Senza Attaccante – a Football Manager 2021 Tactic

Posted on May 29, 2021 by Jamie Taylor
Senza Attaccante

We’ve arrived at the latest tactical creation on this website, Senza Attaccante is born. Over the last week, I have been off with a chest infection so have had some time to think about different tactical variations and have posted a couple of these on my Twitter feed.

Two days ago I came up with the idea of a Strikerless playing system, as it isn’t something I’ve really entertained since the failed Geometria project. I wasn’t happy with how that turned out and felt there was more it could be offering.

Senza Attaccante is tactically solid from both a defensive and attacking point of view. It is structured in principles but the whole squad is expected to contribute to each phase of play.

The tactic has been tested with PSG, Pescara, Bayer Leverkusen, Boavista and Southampton and has returned immensely impressive results with all of them.

With Bayer Leverkusen, they won the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal and Europa League all in the first season.

Southampton finished 4th (predicted 10th), Boavista finished 2nd (predicted 8th) both teams had no signings.

Pescara & PSG both had unbeaten seasons. PSG scored an incredible 152 goals and conceded only 4. PSG won Ligue 1, Coupe De France, Trophee Des Champions and UEFA Champions League. 😦

Senza Attaccante – Playing Style

We will be looking to exact a pass and move style of play. We will by design be taking a high-risk approach by proactively looking to penetrate space in the half-space when in possession. Restricting space when out of possession, we will be using the counter-press approach to apply more pressure on the opposition, with the aim of forcing mistakes.

We will develop attacks carefully by cycling possession. Creating pockets of space by pulling opposition players out of position. We will be making use of a shorter passing game, in particular in the more defensive-minded areas with a view to becoming more penetrative in the attacking areas.

Summary

If you are looking for a strikerless tactic that is potent in attack but water-tight in defence then Senza Attaccante is exactly what you are looking for. With this playing system, the AI will find it extremely hard to break down your team and with any mid-range team. You should have plenty of success.

Hi mate thank you for the comment. They are all really good tactics in their own ways to be honest and ultimately the decision will come down to the sort of players at your disposal really, and the positions they play. At the moment I'm really pleased with Senza Attaccante as it plays wonderful football.

hey @jtaylor1409 I hit you up on Twitter about using this tactic with Spurs but thought I'd feedback here. Basically, it's brilliant. I was 6 games into the PL season when I started using this so didn't have a full preseason to bed it in, but that didn't really matter. Kane as SS was ridiculous. 37 goals in 45. Dele got 20 goals and double figure assists as TQ. Son and Bergwijn at ML/MR respectively were excellent and scored and assisted in double figures. We finished 2nd to a Liverpool team that only lost once all season (to us, 5-0 :D) and won the Europa League. Only some injuries and a fixture crunch made me sacrifice the FA Cup semi. Spurs CB/FB's and Lloris are probably not quite good enough to do this tactic full justice but I'll fix that in summer. Well done mate, amazing tactic.

Hello

The defense is very strong, I got 14 games without conceding a goal. However, the attack is not as good with me. 

 

Generally, this is a very good tactic. Good work !

50 goals in 15 games, and you say "the attack is not as good with me". That's over 3 goals per game on average. That is an extremely proficient attacking record.

I got a lot of 1 or 2-0 in my second season

I did a complete simulation with st Etienne from the first day to the last, leaving the management to the director of football and the assistant. results 3rd, 5th attacks and 2nd defense, qualified for the champions league. pretty good.:applause:

Gonna give this a bash to save my skin at Zenit. Currently sitting seven points adrift in third; playing absolutely turgid football. Krasnodar are running away with it at the moment. Should have some players to pull this off. 

Did you give this a go in the end? Let me know if you did and how you got on please. :)
