It is going to vary from opponent to opponent. Start from the beginning of this thread.

But I will add that unlike my experience with 07, I have found that you can use the same tactic with some slider tinkering for each game and be effective.

Actually, I starting do that after reading one of Rashidi's threads. I am certain it remains relevant to '08. You can find it here:

Let's assume we manage a LL team..
As I read in previous posts if you want to play possession football you should have mant players in the middle and short passing..
The questions are the following:
In LL teams is very hard to find players with good passing to play short or direct..On the other hand if you try to play long ball you might give away possession too easy..
Usually IRL poor teams play long balls along with deep crossing...
So shall I be able to play possession football with those teams and how?
Bearing in mind that the stats of the players are awful?Or a passing stat around 12 is going to be good for short passing?
I though that rashidi said than when you manage a low team you should play mixed passing, but mixed isn't includes short-direct-long which means is up to the player to decide what pass he is willing to make??
In previous years when I was managing LL clubs basically from Engalnd used to play a 4-1-2-1-2 with crossing by the wingers from the byline even if their crossing ability was a bit poor..
Any suggestions?

P.S. I also used to play long balls when the pitch was wet..
