Good morning!
Well, I'm trying to create a tactic that is completly different from the formations we are used to see. I tried playing with 3 central defenders but that doesn't quite work with the current match engine so I think I've come pretty close to a good tactic! Mind you, I'ts not a diablo, not even by far, so please try to be creative about your reply's =)
Here's the formation:
As you can see, at first glance it looks a lot attacking... I won't be kidding you, IT IS. And, as such, it will leak goals.
Now a bit about the tactic: It is a 2-5-3 but it acts as a 4-3-3 in defense. The midfielders are more of a wing back type of players, pushing from the back to get a pass up front.
The key for the formation is the middle of the pitch. Getting that part crowded (with a DMC, a MC and a AMC) does a pretty good job in having a lot of construction opportunities and shots on target (it doesn't hurt that you have 3 strikers too).
About the players: They are your standard type for each position but I will try to say some details I think are worth mentioning.
ML/R: Retrain your DL/R to this position. As I said earlier, they act more like defenders than wingers, and, as such, you need them to break the attack more often than not. A wonderfull example would be my Fabio Coentrão =)
STRIKERS : I'm not quite sure how to set up the three strikers but this is as far as I've come. 1 poacher, 1 target man and 1 deep lying. this gives plenty of targets up front so that the balls always on that side of the pitch.
The other players are your normal DC, DMC, MC, AMC, with no special attribute requirement that I know off.
Lastly, I'll leave you with some screenies of my results so far, wich have been really good
I've only tested with Benfica, a strong team that figths for the championship everyday. I don't know how this will translate to other teams (weaker teams or stronger leagues).
Fixture of this season:
league table this season:
Fixtures last season: (I don't win them all as you can see)
My pride and joy (last years league table):
Here are some screenies of match stats:
Against weaker teams:
Against a average team:
Agains strong teams:
SO, I wanted you to see if this is just a tactic I designed for my club or if it can translate in good results in other leagues aswell. The tactic is open to criticism so feel free to say what can be changed!!!
PS: HAVE FUN! This is just a game =)
