside my half.

Think I'll come back to this tactic at the end of the season, when I have a transfer window to properly mould my squad around it.

Very good m8 ! Complete dominance, that´s what i want for this tactic, COMPLETE POSSESSION and goals. Almost every goal i conceded were from set pieces ( corners, free kicks or penalty). :)
Play with the mentality, Control, Attack or Overload (when its needed).

How are you doing with the first one ?

not quite doing it for me. started off really well 7 clean sheets. but not scoring like you guys. just 1-0 victories. imnot dissing the tactic. i know im not using it correctly but i have no idea how to get the best out of it?
i watch the games but i dont understand what it is im seeing on screen.
****!!! just lost 6-1 v spurs!!!

Hmm. But is the team creating chances ? How are you conceding ? Are you dominating + having possession ?

Try this one too, i´m swapping between them !!

i seem to be doing ok with possession stats and some games i have 30+ shots other games i can 7. they seem to score alot of goals from just passing through my defence and a few from over the top long balls.
dont really know what in game changes i need to make to maximize this tactic
 
home v city. how on earth are you guys scoring so many goals???

Try playing the wingers on opposite flanks. Left foot on the right, right on the left. Apart from Mata, the players behind Rooney there aren't exactly great.

LOKITO - THE GUARDIOLA


CONCEPT
15.2



Well people, this is an update for the old version of the Guardiola Concept.

It consists in a compact 2-3-4-1 in the defensive process and it goes to a 3-4-3 in the offensive process, with very high pressing, trying to "suffocate" the opponents, but with more verticality than the older version, as the team when has space tries to explore it with quick counters.
It´s a very offensive tactic, so i believe is more suitable for squads with some quality, yet it works for me in a LOWER TEAM. :)

Well lets talk about the tactic, there are two systems:




POSSESSION (CLOSE AND OPEN)

USE THE CLOSE POSSESSION FOR ALMOST ALL GAMES AND WHEN YOU FEEL THE TEAM IS LACKING SPACE AND CHANCES, SWAP TO OPEN POSSESSION. OF COURSE THAT IF U LIKE YOUR TEAM TO PLAY MORE OPEN, U CAN USE THE OPEN POSSESSION TACTIC AS THE MAIN ONE.

U COULD USE THE OPEN POSSESSION TACTIC IN GAMES AGAINST TEAMS THAT USE SYSTEMS WITH LOTS OF PLAYERS IN THE MIDFIELD (4-5-1 FOR EXAMPLE)


POSSESSION OVERLOAD

THIS IS FOR THOSE MOMENTS THAT YOU FEEL U NEED TO PRESS MORE.

I DON´T HAVE A DEFENSIVE SYSTEM BUT I USE THE CONTAIN STRATEGY, DROP THE WING BACKS AND WINGERS, CHANGING THEM TO SUPPORT. I CONFESS I DON´T TO THIS MUCH OFTEN SO IF U FEEL U WANT TO USE IT MORE, CREATE A TACTIC BASED IN THIS OR OTHER IDEAS U HAVE.


I HAVE ALSO ADDED A 3-4-3 SYSTEM THAT WORKS VERY WELL IN SOME GAMES. SOMETIMES I USE TO CONFUSE THE AI, I MUST SAY I WORKS LIKE A CHARM FOR ME.





I PLAY MATCHES VERY DYNAMICALLY, SO DON´T EXPECT MIRACLES, IF U ARE THE KIND OF PLAYER THAT UPLOAD THE TACTIC INTO THE SAVE, CHOOSE THE PLAYERS AND GO MAKE POPCORN OR A SANDWICH.
WHEN THINGS GO WRONG, U MUST ADAPT AND CHANGE THINGS DURING MATCHES.




Some things i do during matches:

ALL THE TIME, use TEAM TALKS during matches, ask your players to CONCENTRATE

When you conceed a goal, CALM the players down and then when available, ASK FOR MORE ATTITUDE from the players and etc.

I always start with ATTACK and change to CONTROL when winning by 2 goals or more, trying to maintain the lead.


Sometimes i add HIGHER TEMPO instruction during matches, when i see that we are having difficulties in breaking opposition defence, plus i use the BE MORE CREATIVE team talk.

I DO A LOT MORE BUT LIKE I SAID, U MUST PAY ATTENTION TO THE MATCH AND CHANGE THINGS, NOT RADICAL CHANGES, BUT DON´T BE AFFRAID OF CHANGING. :)
