Football Manager Tactics The 4-4-2Just a quick foreword, this isn’t my usual style on tactics, it’s more of a quick overview to my 4-4-2 as a reference for my save with Parma as my pre-season post was getting a bit long. Also, I’m having some eGPU issues, so the screen capture quality isn’t great. That being said, hopefully, this quick overview of the 4-4-2 I use is useful.There’s also a download link at the bottom if you want to give it a tryMy view of tactics in Football Manager has changed somewhat over the last 12 months. I have tried to think less about specific player roles that SI have allocated the various templated roles we can use, and think more about positions and instructions. The questions I ask are where do I want my players positioned on the pitch and what do I want them to do in defensive and attacking phases.To look at the positions on the pitch more simplistically, rather than looking at the positions in terms of the player roles the players have, e.g., a deep-lying playmaker, I try to think about what I want from that player when he is in that position. The roles are just a name for a collection of instructions to simplify selection. For example, if you want your number 6 to be more defensive, a player who just holds his position in the centre of the pitch, protecting the back four when the team are in attack, but then also have the freedom to be creative and open up the attacks in defence, you would assign him a role based on the instructions required to carry out your requirements.So I would look to see which roles are available in the position that will allow a defensive duty and to hold their position.
From the central midfielder position, the answer; a central midfielder, a deep-lying playmaker and a ball winning midfielder. Drilling down into these roles the ball winning midfielder is a little more aggressive in winning back possession than I would like so both the central midfielder and the deep lying playmaker would work here. Xcellent article about 4-4-2, I play very long manager and I play 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1.and just 2 weeks back I managed to understand something in fm.there can I say I tried everything scout opponet scout tactical and there was less and less progress in the game. So I can freely say the most important thing in fm? Link to the logical whole!!
Everyone tries the contrary to give the poor results 17 or 18 place in the league. What does not matter in fm? Most importantly, tactics and team instructions are the most important, and the individual is not so much. Setting up roles and tasks within the formation. Most notably that formation has a balance, because unbalanced tactics are a way to defeat.

So this was a little too in-depth, but like I said earlier I'm fascinated with these tactics and I'm eagerly awaiting the response to this. In about a weeks time I will post a follow up thread to this one where people who tried to re-create these tactics can share their experiences of how they got on. I would also appreciate comments and criticisms about this format.However with regards to future discussions I am going to post a comment in each thread where you can reply with a suggestion for the next one. For the time being you might as well reply to this one. Once again thank you for checking this out.
Not particularly, Bielsa has two mide men on both flanks, a wingback and a winger. I've yet to decide for myself how to distribute roles for these players but I imagine I'll bite the bullet and have attacking wingbacks as well as attacking defensive wingers.The key is to have your wingbacks cut inside and provide support in midfield, however when possession is won in the opposition's half they aim to run into and exploit the space between the fullback and the centrebacks which will hopefully have been stretched by the defensive wingers staying wide. I imagine this will be incredibly difficult to implement in Football Manager because you want them to be in support when playing from the back or in attack when launching a counterattack.Again a back 3 or a back 2 depends on how many strikers the opposition plays with, regardless you want them to have stats decent enough to be employed as ball-playing defenders. You might not necessarily select them as such but you don't want to be counterattacking from the back so defenders who clear the ball immediately are discouraged.
