Tactics 442 Atletico style (EME)

[Mikee1984]

Hey just wanted to share this tactic I created specifically for Atletico, after watching them this season defend like warriors and kill teams on the counter I wanted to try and create something similar. Now I am not saying this is a killer tactic that will guarentee you great results but it does work.  Also I should add that you will get dominated in possession a lot and scrape a lot of 1 nil wins but hey that's atleticos style isn't it. No signings made either I never do in 1st season.

Interesting tactic. Will try it out sooner or later. Very surprising results. Especially, with teams like Valencia and Wolfsburg

The results were very up and down especially against the smaller teams we lost and drew a lot, and after being 12 points clear at one point we went on a terrible run at the end of the season that had me worried barca would catch us. Not sure if this tactic would suit any other teams, maybe Leicester but I did a different counter tactic that got me 2nd in prem with them.

That did look bad tbh, but great to see you pulled through. Mourinho's defensive 4231 with counter Attack fits Leicester well, got 1st with that. Maybe I will post it. Solid tactic, a few modifications can be made though

Yh it was nail biting towards the end luckily barca slipped up aswel, and id be interested to see your Leicester tactic if possible. My tactic was a pressing attacking 442 counter that got me 2nd.
