I appreciate the response, so i'm not trying to sound like a knobhead here(i might ), but the whole point of this thread is to increase the frequency. And being a bit knit picky aswell, in my opinion that cross is not from the halfspace, but from the wide right. Not to say i don't appreciate the responses because i do, i just still don't think it's what i'm looking to happen more in the game.

Whether there's 4-5 players in the box, should in my opinion not change whether or not i can in a way instruct my team or some players to specifically cross from the halfspace, which is the whole point of the thread, that it just does not seem all that possible. I couldn't find a way to do that, and from what people have said in here, it doesn't seem like anyone else has found out how to do that.

I'm not too familiar with the Ligue 1 squads, so take this with a grain of salt. However as far as i know, Lens and Nice are two of the better teams in the league and Leipzig are a good team too. Doesn't seem too unlikely to lose especially when your squad isn't much better than the league standard, just my two cents. Saying anything about your tactic is quite hard imo, doesn't look like anything major is wrong with it imo. However without seeing what formation your opponents played and how you conceded your goals, and maybe even more interesting would be to see some of the game against Lens to identify why you only generated 1 chance.

So i've been playing around with my version of an Arteta inspired tactic and it looks like this: The changes aren't all that major, but there were a couple. The 2 IF-s were changed to a W-s on the left and W-a on the right. This was because our attacks were just too narrow, and i didn't like how the focus play right instruction had us playing. I still wanted Saka to be our most dangerous man hence he's on attack duty on the right, and he performed all right. He got 10 goals and 22 assists in the prem in 33 games. Thought his goal tally would've been higher, but those assist numbers more than made up for it. Another change was the DM-d into a DM-s. This was because i felt with the volante still being a dm, while going high, and added central cover from the IWB, i felt that i could allow the other dm to be a bit less restricted, especially considering we would still have 3 really strong defenders behind. The final role change was the keeper, he got defend duty. Why? he just made less stupid passes. The instructions changed a bit though, i wanted the focus play right shout gone, so out with that. Also i read this thread Where some somewhat minimalistic instruction were chosen, and i really liked that idea, so i nabbed it like any good manager does, just steal from people smarter. I did add prevent short goalkeeper distribution, purely because i think the team defends better with it I also added get stuck in, for THE FOGGIN DUELS GUYS Anyhow, here are the results from the first season, with no transfers done. Nearly managed to win the lot, however lost on pens to Brentford on pens while resting basically the whole starting XI ruined that. One thing that did annoy me through this season was Havertz got a long term injury early on, so i didn't really get to use him upfront, which i really wanted, but i guess i can just play on. He did have one major impact though. When we got the pen in extra time i felt it was needed for another Kai Havertz winner against city in a UCL final. Also we nearly got to 100 goals in the league with Gabriel Jesus on 18 goals being our most scoring player, resembling quite well how loads of players chip in to Arsenals goal irl. The defense wasn't half bad either, only conceding 28 goals, which imo is more than acceptable.

Personally i think it should look something like this. 4-2-3-1 chosen purely because it defends mostly in a 4-4-2 from my experience. The volante on attack makes him take up that high left halfspace position, which then pushes the am(ødegaard) over towards saka which is what we see irl. I've given the Lcb stay wider, to try and mimick the 3-2 positioning. Both IFs have been told to stay wider Also the frontline all have roam, which is not necessarily accurate in all games, i just think thats when Arsenal look the most dangerous whenever the frontline roam and rotate with each other. I've given the rb run wide with ball and cross from byline, in the hope it might make him a bit more likely to overlap, alongside the overlap right instruction. In terms of the instructions i think many of them is self explanatory. Will say though, 'get stuck in' is chosen purely for Artetas love for duels, so thought it was fitting. Scored a goal against Forest that shows the 3-2-5 structure that we are looking for perfectly. 5549b31a425afedd47387a6093e2c1da.mp4

I looked through some of KDB's crossmaps from the games he's played this season. 2 halfspace crosses, maybe 3 if you're a bit lenient with what is considered halfspace Well there's obviously only 1 cross here, but he only played like 6 minutes this game, so thought it was still interesting he had a cross there. Here we have 4 halfspace crosses Here we have 3, maybe 4 if the one inside the box is counted aswell Well i guess the point is, considering it's clearly something KDB does several times a game a lot, i think it seems to infrequent in the actual game. I'm still completely open to the fact that i just may not understand how to get my players to do them, but i would love to see actual examples of it happening frequently and on purpose.
