I've attempted to recreate Marcelo Bielsa's way of playing in real life.
He is known for his overwhelmingly high press and having numbers in all parts of the pitch.
I have made 2 tactics, both very similar but one provides a bit of extra cover in midfield.
It would be great if a few people could test them out at different clubs to see how they get on and also what can be tweaked.
(IMPORTANT) Make sure you have these opposition instructions so that the players press constantly off the ball

(I took "close down always" off the strikers. it brings the defenders out of position too much. Maybe mark them tightly)
TACTICS.
View attachment 295708 i use this one most of the time.
View attachment 295707 i use this one for games that i think i will have a tougher time of winning.
Give your team some time to learn the tactic. I've noticed with this being a unusual way of playing it will take a bit more time for your team to get fluid with the tactic.
