Hi, i'm currently Arsenal on FM 07.

The team i have is fairly consistent especially at home, winning most matches comfortably, dominating possesion creating many chances and defending very well.

My away form isnt bad and i mostly manage a tight win/draw, but dont dominate games as much as i like, and i give the opposition many more chances than i would at home!

I know i won't be able to dominate like i do at home but i feel i could do more than i am currently.

How can i alter my tactic as to not give the opposition as many chances?

My formation:

4-4-2

Team:

Attacking, normal creative freedom, slow tempo, short passing, narrow width, slightly high mixed closing down, a notch above deep defensive line, passing through the middle.

Zonal marking, tight marking, playmaker, offside and counter attack!

Player instructions:

Full backs: mentality team (attacking) forward runs, cross ball often.

Centre Backs: Defensive, rarely close down, run with ball often.

Wingers are attacking run with ball and cross often, my full back's like to overlap possibly beace the full backs are on forward runs, the wingers arre not?

I have a defensive player in the middle who does sit in front of the centre halves, the other centrel midfielder is attacking and acts as my playmaker, with free role, high creative freedom, play's through passes.

Strikers are always on closing down.

av u tried backward barrows on ur fullbacks?

playing away, despite the opposition, i always underestimate my team, and revert to llm tactics.

that is, i use my formation (which i never change)but i alter passing / tempo eg, direct/quick

other things can b changed 2, like defend lower/counter attack etc

I tend to keep my overall tactics them same, home and away, just tinker with my formation depending on the opposition
