Tactics Lower league possession (60-70%) tactic (4-1-2-2-1)

[MarkD]

Hello guys, hope everyone is well

I did NOT create this tactic, i found it online for the PC version, but i tried to convert it to the mobile version.

its a fun tactic to use, ive tried it in the Vanarama National South division in England with Dulwich Hamlet (i always use them) and had some good success, winning the league easily in my first season, the possession i was getting was usually between 60 and 70%, creating a good amount of chances and the opponents not have too many although most of the goals that we conceded seemed to be from the first shot on target 🤨, ill put this down to my goalkeeper being rubbish 😂, so hopefully with better players, this tactic "should" flourish...

This is where Bayern Munich finished on the PC version

 

and here is the tactic.....

and this was the first season.....

if you have any questions then please feel free to ask, i might not have the answers but you can ask anyway 😂

try it, tweak it, give feed back but most of all... have fun, cheers guys

Tried this with Stevenage. Won League 2 by 10 points in first season. Changed a couple of things with regards to player roles to suit my squad but good tactic.

ive not used this for a while, glad it worked for you, what changes did you make?

Changed 1 of the BPD to CB and IWB's to standard WBs.

In my experience, the IWB cause a lot of problems for the spacing. They open up huge gaps on the flanks that the DC can't cover.

thanks for the input, much appreciated

I also haven't really been able to tell much of a difference spatially or behaviorally between the IF and IWB but I'm going to take a look now.

So I just played 4 games with the same team. I swapped my IF to IWB and played one game for each role on disciplined shape and expressive. 

With the IWB he only drifted in when slightly when there was an overlap with my WB. I measured it by the lines of grass. He only drifted 1.5 lanes at the most. Even using the instructions of look for overlap didn't help 

With the IF role he would literally sprint to the center of the defense even if he didn't have the ball. 

This does give me an idea though for a tactic that I'm going to work on creating.

yeah the IF is pretty much a second striker that starts in a wing position, ive been wanting to make a tactic using a target man, IF and a winger, ill give it a go soon

Why a target man? For the aerial presence?
