Mourinho_Mastermind

@crusadertsarWould like to ask, do you think a pf-su would fit more the droga/milito/benzema mold or the cf-su ?

So I have been dwealing in my older save and I have decied to try out a 4312 in the style Inter deployed in the famous 09/10 treble campaign, I think I have nailed almost all the roles except the milito one where i was thinking between tf and cf, Also the ap role can be on su too when I need to make the midfield more stable

Tbh I would see Drogba more like a TF but I get your point as a PF, I think Mou used that role a lot with his strikers, either that or a cf even

I also have been playing out this season between a dlf-at and a tf-at and I could say for a Mourinho side most of the teams (probably porto and real less) a tf would be more consisent but i might be wrong

@HanziZolomanWell I think I am gonna go with what CT said: dlf su and af-at as It kinda fits the milito-eto'o thing I wanna recreate

For sure on that, I initially tried at tf-su and pf-at combo but i wanted to ask the xpertise from soneone that's far better at making tactics

@crusadertsarI wanna make a 41212 based on Mourinho's Inter but I wanna ask, would you think that the striker duo could be one of dlf su/tf-su and af at/cf at ?

Wanted to try how efficient they wouldbe if they focused more on passing rather than then dribble so when the situation in which the defense of many teams were much more tightly packed my dlp would carve up in a counter with a pass to either my tf or one of the inverted wingers, it worked tho I think i could unclick it if you think it would work better

So I have finally finished my season with Sevilla in fm 22 and I wanted to incorporate a tactic like Mourinho. The reason I have picked the team was that it had one of the best records defensive records last season and they had the J. Kounde-D. Carlos cb partership which is one of the best outside of the main top 3. I have run into some troubles with the defense as I had stints in which my team couldn't score and my defense was shaky, mostly on the side in which my lb was but in the end I prevailed in the division winning it at a pretty tight neck to neck with Barcelona and Real Madrid. I will attach my tactic and also the schelude. The record in league was 81 scored and 33 conceded. Also this one was my original tactic in which i went to with a positive mentality and I wanna know which tactic is better

Alright thanks chief

Tsar would you keep the bwm de and the dlp su in a 4231 or should it be bwm su and dlp de

Oh yeah i would change it to a more extreme thing on the tempo, I wouldn't change the passing on direct as i prefer to use the tempo. I used the balanced one on a match against RM and came with a tough 2-2

Oh yeah I used that tactic a lot when you first published it, didn't work as well as it did in that fm but still viable. Back t the curent tactic, i wanted to ask if i kept the tempo and directness on the balanced mode it would work right

Yeah the swiss army one was modeled to have a far more defensive approach to show how efficient the 4231 was and how much role depended while the pragmatic one indeed was more furious type of tacti. I watched your work since the porto tactic and i remember it had both on more with the shape i think structured on most

Oh yeah I know he is one of the chameleons of footbal sort to say, being able to make something out of most sides if the players are all pulling on the same direction.I asked this question because your variations of Mou tactics were either having both on more or either of them like in the swiss army knife variant had more direct balls while the prapgmatic football one had higher tempo

Also, is Target Forward a role i could use instead of a dlf-at, cuz i don't feel it completes the style that much as i had cases in which the role was more usable in more possesion based tactics. Another question would be, do you think direct passing is more of a trait of a Mourinho tactic than higher tempo

Oh alright, is the fb-su role still viable to use instead of a wb-de ?

Alright thanks for the answer, i was also kinda surprised by the fact you put trap inside option because usually you used either the trap outside or just leave it as it is

Hey tsar i wanted to ask, is to a mourinho tactic more important the trigger press or the get stuck in ?

I wanted to show how I thought your tactic, i wanted to hear/read your thoughts about my tactic, if it can work as well as yours.

Great, I really wanted to see something done with a 4-3-3 in the Mourinho-esque type of situation, once i get my hands on fm23 i will need to try something similar like i posted in the previous thread

Will do, i finished the season with Leipzig and it was a fun time, i have decided to run my midfield with an achor car and cm at in the end and it worked perfectly imo, still gotta perfect my players as i do not have a strong spine yet but i am hopefull. Will try the dlp-de with bwm-su duo in the latter seasons if i will shift to a 4231

After a good chunk of a season i am ready to send my tactic, this is what i worked on, the carrilero has no special instructions as he is acting as the dlp and anchor acts as it bwm, only special instrctions are on wb and fb to be wider and narrower. I would like to know if you think it truly shows the usual 2 holding midfielder roles that Mou portrays. And in a 2 holding midfielder would both dlp and bwm be on defense variety or one on su and one on de ?

Alright man thanks for the info i appreciate it though i could still use a bwm-su in the 4231 right, i get why the car as essien could do that and i think most of Mourinho's 3 man midfield's mou had

So basicly what Mourinho had in most of his systems usually, then I think i will go with the carrilero on the right side and have the wing back on there so my left side will have the fullback staying as the 3rd defender. I think the duo of dlp and bwm type of duo in midfield is important, probably carrilero can do the job as the bwm probably, if not should i just put the bwm on de instead ?
