Hi guys welcome to the second blog in my blog series OTAF! Today I'm going to be giving you a walk through of possible tactics for a side like RCD Mallorca
.
.
Fundamental Ideas.
The first thing you have to do when making any tactic is look at who you have in your team. Knowing each players strengths and weakness' will enable you to put them into the right role or position but you wont be able to make everybody happy. So the best thing to do is make sure that your best 3 players are comfortable in your shape, their position and the squad instructions. Below are my free best players, that are at the club (not on loan).
 |
| Tomer Hemed - Looks like an ideal Target Man, perhaps favoring long ball? |
 |
Emilio Nsuse - A nippy winger who relies on pace, not overly skillful but still a threat.
|
 |
Pedro Bigas - A solid centre half, he isn't technically gifted so may favour long ball.
|
None of my best players are great technically and (mainly have) average stats across the board. So going on these three players I need to make three simple formations with at least one using long ball.
Creating The Vision.
When creating a set of tactics I look to make a defensive, control and attacking strategy (all in a similar shape). For Mallorca I decided that the best shape to use would be a 4-2-3-1 because of the variation in midfield roles available to me. I also decided that because of my squads relatively low skill level I would also use no individual instructions and use more common roles.
The Master Piece(s)
4-5-1 Defensive
So here is my defensive formation. As you can see I have chosen to play it as a long ball strategy, to suit my team, and it is very defensive! While defending the team become very compact and form a six man defense, with two men sitting just in font, which is very hard to break down!
4-5-1 Mallorca C
My controlling tactic uses exactly the same touchline instructions but different roles and in a different shape. This tactic, again, is hard to break down and quite defensive but you'll still chip in with a few goals!
4-5-1 Mallorca A
If you follow The Football Manager Addicts on Facebook or my page you'll know how much I hate long ball and love wing backs: this formation is attacking, fluid and solid. When you have the ball you'll have at least 6 players in the opposition's half all roaming for the ball!
 |
| *Change 'rigid' to 'fluid'! |
Job Done, For Now...
Success! You should now have three fully functional tactics but the job is never done. You should always look to tweak your tactics to counter your oppositions strengths and weakness'! For instance if you are facing a side with a quick striker who likes to get in behind employ the 'drop deeper instruction!
