vanWolfstwinkle Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I built this 3-5-2 which I think accurately sums up how they played against Barcelona in their 4-3 win. However, I can barely create any chances. I usually get about 60% possession which is good but my front 3 are always pushed up against the opposition defence, not moving around and making space. The ball pretty much is passed between the RPM and BBM with occasional switches to the CWBs resulting in blocked crosses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I see, you are trying to recreate Betis' tactic against Barca with Watford, and you are surprised it does not work as you expected. Neither are Betis and Watford similar sides, nor is Watford likely to face a team playing like Barca (unless they qualify for the ECL), which means that even if your replication of the tactic was entirely accurate (which I strongly doubt looking at your screenshot), it is highly unlikely to work the way it did in the real-life game between Betis and Barca this weekend.

blehq12 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Tactics Explained | Quique Setien's Real Betis This video by Tifo Football can help, although it its outdated as it highlights Setien's early use of the 4-3-3, the principles and PIs listed can be of some use.
