tactic looks good, ill give a it try to, i used to use something similar in 00/01 - 01/02 back in the day

but, anyway, whats the point when the opposition have super-keepers, i like the way they are worth 2million and perform like world-beaters saving every bloody shot i give them. joke.

I tried the tactic with no tweaking at all for 4 matches
Lets say about the ''bad'' things first:

First of all i noticed that the gk's kicks feed the mc most of the times so u need to have a strong (aerial &technique) mc.Otherwise the ball we'll be lost and then a counter attack begins
Second. Thats a no-possession tactic.In all 4 games i tested it the opposite team had a larger amount of possession.
Third i always conceded goals and the opposite team had many other chances to score.

The ''good'' things

I liked the way the amc's support the lone striker and join the attack scorings loads of goals & creating chances.

I also liked the fact that the width is narrow and most of the passes are correct.

Here are the screens from the 4 games:

A bit hard test with the best team of the division



The stats show the lack of possession, and as a result the production of few chances...



2 game, a difficult win against kallithea...



The stats show again the lack of possession,however we had many chances to score



3 game i was equalized at the 90th minute so an unlucky result...



Again lack of possession...



4 game a very bad result against a newly promoted side that had lost 7 games in a row!!



Again no posses->few chances...



I wasnt happy of these tests so i decided to tweak the tactic.The main problem was the lack of posses.
So i set the passing style to sort, the closing down to whole pitch and the player instructions for FC,MC,the 2 AMC'S and DM'S to whole pitch(set to team instructions), in order to gain the possession quickly.
I also ticked the tight marking box, set the disrtibution to DL collect, and dropped the tempo to slow...

The results so far are way better:
1 game stats:
The final result was a draw bad i had a lot of posses and the opposite team striked lucky as they had few chances to score



At the 6 game i had a v.good away win with no conceding for the first time



Macth stats:
Again good possession..



Here are the changes to the team instructions:



As a conclusion the possession plays a v.important role as it lets your team to control the game and produce chances.
U can do those tweaks and tell me if it works for u too...
