pinardier8282 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Le 01/05/2020 à 00:45, Rober82 a dit : Edit: So I have edited the post here to add some about the marking I have used at Oxford climbing up to the PL. This was discovered first by @Cadoni @RDF Tactics and me, so credit is always shared. I started using it in the whole league 1 campaign, and also in the championship. The results were great, as the AI mostly had below 10-7 shots total and could not create much. There are probably many ways to do this, this is mine. I use a tactic with 2 AMcs, Fire and Water p 103, by @knap, and I mark the link between the midfield and the defense. Normally it is the DLP who is lowest in their midfield, a DMC or a CM who is a bit lower in the set up. The thinking is to stop the AI from playing out from the back by using the closest MC for marking. We are in this tactic pressing hard with 2 amcs and a striker, so the more stress the better. If we make the DLP loose tha ball, great! Maybe he will get stressed an play a poor pass, or maybe he will not get the ball at all. Maybe he will get it but sees no other option that to play it back to the DC who is then being pressured again. This can be used against small teams an big teams, but be aware that City might have Rodri, KdB and B. Silva, who are really all playmakers. But you do not face many teams like that. So how do you find out who to mark? The opposition report and the analyst report tells you so much info. The first page under OI report tells you that when bruno and pogba is playing together it is Pogba who is Dlp and lowest. You can see that on the picture. The second page shows you different things for the last three games. They might have used different roles and players, so look for the one that fits today. There is also the passing network who shows you who all pass to most, and is in the middle of it. Then if you check the "team selection" of AI, it here shows the last game. On that picture you see Fred playing, and as a dlp lower than Pogba. You then know some things. Bruno and Pogba then Pogba is lowest. Pogba and Fred, Fred is lowest and Dlp. Then go to marking, and see who is playing. Here it is Pogba and Bruno. For me it is obvious to try and take Pogba out of the game by using your closest AMC. This player will be bizzy with this, so use your "least important one" and shift sides if neccesary. You can check if it is working by checking key passes, "touches" and posession in the report after the game. It's there if you look. If you are still not sure, check their roles and their key passes in games before. Some formations are harder than others, and I would encourage you to try it out before asking a question Learn by doing! Good luck! You say when they play together Pogba and Bruno, Pogba is the lowest, but you choice to mark Bruno ? We have to mark the lowest MC no ? And I can't see your second SS in my game ? My assitant coach don't tell me things above theirs previous games. Why? Edited May 5, 2020 by pinardier8282 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just showing how to mark and the dropdown stopped at Bruno. This is for that formation, in another maybe we should mark both. Use the analysis before the game, and watch how they play out. Man marking like this depends on the opponents formation.. It's not Plug and Play, and can change from game to game. Most 70% of games lowest just lowest dlp. Sometimes both if 2 dmcs. Sometimes both if 2mcs. Sometimes the dmc and the mc who is leastforwardgoing AND wingbacks. ( Liverpool.)

Earnie is God! Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 @knap With the short wide pitch, I've dropped my D-line back to standard and given my defenders instructions to go a bit more direct with their clearances and also focusing out wide a bit more. Looks like it'll be trial and error for these home games but that's what pre-season is partly for and it certainly worked better, used Wulf 442 with those changes.
