Hi!
Been using possession tactic for a while now and start was great as I won very easily championship and promoted to premier league, and next season finished 3rd and everything went very good.
On third and fourth season much less luck, even thou players in almost every position has been greatly enhanced!
I dont seem to suffer from teams dropping very deep but pressing hard and causing lots of misplaced passes etc and not getting ball to my forwards almost at all, and almost all my scoring coming from random players rather thank striker/inside forwards.
my goal differences show this a little
Championship 90 / 23
premierleague s1 56 / 27
premierleague s2 35 / 33
mine base tactical instructions were same as Cleons starting tactic so conrol/highly structured, lower tempo, play out of defence, retain possession, roam from positions, prevent GK distribution, much more pressing.
Been experimenting different sort of changes like higher tempo etc but what kinda of changes experts often make? I feel akward putting high tempo when trying to be slow possession team?
Lots of my concedings seem to come from through balls and a bit less from crosses.
I would remove retain posession and replace it with work ball into box. This would encourage your players to play slightly more direct at times which should hopefully bypass the opposition press.

Thanks for the advice. I'll give that a go.

Hi guys,
Long time lurker here on this thread, but have found the information here invaluable. After a successful (in some ways) 1st season with Coventry City in an online game, I am really struggling in the 2nd season with a much stronger squad. I play 2 variants of a 4-2-3-1 and have struggled to get going in the early stages of the 2nd season and am currently lying 1pt above the drop zone, when I expected to be challenging for the title.
At Home when I'm the favourites I enjoy playing Direct, Attacking football.
4-2-3-1 Attacking / Fluid.
Instructions: More Direct Passing, Drill Crosses, Stick to Positions, Get Stuck In.
GK-D: Sam Johnstone
(DR) WB-A: Blair Adams
(DCR) DC-D: Jack Stephens
(DCL) DC-D: Jordan Willis
(DL) FB-S: Cyrus Christie
(MCR) DLP-S: John Fleck
(MCL) BWM-D: Connor Thomas
(AMC) Trequarista: Chuks Aneke / Billy Knott
(AMR) W-A: Carl Baker
(AML) IF-S/AP-S: Franck Moussa / Tom Lawrence
(SC) AF-A: Shaquile Coulthirst
Away from home, or in tougher games I play a similar style, but more possession based.
4-2-3-1, Counter, Balanced
Instructions: Short Passing, Pass Into Space, Sits Narrower, Stick to Positions, Get Stuck In, Drill Crosses
GK-D: Sam Johnstone
WB-A: Blair Adams
DC-D: Jack Stephens
DC-D: Jordan Willis
FB-S: Aaron Phillips
CM-D: Connor Coady
DLP-S: John Fleck
IF-S: Franck Moussa
W-A: Carl Baker
AP-S: Chuks Aneke (roam from position)
AF-A: Shaquile Coulthirst
Reason for the instructions is simple. I am one of the most creative and best passing teams in the league. I also have the quickest attack with the best movement. So I am trying to take advantage of my strengths.
The following is a link to a couple of games where my team fell apart.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
