Andyblade Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hi i just wondered if people could help me with my tactic after a good early start to the season when i was keeping it tight at the back and scoring freely i'm now struggling to score or keep a clean sheet. Most of my goals conceded come from crosses into the box and failing to defend corners. Although i have noticed a lot of 35 yard screamers going in as well. i go witha control mentality and a structured shape. My team instructions are more direct passing, shoot on sight, close down more, get stuck in, prevent gk distribution, more expressive and higher tempo. My positions are as follows: GK Complete wing back - attack Central defender - stopper Central Defender - cover Complete wing back - attack Ball winning midfielder - defend Deep lying playmaker - support Winger - Support Winger - Attack Advanced playmaker - attack Advanced forward - Attack If you think there are any things that you would change or tweak any thoughts would be greatly appreciated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackane24 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Your team is extremely unbalanced. The roles are all messed up. Also very weird to play such a possession-based system if you have direct passing and shoot on sight on. Just read threads and posts and you'll learn what to do.

Andyblade Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Thanks for that it was my first tactic ever so obviously it's not that good lol I'll scour the threads to see where I can improve but if anyone could give me a few little pointers on the areas to improve that would be great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benoit2 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 1) You have very attacking wing-backs and wingers on both flanks. Both players will try to do the same thing: get to the byline and cross. There's little point in having two players on the same flank trying to do the same thing. Add some variety by either using regular full-backs, or inside forwards, or whatever else you can think of 2) You dont have proper defensive support in central midfield. You play with two central midfielders and between them, they'll be responsible for guarding the area in front of your centre-backs. If this area isnt covered properly, teams are gonna walk straight through it and make it very difficult for your centre-backs. A ball winning midfielder, even on defend duty, will focus mainly on leaving his position to close down. A deep lying playmaker is more focused on just staying in position, but you're using a support duty. Try to make sure you use at least one central midfielder tasked with just holding position. This is particularly important when you use two extremely attacking wingbacks as you do. It is only now that I read that you concede a lot from crosses, which stems directly from my point 2), and that you concede a lot from 35 yard screamers, which comes directly from my point 1) I think reading the sticky about pairs & combinations will give you some fantastic insight as to what roles you should use throughout your team and how to combine them. Definately worth a read if you're looking for some pointers! edit: shoot on sight encourages long shots, which typically have a low chance of going in. I wouldnt suggest using that shout as a default, only when you're in general just really struggling to get shots off during a particular match. Direct passing is most usefull with quick and or/strong physical players up front. Particularly if you dont have a midfield with the technical ability to create proper chances. Direct passing will often skip your midfield to get the ball straight to your front players. Aks yourself what type of players you have and who you want to get the ball in order to create changes and who you want in the box to finish chances.

vasilli07 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 If you want to play with 2 attacking fullbacks, I will suggest dropping your 2 CMs to DMs to give your team a little more protection. An anchor man and DLP(S) pairing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyblade Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Thanks for your input guys I'll try and adopt this to my tactic just a quick thought instead of playing with wingers would having two raudementors or one raudementor and an inside forward have an adverse effect? I like my wife men to contribute to scoring and assisting and ive played with one raudementor before and was very successful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTHerringbone Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Benoit2 is spot on. Indirectly, your system was taking advantage of the bugs in the previous ME, and those bugs have now been ironed out to an extent. You need to get a better balance throughout your team.

Only my MC's are set to DM strata so it looks like this: Standard - Flexible TI: shorter passing,play out of defence,work ball into the box,push higher up,be more expressive,prevent gk distribution GK - sweeper keeper/D DR - Wing back/S DC - cen.defender/D DC - cen.defender/D DL - complete wing back/A DMR - def.midfielder/D DML - deep lying plym/S AMR - winger/A AMC - adv.playmaker/A AML - inside forward/S ST - advanced fwd/A I'm happy how it works for now..sometimes I'll make AMS to support role, or play control with retain possesion..depends.
