Best tactic hands down for top teams.
Do you have any PPM recommendations?
Currently I'm just training my players (Arsenal) to copy Barcelona's PPMs.
Also, how do you set up your OIs?
Just assistant manager?
Assistant, usually they should be set by me as i know better who the opposing threats are and how to counter them. But it takes time and i didn`t wanna waste 2 days to finish a season. Your assistant should have high tactics/tactic knowledge determination motivation discipline.
ppms
fake 9 = messi`s. The important ones are
come deep to get the ball (Off the ball, Anticipation, Decisions, Creativity) (to involve himself in the building of the attack) t
ries killer balls often (
Passing, Technique, Creativity, Decisions, Teamwork) (already instructed for direct passing) - to set up team mates that move into goal scoring / play one twos = fasten up the game.
Places shots = the type of finishing. Player will put shots unreacheable for the goalkeeper. (
Finishing, Technique, much Composure). This could have been even better by having "curls ball" but its one of the hardest ppm to train as it requires tutoring.
Lob keeper = 1v1 situation (
Creativity, Technique, Composure, Finishing, Flair, Decisions).
Inside forward (your typical villa/neymar). Remember villa was a striker. Henry was a striker. the reason they were asked to stay by the line is to stretch the defense and create space. When they get the possesion usually they go for the net, allowing alba to stay wide and keep at least a defender there.
So i`ve trained neymar to have
Run with ball often(Dribbling, Acceleration, Flair, Agility), Dribble through center (Dribbling, Flair, Quickness, Balance, Agility) cuz he will cut inside(Dribbling, Anticipation, Decisions, Flair, Agility, Finishing, Passing) and place shots (Finishing, Technique, much Composure) . Basically this should instruct the player to cut inside and shoot/pass. Will train him to "
play one twos" aswell.
Winger (right) the pedro style. (usually second goalscorer)
move into channels/cut inside/place shots/gets into opposition area.
Central midline.
Left = the more attacking midfielder (typical iniesta)
Tries killer/dictates tempo/ play one-twos/gets forard. I`m thinking of training him move into channels aswell.
Right = the DLP, usually xavi, the guy that comes back to take the ball from either busquets/defenders, usually doesn`t venture too much in attack and is almost never to be found in the opposition box.
come deep/killer/dictate tempo/one-twos.
HB - busquets. Originally a def midfielder aimed at recycling possesion and pressing up the pitch, he was later used in guardiola`s setup to help the defenders when wing backs venture in attack (he was even used as cb, which he sucked balls at cuz he had not enough speed to catch up with the loose defenders)
Stays back at all times/ runs rarely with ball/short passing
Left back (alba)
gets forward whenever possible, runs down the left, knocks ball
Righ back (alves). Alves usually is to be found in guardiola`s setup as a winger/defensive winger. There are times when he is even more advanced than the Winger. What his going up allows is the winger to get into goalscoring opportunities by having almost permanently his back covered. In my setup i`ve sold alexis and pedro (each for 40+ mils) cuz i hate them irl and i`m playing deulofeu (cheap free + shitloads of skill). He has over 20 goals, more than neymar simply because alves`s pushing forward.
Runs down right/gets forward whenever possible/dive into tackles/ hugs line/shoot with power (this is not a must, alves has it so he scores some goals aswell).
central defs should have just "does not dive into tackles".
What's the reasoning for the WB and RF down the right hand side?

Messi was not a if/ pedro was not an if aswell. Messi had times when he swapped position with eto`o, being a false nine from his usual winger role. Pedro while under pep i remember had 20 goals a season. pretty similar to my winger ^^
