I made it to the Championship and stopped with Nuneaton last year. This time, we're gonna go all the way.

can you try to make central forward version of this tactic ? a lot of underdog teams dont have two shadow striker
I'm not the tactic creator, but I imagine he'll suggest you playing your strikers there. It doesn't really matter if your players are natural there.

This year I will finish this, and not just hit the Championship and stop...

Love it! Big fan of Ralph, he's quietly doing a great job at the Saints and this looks like a faithful reproduction of how they set up. Nice work.

It's definitely possible. But yes, the high line/counterpress will give your team a higher ceiling in terms of results - specifically if you're a top team.

Hey @Timo61, great stuff.
EDIT: Don't worry, sorted it. Was some pesky conflicting editor data files.

Yep, completely impossible in the current edition of FM.
I even tried it using the Libero exploit (where you could get your side CBs to play as Liberos and it still was nowhere near.

Nuneaton Town Season 2023/24
Season Review - Table - Transfers - Finances - Profile - Squad
Promotion! Felt like a real slog to be honest, as multiple postponements for waterlogged pitches, cup replays, international call ups meant we were never comfortably in the top 3 due to usually having about 3/4 games in hand. We did the double over champions Plymouth but finishing above them seemed unlikely all season. We took Cardiff to a replay in the 4th round of the FA cup but they eventually got us 3-2. Next season I'm more than happy for all my transfer budget to go onto sorting this pitch - if we're behind and struggling with postponements in the league above we could be in trouble. Same level as Coventry next season which means no more free loans... Still nothing from the youth academy though - the board keep batting away any requests for training or youth facilities, but I have managed to get them to raise the junior coaching and youth recruitment.

It's closer the day when I will start my long term save, raising from the bottom league (level 20) an amateur team with 0 reputation, 0 balance in the bank, no stadium, no players up to the top of the world... Kudos to @Dan BHTFC
You crazy man. I like it.

Not sure about lower levels but my observations suggest that vertical compactness in general is less important on this years' game.

Really enjoying this @crusadertsar.
My take on Bielsa has always been minimal TIs, a similar tactical shape but playing on 'overload' or 'very attacking' so I'm glad we have similar ideas but different execution.
Also thank you for reminding me how sexy that Sociedad team and Oyarzábal are - I've never had the money to get him. Very nice.

@yellowforever @Experienced Defender Greatly appreciated the advice
Saw some positive changes in the way we played during the first match, but at the end of season now so will reserve judgement until a few more games played (providing I dont get sacked).
In rergards to tough away fixtures i.e Barca, Real, Valencia and possible Champions League opponents, would possibly changing the metalitly be ok in order to keep to the tactical identity?
Dropping the mentality a bit is not a bad idea away from home.

Beautiful! I love my Heffem skin but I think I'll give this one a try.

Maybe get the CBs to take fewer risks? Occassionally your CBs (especially if they aren't great and you're getting pressed high) will just lump it.
As said earlier I don't like regroup - with possession based formations and teams that tend to attack through the middle, counter-pressing is very effective. For example if your AM loses the ball you will have a lot of players in that area to win it back.
I don't like the AM (S) there. You have a DLF (S) ahead and 3 midfielders behind him so I'd like an attack role there. I'd try either a Treq or SS there as they are extremely aggressive either with the ball and it's roaming or with the SS's runs into the box.
Good luck, it's a good formation in my opinion.

Although Atleti are great on the counter, a good 1/3 of the games you're going to play will be against teams who just sit back and you need to find a way to break them down.
1. Lower DL and LOE is fine at the Bernabeu and the Camp Nou but you'll cede too much of the ball against the weaker teams
2. Not a fan of only having one attack duty. I'd make Lodi a WB (A) and Correa a W (A). Trippier as a FB (S) behind and get him to 'cross from deep'
3. Lemar may be left footed but on my Atletico save he was probably my best player cutting in from the left as a WP. You could give that or a IW a go to make space for Lodi going forward.
4. With Lodi going forward you might want Trippier to be a bit safer - I'd try him as FB (S) and cross from deep.
5. If you want to funnel the ball through Saul and Koke a lot I'd change them to roles that naturally attract passes more. All of the playmaker roles tend to be ball magnets rather than standard CMs. Maybe Koke as DLP (D) and Saul as AP (s)? Two playmakers next to each other doesn't always work but might be worth a go.
Just some thoughts, feel free to discount them. I made a reasonable Simeone 4-4-2 in the Beta with some of these features.

It's not bad at all mate. First thoughts would be that with that shape and a strong team you can afford to up the mentality to positive, or maybe attacking at home; especially as you don't have any 'exploit middle/right/left' or 'overlap/underlap' instructions. Aside from that my two thoughts would be:
1. Width. You're now one of the big boys, teams will defend compactly and deep against you. You have a narrow TI, both of your wide players are sitting narrow and your sole attacking width will be from your left back. It's not a bad idea having one full back very offensive and the other one sitting in but it will limit your wide attacking options.
2. F9 is a decent option with two wide players on attacking duty, but I'd also like a third player from a deeper position running forward. Maybe it's worth having a play around with a MEZ or CM on attack in that right midfield slot. You have a FB (S) on that side so you should be fine defensively.
Just some suggestions, good luck.

Looking forward to managing my university in tier 11. Good work, mate.

I love 'attempts overhead kicks'. If you've got a striker with good flair then give it to them, you can score some real cracking goals with it.

Why not? As long as they have good passing and off the ball, you should get the most of it.

Yeah definitely. If I haven't got a game either side then I'll usually have a 3 session day. As long as you're not doubling up with two physical (the black ones) training sessions in the same day.

I might be wrong, but 'plays one twos' in my mind is the player making a pass then running forward to receive another one - rather than remaining stationary, so it would have the desired effect. Another one to consider that I like to give to REGs is 'switch ball to other flank', which helps stop the REG just circulating the ball safely around the middle of the pitch and encourage him to hit a wide player with a cross-field pass.

There's not a lot wrong with you tactic, but as Experienced Defender suggests, I imagine as Milan you'll be facing a fair number of teams that sit off of you.
Personally I'd push your defensive line up, which can be mitigated somewhat by having the central defender on cover duty.
I agree to changing the MEZ to support, and then the WB on the opposite side could be on attack. I'd also switch the MEZ and BBM around so that the MEZ is closer to the F9. On the side with the WB (A) you can use a CAR if you think the BBM might leave you exposed there.
If you keep the WBs on support and a lower LOE then hitting early crosses might be a good idea, as the AF will often position himself on the last line of defence.
I'd be tempted to turn off "Run at defence" and give PIs to dribble more to the MEZ and your good dribblers.
I also like Distributing to Full Backs in WB formations, especially against teams that press you high.
Anyway, those are just my brief thoughts, good luck.

Nuneaton Town Season 2021/22
Season Review - Table - Transfers - Finances - Profile - Squad - Facilities
Well, I sped through this one! In all honesty it wasn't a particularly interesting season. The league itself was very tight and at one point it looked as if we may have been able to sneak into the playoffs, but unfortunately as injuries hit we dropped down the table like a brick. I didn't make many transfers and just decided to trust the guys who had got me back to back promotions, but there were a few key additions like striker Kion Etete, and turning Saul Shotton's loan into a permanant deal. One thing I struggled for was wingers, there simply were none of the required quality for either loan or free transfer, so I had to change shape to mitigate this. I also wanted us to be more attacking, and the result was lots of goals at both ends of the pitch. Finally got someone (reasonably) decent come through the academy, though by the time he's ready to start I have no idea where we'll be as a club. Stadium upgrade done, didn't really affect my budget/balance at all, but has left us with a hefty loan which is being repaid every month. Next season it'll be a push for promotion hopefully.

Possession in fm 22

"Defensive possession" teams have been a problem on FM for years. Unfortunately this is something that is much worse on this engine, so hopefully it gets fixed.
