As you can see, Croatian football is about 3-4-3 formation. And my tactic, as you can also see, works in the lowest of leagues.
Basically, a flat 3-4-3 is chosen for a reason. That reason is it features 2 lines of defence, and 3 defenders that feed 3 strikers. Naturally, this is a very fluid setup, to both remove gaps between the lines, and at the same time make us more compact. We can allow this to happen because the lines are flat, meaning there are no AMC's or DMC's who would be left without space for themselves. In a very fluid setup, everyone does everything. GK also attacks, Striker also defends. I have chosen defensive mentality, because with it, the defenders are instructed longer passess, and striker shorter, so the 3 defenders feed the strikers quickly. This is almost impossible for opposition to prevent, as usually at least one defender and one striker is available, and not marked, meaning lots and lots of counters. Very fluid setup is ideal for pressing, so we push much higher up and close down much more, with a very high tempo, leaving opponent no time to organise themselves and breathe. If opponent is more agressive, we counter them, and if not, we use quick passess and work ball into box and use the whole pitch while doing so. Every player roams and looks for space, and is given creative freedom to make a difference. Sometimes, licence to do as you wish brings out the best in players and is the difference between a draw and a victory. However, we use defensive mentality, so players look to defend first, not go guns blazing and leave us exposed at the back, meaning we rarely conceede or give our gk anything to do. However, our setup is quite narrow with defensive mentality, meaning our weakness is defensive set pieces, as narrow setup isn't ideal to defend from corners and freekicks.
If you play on a short pitch, you may wish to choose shorter passing or even retain possession if the pitch is extra small, and if the pitch is long, you may profit from direct passess..Your assistant will notify you during the match of what you should do. In fact, you should always listen to your assistant, as he will not change the core of the tactic, like closing down or defensive line, but rather just the possession TI's, underperforming players, and OI. The tactic will work with no changes in 90% of the matches, but for big wins, you should prolly listen to your assistant.
Enjoy!
I shall give this a spin.
Looks interesting! Gonna try it with FC United.
training, OI? do u use corner and lon throws exploits?
How much time does it take to get familiar with tactics in lower leagues?

Where the **** does that come from?
It's not surely the only way to conceed... And you can be equally exposed down your flanks, making foul and conceding from set pieces if you play wider... it's just down to the other team, to exploit flanks or not...
Btw, nice screenshots! Can you please post CCC's stats?
I'm 2-0 so far in VCN with your tactic... I use AM for OI for my main squad but we cant use AM for OI for our U21 and u18 whatOI is best do u suggest for u21 and U18
Also if someone gets rejected who do u take off?
Tactic updated.
