fraudiola Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 my current low block iteration [requires ice cold nerves]. soak up pressure. stay compact. restrict space. force them to either take the longshot or go out wide. cross aim target man and cross more on all 4 wide players. mark tighter on both strikers and wingers. close down more on both wingers. when holding on to a late lead - switch AF to PF/s, FB/s, waste time, more disciplined, slow pace down, hold shape high work rate players a good shot stopper keeper as you're going to be conceding a lot of long shots pacey dribbly advanced forwards are OP train set pieces all day everyday required: STRONG target man. he'll be getting on the end of A LOT of aerial duels a good set piece taker set piece routine aimed at the target man. with all 3 ingredients combined we currently have 15 set piece goals in 19 games CBs with aerial prowess to deal with all the crosses due teams playing out wide against your narrow low block (strong LB/RB to defend far post crosses but not that necessary) OI .44 goals conceded from a .86 xGa results so far this season highlight of the season so far - pulling an FM against the superior (for now) RB Salzburg 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to borrow some of these ideas. Never really stressed all the wide areas to cross to TM before believe it or not which sounds like it should be a no-brainer. I was always cautious on Wide Midfielders but on FM23 I don’t think they’re too bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieTZR Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Thank you for sharing, I am a big fan of classic 442 but for an odd reason, it doesn't work too well will FM23. I'll have a look to your approach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
