Tactics 4-1-2-1-2 TIKI TAKA

[julian1910]

Hello everyone,

I would like to share my tactics with you all. Always I wanted and like it to ball possession and score a lot of goals. A task almost impossible to achieve but I think I did it😁😅 

At first I watched the statistics of Real Madrid and Man City and I saw the number of passes really high. I tried to emulate both for them and I achieved the half of that😅😂 Good possession ball but no goals, so I tried to keep it simple as much I can so the players can so their job.

At the end those two options are my tactics:

First option is 4-1-2-1-2 my main tactic:

Team mentality - Control (to keep the control of the game)

Width - without wingers I like to keep balanced so midfielders and strikers can go width in ball possession

Passing tempo - Fast (this one was a little bit tricky, with slow tempo you get a lot of passes but no goals except from the corners or free kick. Normal tempo wasn't working like I wanted so I ended up with fast. Fast tempo I think it's much better because the players have to play quickly and with simplicity of role's they gonna have to passes simple to his teammate near to him)

Creative freedom - Expressive (let the players to create space and move out of position to receive the ball)

Defensive line has to be high to help for possession

Pressing all over to get the ball quickly back out possession 

Tackling - Cautious (the players have to get the ball not the player)

Final third - this one was really tricky for me but at the I got. Work into Box for more passes and less shooting from distance. When the players have the freedom to move they can receive the ball into spaces with through balls. 

Passing style - Short (to keep it simple and the players have to move into spaces for the ball)

Passing focus - Centre (the position of midfielders and strikers is more concentrated on centre so used to you advantage)

Goalkeeper distribution it has to be short so he can start the build up

The second option is a little bit different, let me show you how.

At first the tactic is 4-3-3

The DLP become a RP and we have to wingers as AP to help de the middle during the build up. This time is just one striker as AF, DLP or CF ( it depends on the striker you have or use). Another thing the squad had to stay narrow, because we have 2 wingers. The two AP they can play width and they also can cut inside when it's possible.

For the defence it's the same as the first option.

The only thing we add for final third is look for overlap. The two FB can go more forward because of the two wingers. If you want more crosses you can change the two FB to WB.

You gonna need players with good abilities such as movement, creativity, passing, decisions.

I hope you like it and enjoyed my post. Soon I finish season I gonna post the results. I only used with AC Milan, so I cannot tell you if work with small clubs. 

Let me know if works for you,

Enjoy it!!!

Looks great! What is the first 11 in your 1st season?

[julian1910]

@MikeS91 I used the players I had available, then I invested in young players, the so-called wonderkids. I have always preferred to use young players and old ones sold or kept until the end of the contract until they retired. They were the mentors for the young players.

i switched and tried your tactic towards the end of my season in Atletico because i keep getting draw against many small teams, so far so good. I finished the season winning everything except supercopa. I like this tactic because it gives me a good offensive power without sacrificing my defense, i even got a win against Man City in both leg on ucl semis and rn i'm starting a new season already winning the super cup against Monaco, so yeah thank you so much for sharing this tactic. 

oh btw i forgot to screenshot the match results from the last season so i'll put the manager history and some results in the new season plus my starting lineup rn. 

i signed Koopmeiners for free and the others like Dovbyk are hella cheap, all below 40 and some of them are even below 20, i got lucky i guess
