Tactics 442 counter pressing (eme)

[Mikee1984]

So after watching Leicester win the prem this season I have been determined to do it myself in the first season without making any signings. So after many failed attempts I came up with this tactic that worked really well and finally helped me to do this, to sum up it can be pretty leaky at times but makes for some really exciting games and it seemed and felt  like I could out score anyone. 

Slight variation when I was getting overrun in midfield at times.

Here's how the season went.

Hey nice tactic mate, looks very good and a bit more solid defensively then mine. And nice to see you also won the league without any signings.

[Mikee1984]

So another test season this time with Aston villa and no signings made so how did we get on. So close to winning the league gutted to lose out on the last day defence still leaky needs tweaking to shore it up a bit. But golalscoring wise this tactic is ace and creates a lot of chances.

Wanted to try this tactic in a different league so went with Lazio with no signings but with a slight tweak to hopefully help defensively. Here's how we did so close yet so far from the juventus juggernaut, but a nice champions league win was good.

Looks really good fella I'll run a test season with it and see how we go

[Mikee1984]

Cool I'll look forward to seeing how you go, any teams in mind?

[Taff]

I've just started a save with Stoke, since they have Shaqiri, Arnautovic and Bojan they should be a much better team so I'll see if we can get them there

I've gone with the first set of instructions but the altered tactic with the FB's and CD's

[Mikee1984]

Ok mate cheers for testing hope all goes well.

Love a good counter attacking side. Nice tactic mate 

I'm also using a similar tactic in my freebies challenge.

Cheers mate I to love a good counter attacking tactic, in particular with Leicester it was so effective Vardy was on the end of everything which was great, Although it's very leaky at times.

Yeah I don't actually employ the counter attack option as standard but often hit it when 2 goals up.

[Taff]

Change of plan dude I'm going to use Southampton instead as I know the team better than Stoke and I haven't really started yet so I'll post once I've done a full season

[Mikee1984]

Ok mate did it not click with Stoke?

Truthfully never got off the ground looked at the team and realised I didn't want to waste time figuring out who's who and all that so I'll use a team I'm more familiar with if that's ok

I'd say a good first two games at the saints

Yh mate be good to see how Southampton get on I've always enjoyed using them, and yes what a great start.

best regards Anders

Hi Anders how's it going mate, I would appreciate if you test this tactic. Personally I prefer the fb-CB-CB-Fb combination I utilised in the Lazio test but it depends on the team I'm using I think. 

[AndersJ]

Hey Mike

At first i thought were are all the chances in the games at, but they certainly came

so far the players are very happy BUT i also cheated a bit - NOT with sugar D but used almost 50m to udgrade the team

[Mikee1984]

Hey Anders thanks for taking the time out to test my tactic, some nice results so far mate have you any ideas we could implement to make the tactic stronger defensively without losing to much in attack.

[AndersJ]

So far i wont change anything - the defence in la liga is really good with this tactic so far. TM and IF scoring most of the goals

[Mikee1984]

Great to hear mate, I'm now working on another tactic to use for a 1kc doing a lot of testing before I give it a shot.

[Taff]

Well we've made it to the beginning of January and here's how we've done

Some bad results

But some great results as well 

And sat in 2nd place just 3 points behind Chelsea

Yh mate regarding the bad results I have also had a few hammerings myself, at times its ultra leaky at the back I've got to admit. But on the flip side it can be lethal at times and seems like your never in a dull game. Hope you go on to win the title mate and thanks for taking the time out to test it.
