Tactics Pass Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee

[KorovaMilk]

Hey all. I was looking to create a realistic yet solid and strong tactic, and came up with a new idea which made us ALMOST invincible (aside from an unfortunate loss against Fiorentina). Won the treble in the first season. 

 

This tactic heavily depends on your midfield's attacking prowess. The wingers will often be as wide as possible, and that leaves the halfspaces right for the taking for your midfield. I refitted Szymanski, a natural attacking midfielder, into a B2B centre midfielder and it worked beautifully -- he got tons of goals and assists, and won the Conference League's Golden Boot. Perhaps playing Fred wasn't the best idea - while he did chime in with some goal contributions, another AM-into-CM player would have most likely worked better. 

I also found having an inverted winger on either the right or left works, but that might somewhat dampen your midfield's infiltration of the half spaces.

 

funny anecdote, I also had the funniest penalty shootout of my life.

Important sidenote: Do NOT try this with smaller teams. You will collapse.
