Hey people, I was talking to my friend the other day and he started talking about barcelona's style of play, I told him its impossible to recreate in FM and he seemed to disagree.

I started thinking what if he was right, there could be away to make the team play like barca and get loads of goals.

The main problem in FM if you're trying to recreate barca's playing style is the possession, I find it very difficult in this game to keep possesion.

If you tend to keep possession it seems you have to sacrifice creating chances,no matter what you try your team will pass the ball around but they will not create many chances.

Now what do you guys think is the perfect passing,tempo,widht,time-wasting to get it right for barca.

I have tried many tactics on here that are barca tactics but they miss the possesion part.

I would also like for someone to tell me the instructions for:

xavi:I want him to play like in real life,spraying balls all over the pitch.Please give me the player instructions for him in detail as hes my most important player.

Iniesta:I want him to dribble and break the opposition defence,also giving amazing through balls to wingers or striker.

toure: I want him to stay back all the time,never go front at all.I also want him to harass the oppositions midfield for possesion.

Messi: Well,i just want him to cut in.


Please help me, i tried every tactic on the web related to barca. I even tried creating mine, they did win me trophies but not the beautiful football as I value it over trophies.
 
i play barca too, .
4-3-3.
xavi,iniesta,messi,henry and eto`o -i give them just alot of creatrive freeedom and let them be very attacking.lots of through balls and mixed crosses,less long shots.
some players that could help you with possesion-Tevez,Agüero,fabregas .
but playing with tougher teams the possesion still is quite even between them.
 
i have messi, silva, xavi and iniesta all on free roles with short passing, no crossing (only full backs do that) and lots of runs. messi does cut in a lot and i get a fair few nice through ball from iniesta. the tactics arent perfect but they work and the football played is nice
this is the team instructions:
 
ok guys i really need you tell me please the perfect settings to keep possesion and create chances at the same time.

Width:
passing:
time wasting:
tempo:

and anything else that can give me 58% or above possession.
 
Low tempo and passing (as low as they go) Middle width and low time wasting.
 
With Messi I will recommend tell him to never cross. This will make him cut inside. I have a similar player Francisco, and I play him AMR. Look at his performances.

I have being trying to do this with my spurs team. It works really well except the strikers are hot and cold (its a tactical issue not a personnel one).

This is a tactic I created for Spurs. There is still a lot of work needed to sort out the strikers but goalie, defenders (both DL and DR capable of playing midfield), one of DC comes into the play a lot and midfield (mixture of resound defense and attack) all work pefectly together and we get a lot of goals from midfield players. I think this with faster strikers whose creative freedom is high would be a treat. Check out screenshots. Tell me what you think (by the way use a largest pitch available):

By the way that Spurs (Barce style) tactics im trying to develop works with possession. Its just strikers that need fixing. Here is me in my most recent outing:

As you will see Chelsea are playing outstanding football and are 2nd in the Premiership. I beat them whilst taking them to the cleaners using attacking football and nearly 60% possession against nearest rivals.

Trust me give it a chance. But fix the strikers.
 
Whats wrong with the strikers? youre the top scorers in the league.
 
Its my midfielders that score my goals. Toulet (MC) and Francisco (AMR) are my main attacking and goalscoring weapons. I posted a thread on help fixing the striker problem. Maybe you could take a look. Their average rating is low for their abilitiy. Maybe Im just a perfectionist :)
