Mentality

[dannyboy50]

Please feel free to move this thread if it is in the wrong place!

Anyway, i understand that as manager of a top 4 side your mentality is generally going to attack, but i was wondering if anyone has any advice on what mentality to use on other teams who are not expected to win every week?
Is it a case of changing it up depending on the opposition?

Also, could anyone tell me what i need to look at when deciding my mentality?

Any help appreciated

Cheers

well rule of thumb:

Position/Table:

20-17: Contain
16-14: Defend
13-10: Counter/Standard
9-7: Standard/Counter
6-4: Counter/Attack/Control
3-1: what ever suits your tactic

these are my rule of thumb each tactic, each formation uses different mentalties and will result in different resuslts

if you play slow and short then a contain/defend/control tactic is going to work well with an overloaded Central midfield and a Dm or 2

if you play wide and quick then you will play out wide and set to counter/attack to get your wingers into the games

there are so many permutations to tactics, you have to find the right one for your players and your team

who are you managing?

You could do it with Fluid- Control at the start then little bit after the game starts like 20 mins put it to Counter or Attacking when i do play as a top 4-6 when playing the smaller teams to not get caught out of position to often so they can counter on my side.

I was managing Leeds, who were struggling near foot of championship.
I have started a new save now with Manchester United.
The query was for future reference because sometimes i get bored and go in search of a challenge like making Sheffield Wednesday great again or something!
