  1. First of all, I'm not sure if I should raise this issue on this thread, but I'm seeing good discussions, so here I go. And oh, sorry for my english.

    I'm having some problems trying to use a 4-1-4-1. I started this career with Istra 1961 from Croatia before seeing this thread, but already using 4-1-4-1 due to Tite's system used in Corinthians (2015 Brasileirão winners) and now with the Brazilian National Team.

    My problem is: I'm playing with two "fake inside forwards" and an False 9, and my False 9 doesn't seem to link into my tactics. Here's my current setup:

    Mentality: Counter
    Team Shape: Balanced
    Team Instructions: 
    Fairly Wide Width, Normal Tempo | Slightly Deeper Defensive Line, Close Down Much More, Prevent Short GK Distribution | Play Out of Defense, Exploit Left and Right Flanks, Mixed Passes, Retain Possession, Be More Expressive | Look for Overlap, Low Crosses, Dribble Less  

    GK) Goalkeeper - Defend | Pass It Shorter, Distribute to DM, Slow Pace Down
    DR) Full Back - Attack
    DL) Full Back - Attack
    DC) Central Defender - Defend
    DC) Central Defender - Defend
    DM) Deep Lying Playmaker - Defend | Close Down Less
    CM) Box to Box Midfielder - Support | Get Further Forward, Move Into Channels
    CM) Advanced Playmaker - Support
    LM) Wide Midfielder - Support | More Risky Passes, Cut Inside With Ball, Cross Less Often
    RM) Wide Midfielder - Support | More Risky Passes, Cut Inside With Ball, Cross Less Often
    ST) False 9 - Support | Close Down Less, Mark Tighter

     

    Ok, some of you will say that my team is too defensive, specially because there isn't an attacking role in advanced positions. I'm managing one of the weakest teams in the league and my players lack physical attributes like acceleration. So, my aim is to press higher, win the ball and when with the possession, be patient and look for my FBs to overlap and search for an CM/RM/LM/ST to finish our offensive moves.

    So, what's happening?

    I'm in the preseason and our team played against two lower league teams and against Slovan Bratislava. We beat both lower league teams away from home by 1-0 and drew (1-1) against Slovan, but the thing that is annoying me is that my team create chances, but my ST doesn't drop deeper enough to build-up play and look things easier.

    In the match against Slovan, I had 68% of possession and 90% of completed passes, but only 9 shots (7 from distance). Our heat map clearly explains with images what I'm talking about. My striker only got a 7.0 rating because he scored in the last minute, but he only passed 34 times. 

    I would like to hear some suggestions and to know what should I change? Maybe change my BBM (S) to an CM (A)? My F9 to an DLF (S) - it's hard to find CF in this league, so it would be a option. Change something in my mentality? 

  2. I did something similar, I created a country called Cistina.

    I did not give myself the trouble of creating players, let the game do it. But created 80 clubs, divided into five divisions, is really fascinating.

    As I recall, it was a country with Italian, Spanish and Portuguese influences.

    The first division was called Bebbersbank Championship One, and had teams that I will always remember, like Martin Gasse, Giuliavieja, Cittá Alegre and Aviattore.

    Great thread.

  3. Bad luck, I have it too. They do score well too but just hit the post far too often.

    You could, however, check if they try to score from narrow angles, as that increases the likelyhood of players hitting the post, especially if they are skilled.

    I analyzed the games of my team and the frequency of kicks at goal and came to the following conclusion:

    In green = High frequency of kicks at goal

    In yellow = Medium frequency of kicks at goal

    In orange = Low frequency of kicks at goal
