For anyone that cares, here are a few screen shots. I would love some help I seem to been dominating loads - but teams keep beating me.

Formation.

Team instructions

Help!

Can anyone see anything that I can change so that I can do more with my posession.

Def Midfeild Instructions

Anyone help me with where I am going wrong would be good. Shockingly this tactic worked well with chelsea - but I am having problems with west ham.

Not doing to well in terms of responses, but just to update you - My first season using this tactic (although I tweaked a bit) saw me finish 11th with west ham which I was abit disappointed with. Although I did win the league cup and get into the semi-finals of the UEFA cup - what I am finding a problem with is consistantsy

I guess the first thing is to look at WHERE the problems are. Midfield? Getting beat by through balls? etc.
Have you set individual instructions for everyone? Ex. set DC to defensive metality and low creative freedom?
I stopped pushing up in FM06. I've had more success playing deeper. I usually set it one click about normal and put my DCs on barrows. I also set them to low/mixed closing down. I want them to keep position and let the midfield (DM especially) and FBs do the closing down.
Do you have problems in midfield with that asymetrical formation?
I've used a 4132. The R/LM are on darrows and MC farrow. I set width fairly wide and focus passing down both flanks. I feel this gets the best of both worlds, I am tight and compact in defence and then fan out in attack...the wide passing helps to focus down the wings. I put all the midfielders on fairly high closing down. I keep the DM on a defensive/normal mentality, but if he has good attacking skills let him go forward, run with ball and give a fair amount of creative freedom. Using a DM behing a narrow midfield allows me to let my FBs be more attacking...they need to be to help give width. This basic formation has worked for me with loads of teams. Obviously personel makes a difference. Also I've found a LM or AML can play MCL just fine.

Thanks for the replying, I see a couple of my problems being that there always seems to be a huge gap between midfield and attack, in FM06 my attacker would support my strikers much more than they do in this one, I also seem to have a problem with my players following my instructions in terms of passsing - I have tried to get a slow short passing style going - not really focusing passing anywhere and mixing it up a bit, my players seem to run out of options and lump the ball upfield - any ideas how to stop this.

I also take on board your playing deeper as I am pushing up quite a bit which doesnt seem to e helping - I was doing this to try and make the space between defense and midfield disapear and keep my players closer together so they can play the short passing style I like, also I have tried playing narrow as well for the same reason - is this a wrong assumption to make?

Also how do you keep your defense compact and fan out in attack - what kind of instructions?

Regarding players lumping the ball upfield, have a look at your defensive line.

If everyone is too close together, it makes it very easy to defend against with players placed on top of each other + there's not really any point in passing it as it's only going to travel a nominal distance.

When you drop the line, it creates more space for players to pick a pass into because teams can't get at you so quickly. Certainly the transition of passing from defence to midfield will improve.

Also work on focusing passing down the flanks. more space out there and it means the gap between CM and ST is less important.
