@AgentFoxMulder in the early stages of this formation when i was developing this tactic i went with the lower tempo i saw much higher possession stats but not enough chances being created. i was seeing teams get dominated in possession but with the slow tempo my full backs were getting caught on the break so i decided to up the tempo and tried to make my team 1-2 the ball quickly up the pitch. that was my thought process behind the high tempo / short passing and remember the truth is out there.

I'm curious why you went for shorter passing with higher tempo. Usually I think of direct pass/high tempo or short pass/low tempo. Why mix the two?

It works great on counter attack with better teams seems more positive with the right players and yes it works on the lastest .
won the prem , league cup , charity sheild , up to now , (6 round fa cup knocked due to loss of form of players all same season just after i won the league cup ) in the champions league second knock out still and for finishing prem just need 19 points to get prem for second runon top of prem for all season as well , so i guess that is pretty good , looking at that system the better playes you get and coaches to work with them you can build around it works great on rotation in the UK

@Wayne Pre-Season Training = Fitness on High no rest days. Season Training = Balanced on Medium or High one rest day either before or after. Match Prep = Atk Movement 2 days Game day and one before that.
Good to hear you guys are enjoying it.

i love this game

Exellent tactic, use the same with Arsenal. Won the premiership 5 times in a row. Championsleague twice, same with the FA-cup. Use high preassure, need good workrate on your cm, and exellent wingers, like Julian Draxler and Oxlade Chamberlain. ;)

Hi any comment on Pre-Season Training? After Pre-Season Training? Match Preparation Training?

@AlexMacaskill just press the subscribe button below the pictures. go into the game and on the main menu you should see an option that says, "downloads" click that and at the top of the download screen you should see "steam workshop" click that and install.
Hope this helps.

i haven't messed with it much because before this I was struggling with a old liverpool roster and got this working with old guys such as suarez at age 33+ and others current liverpool players (i think it was year 4-5) and started recruiting into the system rather than building my system around the players i had. All the guys in the pictures are regens in case you guys were wondering. My buddy has downloaded this and began to "tinker" with it. such as playing the advanced forwards or LAM / RAM as IF combined with CWB's and he's have huge success with it. So the tinkering aspect is there. I was always scared to tinker with it much after i had so much success with it. haha. did not want to fall back down the table.
Thanks for the feedback so far it's been very helpful.

how do i upload on game?

I have been using this tactic for ages. Only difference is that I play my players in other roles than the ones you have chosen. Been playing with Molde (norwegian team) for about 8-9 seasons now. Won the EURO league last season with them. Its a really good tactic. :-))

I use a similar tactic but made my wingers Inside Forwards instead. It's paying off so my WB can overlap. Have you compared FB and WB? in my testing using FB left me exposed defensively.

thanks for the feedback. i haven't personally used it with lower leagues. lowest i went with it was english championship league with blackpool but it worked for me there.
Alfie Martine 28 May, 2014 @ 6:56am 
Thanks it works great with stockport county (england,skrill north. im a big fan)
PG_LF 28 May, 2014 @ 5:48am 
with the wrong players i'd give it a 6 however with proper players matching the tactic probably a 9 or a possible 10.
Alfie Martine 28 May, 2014 @ 5:27am 
How does this tactic work with low league teams? (scale out of 10)
