Playing the passing game in lower league?


Recommended Posts

If i wanted to play a passing game in, say, League Two - are the attributes needed relevant to the division or is it simply a case of my players will need high attributes no matter what.

So say i have the best passers in the league in my team can they pull off a passing style (as they're against lesser players) or will it still mean they can't manage it?

It's halfway through my first season with Stockport in Sky League Two. I've not made any transfers in or out so I have the same team that I inherited. We've got 58% average possession and 83% pass completion so I'd say that it's perfectly possible to play a passing game at that level.

Same as Hovis. I'm playing with a non-league team that has the poorest passing atts in the league. In my initial set-ups we just kept hoofing the ball to the opposition. The successful tactic I hit on involves keeping them very compact, with short passing and average tempo. Now they dominate possession with 60%+ and look very neat and tidy indeed.
