Meet Frankie Bunn!

I only do opposition instructions unless I play against Arjen Robben (show onto right foot).

Training:
Nothing particularly special. You can do it custom based on recommendation for player roles.

Roles:

Keeper
You could get a keeper that can do everything. Only problem is that his name is Manuel Neuer.

Option 1:
Go for a keeper that's great on the ball but not amazing at one-on-ones, aerial ability and handling such as Ter Stegen.

Key Attributes - Passing, First Touch, Anticipation, Composure, Decisions, Rushing out
Recommended: Claudio Bravo, Mathew Ryan, Mac-Andre Ter Stegen, Manuel Neuer

Option 2:
Get an ordinary keeper that's okay on the ball. Cech is surprisingly decent with 12 first touch and 12 passing. He also has 18 handling which allows him to retain the ball after saves and helps build from the back.

Key Attributes - Passing, First Touch, Anticipation, Composure, Reflexes, One-on-Ones, Handling
Recommended: Claudio Bravo, Manuel Neuer, David De Gea, Thibaut Courtois, Mile Svilar (wonderkid), Geronimo Rulli

Outfield:
As a quick note, I play a very aggressive press. Players will collectively need a high teamwork, work rate and aggression stat. Everybody with tout the £2.5 Million Yaya as the best thing since sliced bread but...

He would kill my press and yours too.

Overall key attributes - Stamina, Work Rate, Teamwork, Aggression, Natural Fitness (recovery between matches).

Key Attributes - Stamina, Work Rate, Crossing, Tackling, Marking, Positioning, Anticipation, Composure, Concentration, Acceleration, Passing
Recommended: Ryan Bertrand, Jose Gaya, Kieran Gibbs, Dani Carvajal, Hugo Mallo, Hector Bellerin

Do not but with less than 15 work rate.

Central Defenders
You need all round beasts. My defenders fit the criteria from the start. Koscielny is a monster.

View attachment 123686

Key Attributes - Tackling, Marking, First Touch, Passing, Technique, Aggression (x3), Composure, (Anticipiation x4), Concentration (very imp), Decisions, Teamwork (offside) and Acceleration

Concentration and anticipation are vital for the same reason. You want your defenders to be capable of reading and intercepting play with a high line. Concentration will reduce the number of mistakes and with the attribute teamwork, it will help with the offside trap. Acceleration is needed for obvious reasons (high line). Centre backs are surprisingly slow this year and finding them with 14+ acceleration is difficult.

Recommended: Laurent Koscielny, Shkodran Mustafi, Jose Gimenez, Samuel Umtiti, Eric Dier, Jemerson (cheap)

For max defensive solidity, train the closing down and marking tactical familiarity sliders until they're maxed out.

Striker (Cheers Klopp)
Alexis Sanchez is literally perfect for the role. 19 work rate and 16 aggression? That's simply insane for nicking the ball back. I recommend hard working false 9 types that are excellent technically.

The tactic is already uploaded in post #11. I will give it a go without OI's and training, hopefully it works like that too.

Edit: Sweeper keeper on attack duty? Really? With Cech's pace?

I played Cech as a goalkeeper with distribute with short kicks. Ter Stegen played on Sweeper Attack when signed.

Not working for me, and the defence is awful

Same here..

2 games for me: Barcelona-AC Milan : 3-4, Barcelona-Inter: 3-3 . So yes, good possession, but baaaaad defense!

So from the ''invisible '' we proceed to '' the defenceless tactic ''

Read my latest post. With a high line, offside trap and insanely aggressive press, your familiarity would need to be maxed out in order to feel solid.

Nice post I will give it a try now, going to start a new game whit Juventus

Enjoying this tactic. It's even getting Depay to contribute.

I call drugs or hacks in that case

Good start for Arsenal. I only made one signing in the summer window, Diogo Dalot, and he plays for my U23 squad.
Couple of changes to the tactic as well, as I don't feel my current players can fulfill the original roles: Cech plays as GK(D) and I also removed the swap positions for AML/STC as I don't think Giroud can play on the wing.
