![]() ![]() This approach is complemented by the ‘Play from the Back’ tactical instruction – this makes sure that we don’t waste scoring opportunities by launching attacks too early. To avoid too much long-ball play or constant crossing from the flanks, I’m a bit more conservative with the roles and duties assigned to my defenders, full-backs and midfielders. These give an idea of how much freedom the players are given regarding risk-taking and as a general rule you want the likelihood of a player taking risks increasing as the ball gets closer to the opposition penalty area. The real gradation in the level to which a player will attack comes from their individual mentalities. It provides the perfect combination of player behaviours, as the attackers will take risks, but the more defensive players won’t become too adventurous and therefore leave you exposed at the back. I’ve always found the Balanced mentality to be a good foundation for most of my tactics. It also offers a three-pronged attack, with the attacking wide players always likely to join the central striker in taking advantage of all the chances created. There are players fulfilling playmaking roles at every level of the formation, meaning that attacks can be started from the flanks, defensive midfield and with the No.10 attacking midfield position. The 4-2-3-1 offers many avenues for crafting quick counters. The Ball-Playing Defender could also be part of his group, provided they have the right Attribute mix. To showcase some of the roles and instructions you might want to use in your teams, I’ve put together an effective 4-2-3-1.Ĭentral to this system are the players who will be feeding key passes and crosses to our attackers, so principally the Regista, Attacking Midfielder and the two Wing-Backs. Ultimately, its success boils down to a logical distribution of roles and duties and a selection of a few key team instructions. Whether it’s a defence-splitting pass from one of your midfielders or a whipped cross from the flank, a good attacking transition involves the exploitation of space and is indicative of a balanced tactic. The focus of this piece is on maximising attacking transitions, moments that typically last no more than 10-12 seconds, and specifically how to produce effective counter-attacks through Instructions and Player Roles. ![]() Do you want them to counter-press the opposition and try to win the ball back at all costs? Or would you rather they dropped back into their defensive positions and regroup in anticipation of an opposition attack? Attacking Transitions This is referred to as In Transition.ĭuring transitions, you are instructing your players on what they should be doing between phases, so moving from in possession to out of possession or vice-versa. Where the magic happens, however, is between the phases. In FM22, these phases are broken down into two categories: In Possession and Out of Possession. Phases of PlayĮvery football match is comprised of various parts, known as phases of play. Fast attacking transitions and effective counters are an antidote to such ‘stale’ football. When teams fail to move the ball on quickly, they end up with too much possession and not enough penetration the dreaded possession for possession’s sake. The quicker they do this, the less time the opposition will have to organise their defence. No matter your approach, every football team should be looking to move the ball quickly towards the opposition’s goal after securing possession. ![]() Ihor Crusadertsar explains how you can create more effective transitions in FM22. Arguably, any successful tactic needs to have potent, well-thought-out attacking transitions. Attacking transitions are a core element of most styles of play but particularly counter-attacking football. ![]()
