I want a formation;

bbm(or dpl or cm)---bwm

if---ap---if

advanced striker(or complete forward or false nine)

You can download it on the first page , I never tried any formation changes yet - Goodluck though I think your idea might work

I think just put Tactic's SS to OP. So everybody can see without downloading tactic.

As for FM, another issue is with the Retain Possession instruction and this is basically an opinion: retain possession TI is not something we would want when playing a possession-based style. Confused ? Well, the TI is what I call a passive instruction because its not meant to build but rather to simply let the time pass, players start pushing the ball to the sidelines, holding the ball onto their feet which eventually will lead to being tackled and loosing possession. Now, if you think about Barca (and I'm talking about the old Pep's Barca) this has nothing to do with their style: they would use a very well supported build game, always passing the ball with low risk, feet to feet, until they would unbalanced the opponent.

I agree, if you watch the games, you'll notice your players (particularly in defence or on the wings) will decide to hold onto the ball for an absurd amount of time, resulting in the opposition stealing the ball from them.

I find it more difficult to get my team to press and win the ball back as Barca do, with their whole "win the ball back in 6 seconds" philosophy.

This could be huge if you put some SS of tactic and table position along with what you have already.

People need pics.

I remember the Barcelona match and all of the articles that went around after the match like the one you posted about re-inverting the pyramid and I don't completely agree. I can't remember where I watched or where I read a different article but I agree more so with that one which argues it is more of a 4-3-3 which transitions into a 2-3-5 or 3-3-4 however you want to describe the exact formation.

In build up play, you have Pedro/Cuenca on the wings and Alexis up top, with Messi dropping into midfield to help build up play. You also have Busquets dropping very deep into the defensive line to help stabilise the defence. So we end up with a basic 4-3-3 formation, albeit a very strange 4-3-3 as we have 2 CB's in FB positions. But sometimes in this match Xavi would even pass very deep back to Valdes just to give everyone enough time to get into these positions.

The transition would then begin when Xavi has a hold of the ball, with Busquets pushing up from defence and Messi pushing up into the front line, but I think these transitions are impossible in FM as it's so complex, so you can only look at the offensive formation and try to re-create this and hope to god you have found a setup which is defensively stable. Re-creating the offensive aspect of a 2-3-5 / 3-3-4 / ??? is doable as you're trying but I think the tactic itself is impossible due to the defensive formation and build up play itself.

Anyway, I've tried to recreate more of a 3-3-4 so I'm not as exposed at the back, will post it here when I've had a decent run of results as it seems quite inconsistent against big teams at the moment even though I'm Barca.

I've taken quite a lot of inspiration and ideas from your tactic as offensively this tactic is fantastic The 2 CB's and 1 HB is the only thing that concerns me as it's very narrow in defence and I found myself being torn apart on the flanks by any team with wingers.

Sorry for my bad english.
This tactic is fantastic. Not the best results, but the games it s incredible sight . Just stats. Metallurg Donetsk in 2015 18 games played 9 won 8 lose 1 draw. 42 goals scored and 42 conceded too. My defense very very bad , but attack.... Wow
