This year's biggest introduction, the dynamics feature that breaks down inter-squad relationships and cliques, is a natural extension of that idea and I think it might eventually be an important one. Since then, the trend has been toward making a game about dealing with players as functioning human beings rather than a bundle of stats. It began, in earnest, with a renewed emphasis on player roles and instructions rather than more abstract tactical sliders. In recent years, Football Manager has been making a slow but determined shift toward stronger role-playing elements. On the pitch, I'm enjoying it as much as I ever have, but whether it's a reflection of reality or not, I find the basics of dealing with a squad of sulks as tedious as Ashley Cole's autobiography. I might be a legend of the game and one of the most beloved footballers of my generation but as soon as I stick my nose in at half-time, all the energy is sucked out of the dressing room.įootball Manager 2018 gives me all of the data I need to understand why the team are uninterested or unhappy, but I'm not convinced it gives me any meaningful or interesting tools to address those factors. If all of your Staff doesn't have this same mindset, you will have trouble orchestrating the Gegenpressing Tactic at all times.Nobody listens to a word I say. And this goes especially for your Assistant Managers during the matches you have. Staff: In regards to your Staff, all of your members must be firm believers in Closing Down opponents "Aggressively". This should keep you players playing to the Best of their ability, which you will need for as strenuous of a tactic as this. Training: Since your Players need to be in tip top shape to run this tactic, you should always mix in as much fitness training as you can, including during Preseason, Winter Breaks and International Fixture Breaks. If your players aren't in shape, they won't be able to keep up with the pace this tactic needs. This style of play is very quick and uptempo, and requiring loads of running to be executed. Physical Attributes: On top of the various Technical and Mental Attributes that your Players must have in order to properly run the Gegenpressing Tactic, they will also need high values in Acceleration, Pace and Stamina. Actually, these are all the more key for your players to have, even more so than the individual Technical Attributes. Mental Attributes: In addition to the Technical Attributes above, your Players must also have great Mental Attributes in the areas of Work Rate, Teamwork and Determination. Finally, all of you players must have at least decent Tackling Skills. On top of this, your players having great First Touch and Technique will help this tactic come together nicely. Technical Attributes: If one Technical Attribute is key for all of your Players to have in order to run this tactic, it has to be that they all must be Good Passers. Opposition: There isn't much you can control when it comes to your opposing as far as the Gegenpressing Tactic is concerned however, creating Pressing Traps by Pressing Key Positions on the other teams should help you isolate the ball all the better. In addition to this, your Wide Midfielders, AMs and Strikers will all need to be set to "Mark Tightly" in order to apply pressure to opposing players whenever their is a change of possession. Players: In regards to your players, you will need all of your Wide Midfielders, Central Midfielders, AMs and Strikers to have their Closing Down set to the maximum. In addition to all of this, playing with a "Higher" Tempo is also helpful for this scheme. Finally, the you must have an aggressive mentality of either "Attacking", "Control" or "Counter", as well as have "Fluid" or "Very Fluid" in regards to your Team Shape. Playing an "Offside Trap" is also a must, along with choosing "More" or "Much More" for Closing Down with your entire team.
Team: As far as your team is concerned, you will need to choose "Higher" or "Slightly Higher" for your Defensive Line as this will see your Players always close to the opposition. The ideal formations to orchestrate this are a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-1-2-2-1, but a 4-4-1-1, 4-1-4-1 or a 4-4-2 can also work if (and only if) your wide midfielders can push opposing teams further up the pitch. Because of this, outside of your striker, you will need between 1-3 AM Positions so you can place them as close as possible, which will see opposing teams under constant pressure. Formation: In order to run the Gegenpressing Tactic, you will need to have your Players in advanced positions at almost all times.
