There's obviously no way to create a carbon copy of any IRL tactic due to this being a stimulation game.
This tactic is NOT possession based, the majority of my PI's passing is set to mixed.
Alright I'm testing my own tactics and new ways at the moment just for the fun of it, I now will devote some time on your tactic because I see it have massive potential, but their is a few things I wanna say. The way this formation reacts on the field makes it a possession tactic and very good at that as well, but you can't do it without the right players
(decisions-creativity-composure-anticipation-passing when playing fast direct on the pitch) is very essential skills to perform possession play. Another thing I wanna say is when playing possession I don't think its a good idea to use defensive positioning because possession tactics is a way of defending by itself so you should really go attacking movement or teamwork, further I also think its smart to keep your general training at team cohesion (It helps with morale) I also think 50% match training is good so you dedicate 2 days towards match training, thats my personal choice and that seems to work with most tactics.
This tactic is very special because of its history but also for its complex system, but with the right players it always works.
I just watched the 1st match with this tactic and it was amazing 71% possession against no.6 My team is unfluid and need to learn the tactic before it will take off. I think teamwork will be very good in this tactic when fully fluid.
In the history I remember both Ajax and Barcelona have used a centre striker who is target man like not so fast, I think in this tactic that would be a good choice. That conflicts a little with my Barcelona team, but the amount of crosses are so many both wingbacks and both wingers so its only logic that a strong targetman type could succeed very well here. I'm gonna play a whole season with this tactic with world class players in most positions and I have already edited the setpieces corners/freekicks, but that is all I have changed, I will report back with images when I'm done. I have huge expectations maybe bigger expectations than any tactic I have used so far, for me this is a very underestimated tactic and I believe I know how to fulfill its full potential with my own ideas. I already started to reshape small parts of the squad because I was lacking there. My strikers will maybe be sold though they are amazing strikers, but I need to do it to devote myself to this system.
I'll be back later, but in the meantime try and ask yourself what sort of striker you think you could succeed with in this formation.
Cheers
