I have created my tactic. I would like to warn people before they try it as earlier and slag it off that as it is entirely my creation there is probably a 80% chance that it will fall on its ass. I am hoping to get a little bit of help in tactic creation as I don't really know the consequences of my actions. I am always told not to have tactics that contradict each other; however, I don't know what to look out in this department. Therefore if there are things wrong with with my tactic (don't worry there will be!) that you spot, especially things that contradict, I would love it if you could set me straight. Effectively, I am looking for constructive criticism.
Well here goes:
My formation is
this.
I think that although it is fairly unusual, it has a fairly good balance between attack and defence, plus I believe I can get my best players in general, all playing at the same time like this.
Here are the
Team Instructions.
These are by no means set in stone, in fact they are more set in jelly. They are very flexible and will probably be changed every match to counter or match my opponents. Especially things like: Mentality, Tempo, Width and Time Wasting.
My
Goalkeeper.
This is simply the pre-set instruction available from the drop down bar, the only changes being, Long Kick to Target man and the passing set to direct in order to get it away from my goal, hopefully towards the target man.
Fullbacks.
Crossing is set to often with the hope of utilising my TM, other settings are fairly uninteresting.
Centre-backs.
Closing Down is set to rarely with the hope that they won't get dragged around all over the place. Perhaps unusually, they are set to short passing, this is because I don't want them to simply punt the ball away all the time, short passing should encourage them to pass it into the CMs who are much more technically talented.
Wingers.
Don't there's much out of the ordinary here.
Centre Midfielders.
Once again, little of any mention her I think.
Attacking Midfielder.
This guy is my playmaker, he has a fair bit of creative freedom and forward runs often with the hope that he will bomb on to join the lone striker.
Target Man.
Once again, fairly basic instruction.
Other information, when I am in desperate need for a goal, I will switch to my version of the 4-2-4 in which:
[LIST]
<LI> Mentality, Passing and Closing Down are set to Global.
<LI> The above, Width, Tempo, Defensive Line are all set to as far to the right as they will go, Timewasting as far left as possible.
<LI> Only Forward runs are changed other than that, Fullbacks are set to often, Centre backs to rarely and the rest are on mixed.
That's all, so once again, anything that seems funny, strange or especially contradicts please point it out to help make me a better tactician and to benefit to forum as a whole.
Many Thanks
