Press after possession loss 30 55 Fast build up Direct passing 50 7 2 2 Wing backs join the attack and overlap CBs all step up CCM stay back and cover centre Easily the best formation I've used this year. You can counter with it or use slow build up. Use cross field passes from wing back to wing back to open up space if…
I've been having great fun and success with the 532 formation because it makes it easy to move the ball from one side of the pitch to the other and it provides a lot of crossing opportunities. Team and tactics are as follows. GK - Come for crosses, sweeper keeper. LWB + RWB - Join attack, overlap. All CBs - Step up. CCM -…
Zambrotta is going to have to go. Despite have a 5 star weak foot he keeps trying to cross with his right foot when it is set up perfectly for a left foor cross.
Loving this 532 team except I now have Fekir and Numbers Fabian in for Savic and Beckham. Cafu is brilliant at RWB and has 7 assists in 8 games but Zambrotta has been a bit disappointing with 1 goal and 0 assists in 8 games. By the way that Flashback Morata card is amazing! He's banging the headed goals in for me.
I'm going to try something different by going 532 with Cafu and Zambrotta as attacking full back to provide the crosses for FB Morata and RB Arnautivic/POTM Simeone. Hopefully this will be fun to use!
Finished off tonight with one win. I'm just not getting rewarded for my good play because it's not meta. So many good chances from header and volleys from 5 yards out that the keeper is saving or I'm hitting the post or the bar and then I concede straight after. I'm actually struggling to score any goals now. Also I might…
I'm getting destroyed in division 3 after being relegated from division 1. Think I've won one game all night. As soon as I lose the ball I just get countered with one or two passes and I can't stop it.
Is anyone else finding that keepers are making ridiculous saves from headers which are 5 yards out from goal? Just lost a game 3-2 there and I had 6.5 expected goals and the keep was saving headers that were into the top corner that they should never be saving from so close to the goal. Got hit with 3 counters and 3…
I've been really struggling with the big men up top so I'm going to have to go with POTM Simeone as my target man. Just did the Beckham SBC so he will be proving the crosses for him!
What's everyone's thoughts on RB Haaland then, is he worth getting now he's dropped below 600k? Thinking of getting him for this team but a bit worried how much his price has crashed already. Nkunku and Zakaria are 2 rocks at CDM.
I don't have a team, I was planning on a French influenced team so I was doing the Nkunku SBC and packed hero Pele from the Bundesliga pack. In 2 minds about what to make now.
I feel like I'm bang average to be honest. When I play people on the same level as me I'll win, lose and draw which is what it should be but when I play anyone better than me I get smashed by 4 or 5 goals. I went on a good run a few days ago which took me up to division 2 but now I'm really struggling.
I was so close to quitting but I hate when people quit against me so I stuck with it. Both heavy defeats came against the 4312 formation which ripped me apart so I'm thinking of giving it a go for my next team that I make.
This game doesn't reward heading at all. I've lost count of how many times the keepers are making ridiculous saves from point blank headers only for my opponent to run up the pitch and score.
This is the most balanced team I've had yet. If I'm struggling to link the play between midfield and strikers I switch to 4411 and move Ilicic to CF. Honestly if nobody has tried him I highly recommend him, he's such an underrated player. Only player I'm not fully sold on is Felipe Anderson.
