Help with fixing this tactic - 433 intended on combining high-pressing football with high possession


Recommended Posts

Context: I typically play the usual Gegenpress on FM because it is the type of football I love watching in real life. However, I have decided to try to move towards a more possession-focused system of play, emulating a Guardiola-esque managerial philosophy. 

The goal of my tactic is high-pressing football and high levels of possession, all intent on creating chances, scoring goals and maintaining defensive solidity. The issue I have is that I am struggling to score goals with this tactic. Defensively, it seems fine, choking out much of the opposition's attack. How can I improve this tactic offensively and score more goals, all while maintaining defensive efficiency?

Ultimately, I want my striker to be the main goal-scoring threat, however, I put the collective over the individual so I don't mind him not scoring a ridiculous amount if it means the team collectively scores goals.

Any help will be much appreciated :)

Drop the AF and open up the width a little? You are setup to control the possession but are also kind of in a typical narrow/direct Liverpool gegenpress w/some of your TIs. I would prefer a role on Bissouma that triggers a rotation for a 3-2 buildup. 

A more patient approach with a Poacher will see you turn the ball over less.

I would, as Cloud9 also suggests, change Bissouma's role and duty to either BBM(s), CM(a) or MEZ(s/a) to trigger a positional rotation and make him be a part of the '5' in the 3-2-5. With both an IFB(d) and W(s) on his side, I don't believe you have to be conservative with his duty and you could easily go for CM(a).
