Thanks for the vids ;) The day I realized that pretty much any symmetric tactic is asymmetric at some point during games, it became much less scary for me! So I started experimenting and my results are : if the basics of a good tactic are there, there's no reason why an asymmetric one wouldn't work ^^
Im currently running my Schalke Safe with an asymetrical 4-2-3-1 and as many "excotic" roles as possible and its really fun and potent. I won the 2nd Bundesliga with Schalke 04 (not that hard i know) on a point record and finishing rank 7 in my first Bundesliga season while also winning the Cup with a 2:1 victory in the final against Bayer Leverkusen. Battering RB Leipzig in the quarterfinal 6:3. P WTM(SU) T (or OM/A) APM(A) DW(support) BWM(SU) IWB(SU) BPD LIB IFB Player roles: Poacher: The main reason for the poacher is that he stays in the box and doenst go into halfscpaces. He is more a bait for the centerbacks to draw their attention. WTM: His main job is to hold the ball and give it to the APM but he will be a constant threat on the far post for crossings while the poacher keeps the 2 centerbacks busy APM: Goes into halfspaces for a finish, idealy both 2centerback are covering the poacher and there is only one DM left to take care of either the APM or the Trequartista. U can also use an CM(A) Trequartista: Basicly the wild cart in ur offense who does what ever he wants. U can also use an OM(A) with dribble more. Defensive Winger: The hero in this tactic. Shuts down the flank while providing crosses and passing options Pretty much like a Box2Box midfielder but with crossings. But he will also cut inside from time to time and go for a finish if possible. IWB: Teams up with BWM to retain posession. If ur playing against a formation with 3 defenders u should change him to a regular WB on attack to overlap with the Widetargetguy. BPD: self explaining LIB: Holding 6 to link up play IFB: teaming up with the BPD. in combination with the defensive winger its boarderline impossible to hit u with crosses. Team instructions: In posession: Narrower formation, shorter passing, higher tempo, everything else depends on ur team but being more expressive isnt a bad idea In Transition: Gegenpress In Defense: more often triggerpress, prevend short gk distribution. outside pressing trap Keep in mind that thats not the average 4-2-3-1 so its gonna take few games for ur players to adapt and u will most likely loose or draw the first 3-5 matches. Its also bit difficult to find certain player roles like the widetargetguy or the defensive winger so its better to retrain regular target forwards and wingbacks.
@@YGormy mh tbh i dont really notice a difference to a regular OM on attack. i managed to snatch cem urzun from nürnberg and he has insane dribbling, technique and fliar so i thought ill give it a try. since the original idea was to press as many rare/exotic roles as possible into one tactic i thought that would be a good addition :D Btw even though that tactic is really good it has its up and downs. u gonna destroy every 4-4-2 u will ever encounter. and i really mean DESTROY. everytime i faced a 4-4-2 it ended with at least 6 goals. on the other hand u gonna struggle against 3-4-3 or, even worse, 3-5-2. its like running against a wall.
Love the videos man. Would u be able to make a video on how to properly use the datacenter for making the tactic better? Kinda got problems to see why my tactic isn’t working
@@YGormy nah like how to find the reason why you are losing games. I build a tactic tested it with arsenal and I often have a lot of possession but can’t get chances. I’m not really sure how to find the mistakes in datacenter
Okay I think I get what you mean. Utilizing the data hub (aka numbers) to pinpoint what is going wrong in the tactic or whether it is a problem with a player, right?

Glad you enjoyed the video! I personally prefer ASYM tactics over basic formations, more fun and they allow you to do more!

Love the comment, but love even more that you took the time to actually lay out the formation and roles! How do you like the Trequartista btw?

amazing video as always, I will give a try on this type or tactics at my west ham save
Glad you enjoyed! Good luck at West Ham!

So like how to play moneyball with tactics? Or how to play moneyball as a whole?

@@YGormy Yes. Using the datahub to tweak your tactic.
Yeah, I can definitely think up something for that!
