Aggressive Pressing; An Absolute Prerequisite

The next bit is going to make me sound like an absolute cunt of a football hipster, but I do feel it’s necessary to create a sort of framework and explain some of the definitions I intend to use. What I want to discuss is the concept of “counter-pressing,” because Read more…

The Withdrawn Targetman Saga; The Rise Of The Targetganche™

As I mentioned in a previous post, I was in dire need of a Plan B for my strikerless formations. The idea I had was to mix up Stoke City under Pulis, an aggressive, direct style of play, with the fluid motions of the strikerless style I normally play. With opposing Read more…

The Withdrawn Targetman Saga; Before Success Comes Some Sort Of Failure Apparently

As I mentioned in a previous post, I was in dire need of a Plan B for my strikerless formations. The idea I had was to mix up Stoke City under Pulis, an aggressive, direct style of play, with the fluid motions of the strikerless style I normally play. With Read more…

Creating A Plan B; The Withdrawn Targetman Saga

Having the strikerless style pretty much tailored to suit the strengths of my team, I have dominated the Dutch league and Europe over the past decade or so. More and more teams are changing their style to try and combat my strikerless formation. On the one hand, that’s a huge Read more…

Per Request; Download-links & Style Pictures

I don’t intend to make a habit out of this, but people have been asking me for downloads of my tactics or at the very least a screenshot of the style and settings I use. I’ll oblige, but I’d rather have a discussion on how to achieve a good strikerless Read more…

Just some match clips; because I love the way we can play at times

Because sometimes, a picture (or movie) is worth a thousand words. This is what we want to achieve. The clips just display what I want to see. Aggressive pressing, excellent runs off the ball to create space for others, creating overloads in midfield and on the wings, a cohesive team Read more…

Going through the strikerless motions; stretching a defence

The concept of an absolute formation does not exist. It’s a myth, crammed into our heads by analysts and newspapers, oversimplifying things. There’s no such thing as playing 4-4-2, no 4-4-2 is the same in the way they actually take to the field and move around on the pitch. Every Read more…

Strikers Are Overrated; Why Use Them At All?

It’s a bit of a cliché, but it’s true nonetheless. Strikers are overvalued. Just look at the top 20 of most expensive transfer fees. It’s pretty much self-explanatory. Whilst Bale is not an out-and-0ut forward, Ronaldo has developed into one the last few years. Four players in the top 10 Read more…

Strikerless; my Magnum Opus

Have any of you perhaps played FM Live? Probably not and the game, despite all of its brilliant potential, is now as dead as Joey Barton’s career prospects for England. During its existence however, I was introduced to the dreaded 4-6-0 tactic, or as it was known in many GameWorlds, Read more…
