I couldn't agree more with the sandbox mode. As a brand new player trying to figure out roles I was looking for an in game feature to simulate plays & tactics.....but sadly there was none. Thank you so much for your youtubes my friend they are always extremely helpful :)
I studied A. Madrid positioning during their games and pointed out they are weak on the flanks with their 532. I won 2-0 in their stadium with Granada 😍🔥
Wow, I forget that before all my stuff you were my expert on all things FM tactics. Love the little comment about needing aerially proficient defenders to play a Low block. If anyone wants a real life example of a team that often plays a low block and actually wins lots games. Look no further than Newcastle last season. Brentford are another team who also took great advantage of set pieces. My tips for playing a low block are 1) sign good aerial defenders and or midfielders 2) take advantage of corners/freekicks and if you can play wingers or wingbacks to force these situations 3) Make sure you have a good set piece taker 4) Fast strikers who preferably are also good aerially 5) Play direct, and try to have attack/defend duties and less support (link play) duties. The last one is to get you behind teams playing high defensive lines. If a team isn’t playing a high line then simply focus play down the flanks. Once again forcing corners, free kicks and even throw ins with your wingers/wingbacks
Sandbox mode is such a damn good idea. All it needs to be, is a tactics screen where you can do all the things you normally would. Save, import/export, change presets, etc. Then, you could load up a match between teams of generic players with varying levels of ability to see how it all plays out. So for example... a custom tactic designed as a low block system played by a weak(ish) team, going up against a preset like control possession, played by a much more skilled team. That would be amazing. But I think the developers would be concerned that people would find exploits too easily with this type of thing.
Great job! Love your videos because it is always different subject and you are always devoted to pass your knowledge on. This days there is not enough yt content on defending topic.
I found myself moving to a mid block, with a high defensive line and it really helped my 433. It lets my fast wingers and striker get out and RUN at the backline
Thanks for the video Daljit. When ever I was doing well with a team and needing to attack more I was getting caught I transition with no rest defence usually conceding. Now thanks to your help I know how to attack smarter with using different approaches.
Para o jogo mais direto ter algum sucesso e não ficar apenas entregando a bola para o adversário, seria interessante ter um ataque com muita presença física, área e cabeceamento? Pra disputar essa bola com os marcadores e ganhar a disputa no rebote em áreas mais próximas ao gol adversário?
You cannot play a 4-2-4 with two identical half backs and no midfield players. You exploit the match engine that way. It’s like a striker less tactic. The match engine gets fooled because it acts like you have a midfield.

If you look at the current data, more and more clubs are signing players that are tall with jumping reach. It's a trend.

Best FM content out there, thanks Rashidi
Thank you for showing a low block 5-2-3 some love. I have been refusing to use gegenpress for two or three years now and love me some Catenaccio 😍

I appreciate that!
Love it! The idea of tactic testing is worthy for SI to implement. Kee the videos coming please
Thank you for the help! Great FM teacher.
Any time!
Great video. Really enjoyed it and great for my current save

Just save the game before the match, try out the tactic, if it works, great, if not Alt F4 at the final whistle and try again
what do you do please that the players are this big in 2D mode? Can't replicate that at all
Nice
are you able to post the 442 tactic? thanks
Sandbox is a great idea!!! Si are you watching?
Daljit at his best !

Yes physical attributes are king for a direct style
Do a 532 low block
thank you for football lessons! o7
Positional play but in FM terms 😂
Hi Daljit, i cant find your discord channel
If you play against a team with 2 forwards then you should be playing 3 at the back so you have a spare defender in build up and defence
Or you can still play with 2 defenders and a DM, both AFs don't attack at the same time
