oh sorry, ive been on standard mentality on all games other than one away at man united, where i was on the counter.
my plan wasnt to cross neccesarily but to try and build up use the width and fashion chances through posession. hence i thought a roaming playmaker might work with more defensive covering, thats also why i thought BPDs where a good idea. ive been changing roles basically every game so what im giving you is just an overview of the save as is at the mo
The aim is to play possession and work the ball for players to finish. Thinking with possession in mind, the roles you have:
it seems that if you just change one dlp to anything else youre screwed when you play 4-2-3-1. had a strong start (DDWW) then lost to west bromalona and bayern young boys i think because i shaped up with a back 6 of
FB attack BPD defend BPD defend FB automatic
DLP defend RPM support
im not looking for an overlap anymore, played a semi rotated squad for young boys, but 2-0 and 3-0 really?
surely thats not THAT bad of a tactical shape, also my team hardly created anything. front 4....
winger/IF (support) AP(attack) winger (support)
AF (attack)
aren't really cut out for possession minus the abundance of playmakers; which may be an issue as he RPM and AP seem (I've never actually tried playing with both together, so I could be wrong) to want to play in the same space - hence limiting the area you can work the ball around.
Take the time to read the description of each role and ask how does it help with your objective of possession. Most of your roles still do what they had done before of not being a goal threat and lumping the ball to Kane who, while now is more mobile, will still have to collect the pass, beat a player or two, line up a shot, and score.
Everyone is given the freedom to play killer passes or the freedom to cross, except your striker. The striker is given the freedom to push up and look for space, but he is still the only one looking to be a threat in the box. So you are both blunt in possession and blunt in attack.
You're not screwed because you changed the DLP to something else, you're screwed because you ask defenders to move up to either attack or support the attack and tell a player who would have been covering for that player to do the same.
You've changed some roles around, but you're still pretty much playing the same way as before.
Who is going to keep the ball for you and recycle it with simple passes as the team preps for another attack? Who is going to ensure that as you push players up that he balances the team by staying back? Who is going to score for you? Who is going to provide? How are they going to provide? Who are they providing to?
Generally, the answers to each question involves more than one player, but for most you have one player trying to provide that answer.
