Introduction
Ok folks. I have taken on board all the feedback given.
First of all I have to be honest. The initial tactic was a **** defensively and the updates were variations of a ****. It was offensively excellent though. Thank you to all that tested them.
I also took feedback on the corner exploit. As such in testing I switched all my set pieces to mixed and let the tactic roll. The tactic I post however will include the exploit, as simply folk ask for it regardless. If you wish to amend this, then please do so.
Now in testing I decided that a mid/lower team would be required to prove the tactic's worth. Everton were admittedly Mid/higher, so I felt with the defence sorted this tactic should work with a lower level team.
I chose Norwich as they had a nice blend of players and a squad that had players in positions that suited the tactic.
Now, the screenshots below show the league table and various examples of stats in relation to the tactic working.
A more detailed analysis will show you the AML/AMR and FC's roles applying pressure, as with previous versions, is important. I have not included this analysis mainly because its unchanged from the original pressure tactic. Now, occasionally I would use opposition instructions to close down the AML/AMR/ML/MR/AMC. I think there is merit with this approach.
Rationale
This tactic is basically a blend between defensive roles with an attacking mentality. It is also a fusion between pressure and possession.
Goals come from the midfield and forwards. The defence's job is to defend.
Now success with this tactic is dependant upon various factors like all tactics. Team management, team talks, match preparation, player selection with regards to the role required, training and knowing when to make subs and amend tactics when they need amending. I can't play your game for you and neither can anyone else creating tactics. Use your judgement and make mistakes and learn from them.
I have included a "run the clock down" version of this tactic. The reason for doing so is to give those wishing to simply change up with a couple of clicks the chance to do so. For more intricate requests, your on your own.
Now, you will all have questions and that's the purpose for this thread. Help each other and discuss. I'll pop in now and again to answer what I can.
