Possession numbers in themselves are not important to him. In his case, it is Progressive Possession style. Pep is unique among football managers, is that he is not just looking to win but to win in style.
Guardiola never cared about possession alone. Progressive Possession is key to Guardiola’s Positional Play. It is not possession for the sake of possession that the classic Tiki-Taka has erroneously become known for. Progressive Possession is possession with an attacking intent. And if you are a top team and not playing progressive possession, then you are doing something wrong. Both are also staunch practitioners of Vertical Tiki-Taka, or progressive possession style. Both Pep Guardiola in his Positional Play philosophy and Maurizio Sarri (Sarriball) played with some type of 4-3-3. Therefore it is no surprise that 4-3-3 has been favoured by some of the most attack-oriented managers. It is surprising how defensively solid it can be even with as many as 5 players going into attack. And most importantly with the correct balance of roles, defence can easily cover for the forwards’ adventurous attacking movement. In attack, 4-3-3 can offer both dangerous width and plenty of chances for overloads with the right roles. At the same time, quick and creative False9 like Messi can have great chemistry with inside forwards. It’s where inside forwards can take advantage of their superior speed and dribbling unlike the less mobile traditional Number9 strikers. The only open space that can still be found is often on the wings. With the advent of modern tactics that favour heavy pressing and possession, the middle of the field becomes overcrowded. In its embrace of the inside forward it is very much a forward-thinking modern formation. It is due to the fact that 4-3-3 (and its 4-1-4-1 DM variant) unlike the 4-4-2, values the inside forward. In my opinion, the 4-3-3 is the most versatile and balanced shape in FM20. Now I am going to go ahead and repeat what I already said before. The other half comes from the tactic you play him in. When you fit a player into his ideal role then you are half way to making a successful tactic. All it takes is having a clear plan and knowing your players. Now I am going to take the less popular view and say that scoring goals is easy in FM20. As I believe in FM20 it can be a real goal-machine formation. In this article I would like to simplify the elements which I believe are essential to scoring goals within one of my favourite formations, 4-3-3. Or so many of the users on the popular Sports Interactive forums claim. Since switching to FM20, scoring lots of goals has not gotten any easier. Without going into tactical exploit territory, I tried my own hand at trying to define that magic formula for a goal-scorer in FM19. FM enthusiasts will always look for ways to “break” the game and set virtual goal-scoring records.
It’s the reason why plug-and-play tactics and tactic guides exist. In Football Manager, as in real life scoring lots of goals is not a simple thing. And scoring goals is not easy, although players like Fiorentina’s “Batigol” Batistuta made it look easy. At its most basic, football is about outscoring your opponent. The poacher acted as the perfect posterboy for the beautiful game, stripping it down to its absolute essence. To this day nothing reminds me of Serie A’s Golden 1990s Era as its absolute fascination with the pure goal-scoring strikers. These fantasistas especially impressed on this young Ukrainian boy watching football in late 90s. Legendary Serie A players like Inzaghi, Batistuta and Shevchenko, stood larger than life due to their goals-scoring exploits. The “fox in the box” poacher is one of my favourite roles in football. You will see quick cutback goals, worldly long shots from midfield, and real “fox in the box” beauties. By applying concepts of Guardiola’s Positional Play, the overloads generated will create space for your players to exploit in interesting ways. The final 4-3-3 that I’ve settled on should to lead to varied goals from different players. After my initial attempts at recreating classic Dutch Total Football, I finally settled on 4-3-3 system by drawing some inspiration from one of Cruyff’s students. Not just lucky goals from scrambles caused by set pieces. I like to see a variety of goals that result from intricate build up. I love to score goals in Football Manager.
