Reet, I am doing well now defensivly, but upfront my strikers seem to be seeing very little of the ball.

Here is my tactic if any would like to try it great, it based basically on alot of the feedback of this thread. Any feedback suggestion anything are welcomed.

4-1-3-2 Wingers

I want to keep the style of play the same but my strikers dont seem to be getting alot of the ball or have much space, am I right in thinking if I pull my defensive line back and set to counter attacking, that with slow short passing it isnt a good idea?

Indeed, the slow short passing would pretty much negate the counter attacking - unless you gave your players high creative freedom, but that would cause all sorts of other problems.

Just wanted to make sure thanks.

If I went with the counter attacking it would prob negate anything I was trying to achieve. Any idea's on how to get my forwards more space without tinkering with the DL anyone?

Quick update this tactic is going OK, not conceding at the moment I am struggling with goals from my forwards first 9 games as follows:

Derby (a) Won 2-0
Slavia Prague (h) Won 3-0
Blackburn (a) Won 2-1
Birmingham (h) Won 1-0
Slavia Prague (a) 1-1
Fulham (a) Won 2-0
Portsmouth (h) 0-0
Arsenal (h) 1-1
Sporting (a) Won 2-0

Trying playing with more width and have the full backs set to froward runs often.

Might help pull the opposition defence out of shape.

Or just try upping the tempo.

Barnzy

Thanks jim will try with more width and full backs and then may add the tempo after
