PUSKÁS
This thread is dedicated to Ferenc Puskás, the best hungarian football player of all time and I am sure he is amongst the best 3 in the world of all time. You may know his name with regards of the FIFA Puskás Award.
From Wikipedia: Ferenc Puskás (born Ferenc Purczeld; 1 April 1927 – 17 November 2006) was a Hungarian footballer and manager, widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. He scored 84 goals in 85 international matches for Hungary, and 514 goals in 529 matches in the Hungarian and Spanish leagues. He became Olympic champion in 1952 and led his nation to the final of the 1954 World Cup where he was named the tournament's best player. He won three European Cups (1959, 1960, 1966), 10 national championships (5 Hungarian & 5 Spanish Primera División) and 8 top individual scoring honors.
Puskás started his career in Hungary playing for Kispest and Budapest Honvéd. He was top scorer in the Hungarian League on four occasions, and in 1948, he was the top goal scorer in Europe. During the 1950s, he was both a prominent member and captain of the Hungarian national team, known as the Mighty Magyars. In 1958, two years after the Hungarian Revolution, he emigrated to Spain where he played for Real Madrid.
While playing with Real Madrid, Puskás won four Pichichis and scored seven goals in two European Champions Cup finals. In 1995, he was recognized as the top scorer of the 20th century by the IFFHS.
The tactic is a standard, structured 4-2-3-1, which is played as a disciplined one, with fairly attacking roles/duties on the pitch.
Earlier versions under the spoiler.

Training
Put the tactic to all 3 slots at the start of pre season and set match tactics as match training. The general training should be fitness for 2-3 weeks and team cohesion until the start of the season. During the season for general training use Balanced and Def.Positioning as match training. The slider should be 2 ticks from the left.
At the start of pre season (first 3 weeks)
Afterwards (until the tactic is fully fluid)
During the season
Team talks
I don't like to complicate things in this area, but I always do it by myself. Actually let the overall team talk done by your assistant, but after you do the positional team talk:
Before the match
- Home always assertively: I have faith...
- Away calmly or assertively: I have faith...
Half time
- If leading by 1 or 2 goals: assertivevely/calmly don't get complacent; if more than 2 you should praise them
- If it's a draw or losing: assertively/calmly show me something else
Full time
- If won than praise them
- If drew or lost then assertively chew them out
During the match
- If you do not have the lead after the 1st half, tell them assertively/calmly to demand more or push forward
- If you have the lead than for the last 20 minutes tell them to concentrate
Praising players
When your player have an average match rating above 7.60 for the last 5 games, you can interact with them and say they recent from is good. Only avoid to praise more then 4 players at the same time (obviously if you are on a winning streak and more then 4 players are red hot, then only praise the best 4) and do not praise the same player in the same month again. At least this is how I am doing things.
PUSKAS IV
!! USE PUSKAS IV without OIs !!
Training is the same as in II.1
Most important player attributes
GK – Reflexes, One on Ones, Handling, Communication ,Command Of Area
CD – Positioning, Concentration, Jumping Reach, Tackling, Anticipation
WB – Acceleration, Teamwork, Work Rate, Crossing, Positioning
DLP - Passing, Technique, First Touch, Vision, Decision, Composure
CM - Work Rate, Teamwork, Passing, Technique, First Touch, Vision, Decisions
IF – Technique, Dribbling, First Touch, Agility, Acceleration, Flair, Finishing - best if they are opposite footed
AM – Passing, First Touch, Technique, Vision, Anticipation, Flair, Off The Ball
DLF – Finishing, Off The Ball, Composure, First Touch, Anticipation
Corners
Corner takers should be the AMR from left side and AML from right side, considering they are opposite footed. The important thing is to get it swerve away from the goal. 1 IF is the corner taker, the other should offer short option, this is really important.
