hi folks,
im new to making tactics. i normally just download other peoples to use but have decided to have a go at creating my own. i like to play as man united and with them having a number of decent strikers i decided to have a go at using two strikers. the 1st tactic i created is shown below
the centrebacks are straight forward with mixed passing as not to limit there options when under pressure. the anchor man offers extra stability and the simple pass to more creative players. i found having those three in the middle enabled my wingbacks to bomb forward to deliver numerous crosses into the box. may note that they also score a number of goals too. the three central mids are the creative ones linking up well with each other plus the DLF resulting in numerous scoring opportunities for the poacher. the central midfielder is on a support duty to hopefully not have too much of a gap between the AM and 3 central mids. i have the DLF on a support setting to link up with the midfield which i think works well but i also have him set to hugs touchline. now im not too sure about that but the idea behind it is to drag defenders with him to make space for the poacher. suggestions on this would be great(i must stress that even with these settings the DLF still scores)i use bony as my DLF(i must stress that i used cavani previousley but have since sold him) and henriquez as the poacher. screen shots of henriquez and cavani below
. now i had played a number of seasons with this tactic and was very pleased with the results. defensively was good and attacking was great but something is missing but not entirely sure where or how? hence this thread so any help or ideas would be great. with the tactic i was (especially at home) having 20+ shots but only scoring 2 or 3 which i thought was a waste(maybe only 1 or 2 CCC) and with the away games i was sometimes letting a halftime 3-0 scoreline end up 3-3 or 3-4 so i wanted to make a more defensive tactic but also to try and convert more chances.
the more defensive tactic is below.i must stress that i have just started this one so by no means finished.
the idea is that the 2 DMs offer extra protection for the 2 CBs. allowing the WBs to do as they see fit hence the automatic setting. the 2 wingers to move forward to supply crosses for the front 2. the DLF drops deep to collect ball for through balls to the poacher. i like the front 2 on 1st tactic but not sure if its correct for this tactic as the idea is to be a bit more defensive. the team settings are a bit of a muddle as not really sure which ones would suit. i have read in another thread that playing through the middle helps with the defensive side of things, what i am seeing so far is that while i create less chances i seem to convert more and the number of CCCs has definately increased i still concede goals.
with the rigid/defensive settings the closing down was set to own half or area depending on the position. so i changed it manually all players hoping to apply more pressure and less time on the ball. not sure if this is the right thing to do.
i will add that this is not a serious save as waiting till final patch is released. so i have let some of my staff do some of the roles, teamtalks etc also let my DOF purchase players for me as wanted to see what would happen. he has spent a fortune but lucky as he has bought some great players. not sure how to upload tactics but if some one can tell me i will gladly do so.
