Out of curiosity I've also done some holliday-testing with other teams (see screenshots below) and the results were pretty surprising. But this is not a pure Pep replication, it's basically my own twist on a possession-based 433.īefore we start, let's give some credit: I've gained a ton of FM knowledge from guys like Defender and For the way I'm trying to create this tactical thread, my inspiration was based on possession-based tactic threads by also threads by U Rosler from earlier versions of FM.įirst, let's look at some test results of my tactic: the system is better suited for bigger teams and was initially created with the main purpose to be used by FC Bayern and Ajax. I'm not trying to replicate any real-life team/manager, although Pep had a huge influence on my way of trying to play. This is about possession-based attacking football. If you're interested in installing a possession-based 433 and tweak some little things from game to game, this could be the right thread for you. If you want an overpowered tactic to plug-and-play and never change anything, there will probably be better threads for you than this one. I do provide a download for my tactics but this is more of a guide on how to use the tactics in certain game situations. This tactics-thread is not supposed to be a "plug-and-play one-size-fits-all tactic". After reading through countless articles and trying/testing a ton of tactics I decided to try my own tactics.
