Arteta’s Arsenal recreation
frukox replied to CKBrahMa's topic in Tactics, Training & Strategies Discussion
I did for a while but then I moved on to the double false nine system I've longed to create. The final system, inverted for my team was: F9 WMA MEZA BBM WMA DMS FBS CDD CDD IWBS SKS F9: Mark Tighter, Close Down More MEZA: Mark Tighter, Close Down More BBM: Mark Tighter, Get Stuck In, Stay Wider, Get Further Forward, Risky Passes Left WMA: Mark Tighter, Close Down More, Stay Wider, Cut Inside Right WMA: Mark Tighter, Close Down More, Cut Inside, Roam from Position DMS: Hold Position, Risky Passes, Mark Tighter FBS: Get Forward, Mark Tighter IWBS: Mark Tighter In-possession: Shorter Passing, Dribble Less, Play Wide, Play Out of Defence, Low Crosses In-transition: Distribute to CBS, Counter-press, Counter, Take Short Kicks Out-of-possession: Defend Narrower(Invite Crosses) , Much Higher DL, Higher LOE(High Block), Stay on Feet, Play Offside Trap(Drop Off More) -
Help with making my tactic works, 4-4-2 diamond
frukox replied to AJ21's topic in Tactics, Training & Strategies Discussion
Remove OI, then you'll be fine. Think about the attacking shape in transition: PFA and AFA are on the shoulder of the last defenders. SS will aggressively attack space in the final third, too. Yet, you already have two people pushing up early. As if this isn't enough, the mezzala will also attack the left half-space early. Who is going to support the attacking play here other than DLPS? -
Help with making my tactic works, 4-4-2 diamond

Then, first you need to change the mentality of the right WB. This should help him close down a bit further up pitch. An attack duty won't hurt here as you have a disciplined anchorman sitting in front of your defence. I wouldn't let my CBs close down opposition AMC in absence of the DM who may shift over to cover the gaps in case of a turnover during the build-up, which could cut you open more easily through the middle. Finally, your system seems to lack in depth on the left half space. One of your players should position behind them to properly support the attack and combine with WBs, the playmaker and PF. This will help you become more compact defensively and recycle possession more easily in case they run out of passing options due to bad positioning by your attackers. -
I'd be more aggressive on the wings with three players dedicated to defending and you will see you will be lacking in numbers in and around the penalty area unless the players in midfield has some specific traits thus reducing the penetrative effect of your system and needlessly slowing down the build-up play. Let me show you an example: P IWS IFA MEZA RPM HB WBA BPDD CDD WBS SKS BPDD-CDD-HB Defending space WBA-WBS Reliable sources of width BPDD-HB-SKS Able to make diagonal passes from deep to bypass high blocks WBA Bombing down the left flank IWS Cutting in early to overload central areas MEZA Attacking the left half-space early and present in the box reliably RPM The heart of the system- the central bridge between defenders and attacking six IFA Pinning opposition FB early and attacking right half-space and present in the box reliably PA Pinning CBs and present in the box reliably WBs creating space for players inside PA creating space for the midfielders behind WBA-MEZA-IWS creating space on the right flank by building up play on the left flank IWS- creating space for the central players RPM- overloading any part of the pitch, creating space elsewhere HB- creating space for the players ahead of him, that is WBs and midfielders

Not bad, mate. However, I was talking about a 4-3-1-2 but anyway:) Let me see...I'd take a closer look at how your defenders defend space and whether two playmakers close to each other is beneficial to the system or not. To put it another way, they shouldn't blunt your attacking effectiveness by slowing down play too much and you can only know it by watching your transitions.

1) A goalscorer role 2) A role up front to link-up play with midfielders behind him 3) A creator between midfield and strikers, like in the old Italian football 4) The left or right central midfielder getting forward to increase presence around penalty area 5) The central midfielder dedicated to protect the central channel 6) Full-backs to provide width and protect wings as it's a formation without wingers. 7) If possible, a central defender comfortable with the ball at his feet to play deep diagonals to players in front of him 8) A technical goalkeeper to ease playing out from the back as well as to play direct balls to the players up the pitch to bypass opposition high press at times Controlling games is possible with high-blocks and/or possession-style football. The better suited your players are for this style the higher chance of a successful system it has.

I always use this if it's a tight game and I'm up and never disappointed me except for odd goals coming from crosses, which is expected from this low block. I don't want to allow any long shots personally. That's why we still defend narrow. They are very strong unfortunately. Here I know they are going to throw everything at me but the kitchen sink and am willing to soak up pressure but still need a plan to get out of my own defensive third. This is the plan. It gives me lots of opportunities to close the matches in my favour. That's why I posted this.

Tactics Advice - Isolated Lone Striker

Trying those might be useful but only you can know what you want. You're the coach, after all:) -
Tactics Advice - Isolated Lone Striker
frukox replied to pyeduke's topic in Tactics, Training & Strategies Discussion
If Endrick is the focus, then the rest of the roles should be chosen in such a way that he has enough supply and support all over the pitch. This will make sure he has time and space most of the time to put the ball into the back of the net. However, first, you need to fix a crucial problem: 4-2-3-1 is a top-heavy formation which requires two players in the middle of the park covering the central channel and keeping the pressure on the opposition by being deeper passing options thus creating depth centrally. Here CMA is busting his guts to get forward. DLPS will also move to where the ball is though a bit restricted as per his PIs. Two wing-backs are getting forward. In short, this system lacks depth and can easily be overrun, unfortunately. It needs a secure double pivot or you can move both of the players into the DM strata and be a bit more aggressive with your roles while still defending the centre properly. Then, we can talk about other possible tweaks. -
DM, Anchor or Half Back?
frukox replied to MarkJS1's topic in Tactics, Training & Strategies Discussion
@bosqueFor example, a low block trying to play through the middle where DLPD is only needed at the start of transitions to attack close to your own penalty area or in a 4-3-1-2 generally at the centre of the diamond for easing playing through the middle. -
No, you don't need to consider your players as incapable. They can play it to some extent anyway. For example, this is my see-out-the-match version of my only save: What do you see? An extremely compact narrow and aggressive low block to hit teams on the counter with fluid sane attacks. In possession, the team is trying to progress to the final third through the middle moving up the pitch all together without any hollywood-style passes while doing this with a bit of haste and time-wasting when possible.

I also do this kind of stuff if I don't go for an all-in-one approach like Cleon. Let me give you an example: Imagine I am playing against a 3-4-2-1. The only formation I can match them and outplay them truly is 4-4-2 narrow diamond. How? They have 3 defenders; I have two forwards. They have one forward; I have two defenders. I always have an extra player to press and defend better. My only caveat would be to know how to distribute roles and duties in accordance with your tactical style and your players. Remember they don't have to be perfect. I safely play a left-footed inside forward as a full-back or a wing-back as long as he has what I need from him, e.g. speed, diligence and passing ability as well as a slight will to get stuck in when needed. Here, the number 5 can play the ball to the DM to bypass the press even if the opposition WB comes out to press the number 3. Then, it gives us a clear way to start a perfect attack.
