If you are taking over a newly-promoted side or one that needs a steadying influence after poor performances, then having a defensive tactic up your sleeve is always handy.
While many players are tempted to jump into the hot seat at Barcelona, Manchester United, or Bayern Munich, there are plenty of teams in FM20 that can’t play free-flowing attacking football right away. The 'False Nine' can be a difficult role to fit a striker into, so changing these two to 'Deep Lying Forward' and 'Advanced Forward' can be more productive for most sides.įootball Manager 2020) Fluid Counter-Attack - 4-4-2 Meanwhile, the midfield pivot of 'Box To Box' and 'Ball Winning' midfielders will keep you solid without the ball and dangerous with it.Ī narrow front three of an advanced AMC in the Advanced 'Playmaker' role and two strikers, one 'False Nine' and one 'Complete Striker', puts a lot of pressure on the opposition to play narrow in defence, opening up those spots for your wing backs to strike. With one 'Cover' central defender and two 'Ball Playing' central defenders you have a strong back line that allows the wing backs to push on and provide width. It is perfect if you take over a team with good midfield depth and few wingers, as it packs the middle of the park and gives you a firm spine of the team. One of the best formations to use for this tactic is the 5-2-1-2 WB. While it asks your players to dominate possession and press hard without the ball, it also emphasises moving the ball vertically up field rather than patiently waiting for openings by passing sideways. This tactic is the natural evolution of Tiki-Taka that came to prominence with Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona side and the all-conquering Spanish teams. That’s where the Vertical Tiki-Taka comes in. The Gegenpress is good, but the emphasis on high intensity running and pressing means it is tough to use in lower leagues or non-elite teams as the it is highly demanding physically.

A good way to do this is to set overlaps from both of your wing backs. Within this tactic it is key to ensure your striker doesn’t get too isolated.
There are very few players with this as a natural, or even accomplished, role.Īn easy switch is to make this central midfielder a 'Ball Winning Midfielder' in games that you expect to be close and a 'Deep Lying Playmaker' in games that should be more comfortable for you to win. You can make a few tweaks to it, specifically changing the 'Carrilero' central midfielder. It provides some cover at the back with the defensive midfielder and has the width to really stretch your opposition both vertically and horizontally.
