Tactics 2-3-2-2-1 Attacking with good success

[Cockers2505]

Hi All

For those who know me, I pop up now and again in this Forum with comments or the odd Tactic I don't mind sharing for those who like to tinker.

Anyway I messed around with a few formations, until one seemed to fit my style, and so here goes a Tactic that is for a decent team, don't know about Lower sides because you might not get the Players that suits the style, I have tried with some success with Oldham in Div 2 of the English League, and York in the VNN, again with relative success, but no where near like the screenshots I will add below.

In regards to any crazy Special Instructions, all I did was set my best CD header on Corner duty, everyone else stayed back, this got me a few more goals as you will see.

TACTIC 2-3-2-2-1

Shape - For the Striker role with Roma, I stuck with Poacher as I had Shoot from anywhere, but with Spurs I stuck Kane on a CF role, I don't think either is better as goals came from the IF's most of the time.

Defence - Thought I would need to switch off the Offside Trap due to playing WB's, but surprisingly I didn't concede as many goals as I thought I would!!

Attack - Tried 'Working Into Box' and it works, but I found that such an attacking stance required anybody to be able to shoot, which for me worked better with each season Tested.

So I tried with Spurs first, not really purchasing many players, my main aim was a Good GK who could play as a Sweeper Keeper so needed good Pace also, for this both Clubs tested I bought this brilliant GK - Thomas Strakosha 

Tottenham - Finished second behind City, had good success playing with the Team i already had at my disposal, but as you can see there is room for improvement, maybe a few more players could prevent so many draws

Can u show your corner setting?

[Schwantz34]

I run something similar as one of my main two tactics this year.

It's a shape that you can get a nice balance with.

You can do the same with setting your striker as Marking the GK, and everyone stays back, also get the left footed player take right sided corner, and right footer take left corner, can also help

Yes but it is difficult to find striker with 17+ areal.

Nice, how crazy is it to have a CD win golden boot 😄

I used it for Celtic and got good results, need better players to do well in the Champions league though 

[Cockers2505]

Tried it with Celtic, could be better especially spending more time to get the right players like @Scratch does in his challenges, but it was still a good successful season in my opinion

Won the league quite comfortably, lost a couple of stupid 1-0 games to stop my unbeaten season (league)

 

Champions League was a struggle first season as always, then Euro didn’t go to well, eventually settling on winning the Euro Cup II
 

 

Did ok with Giakoumakis leading the front line

Like everything mate, depends on the team of players you have, not really used it much with smaller clubs like Tranmere as I start a 30 season career, currently got Tranmere into the Prem, might give it a go with better players, but thanks for trying

To be truthful it depends on your players, I usually try to get everyone above 12 stamina, pace and teamwork, then individually look at the key attributes for their position, poacher for example is movement, pace, technique, shooting and decisions, again I try for 12 and above each one
