Need help with Leeds tactics

Lack of a defend duty in a two man midfield is a major problem...
 
It is far too attacking. You're only leaving 2 players back (defend duties) when attacking, so you're very open. If you're going to bomb both fullbacks forward, you'll need two holding midfielders. The DLP/S may be okay, but you definitely need a Defend duty next to him.
 
Far too aggressive mate. Have a look at Aramis thread "Leeds United: A tactical experiment" see what he managed to get to with the Leeds squad.
 
I think i have no less then 12 ideas at work now... i also really need to settle on something and work on that thing.
At the moment it seems I can't get a save going with Leeds...

At the time writing this I'm trying :

GK(D)

FB(A/S- can't decide just yet) CD(D) CD(D) WB(S)

DLP(D) - i have other preferences for this role but I don't have the players


CM(S) CM(A)



W(S) IF(S)



DLF(S) - not sure how to make the striker work

All I decided for sure now it's the team shape- structured. And the right approach seems the standard one. Also I would like to play Cook as a CMA. More then that nothing I do seems to work longtime. So I probably can't be much help for you unfortunately...
 
And now I understand better what WJ was asking about how do you wanna play cause i see your TI's and by my understanding it seems you want to counter with a direct style but also the game plan is to control...

Maybe you could try:

GK(D)

FB(S) CD(D) CD(D) WB(S)


DLP(D) BWM(D)


AP(S)

W(S) IF(A)


AF(A)

But tactics are not my strong point so proceed carefully... :)))
 
Thanks for all your help! I managed to recover and gain promotion!
