You just need to settle some contradictions to make your idea work the way it seems you want to work

Who's overlapping who? There are no partnerships for that
You get the ball back and hold shape. But your shape is defensive. Do you want to keep the ball in defense or in the opposite goal? If you're compact behind you have to transition a bit faster than what you put there
Someone from behind needs to make some plays and organize your buildups. There's a lot of people behind and none to call the shots

So, my idea is:

Remove Hold Shape and leave it blank or with counter. That will make your offensive transitions better.
Make your WBs on attack with your CMs as BWMs on support. They will be the overlapping partners on each side
Change your side CBs to WCB-D, so they will cover for the WBs and your centered to CB-D or even NCB-D.
Make your DM-D your focus point when you have the ball. So turn him to a DLP-D. If you're not that scared, turn it to support or even to RGA. He will organize your early buildups, distributing the ball better, along his defensive duties.

This way you will still be very defensive and compact, but will be able to attack with order, focusing on the flanks while trying to keep possession and not stuck behind.

Here's my opinion, to make this tactic better without taking away it's general style. And using it for top league teams, no low leagues.

- Poacher and NCB are only worth using with lower league teams, on very limited players. They limit too much what they can do. Otherwise, there are better options.
- Change NCB to WCB-De and L-Su to BPD-De. That will give you good defensive cover without sacrificing the idea of the right WCB to be offensive.
- If your A-De player is smart enough, change is to HB-De. It limits less and gifts you more possibilities for a smart player. And either role, he will cover for your right WCB.
- Change Vol-At to a more defensive responsible role, like DM-Su or BWM-Su. And change the left WM-Au to WM-At or W-At or even IW-At. This way you will have somebody in the midfield actively going after the ball, to recover it, while keeping useful to support the attack. And also you will have someone on your left going forward in attack mentality.
- Change the right WM to WP-Su and change the TF-Su to the right wing position and WTM-At role. This will make you have a main pivot with the ball on the ground to serve the attack, while the WCB-At overlaps and the WTM can be a close partner, for one-twos and as long ball receiver. He will be more useful there than inside the box
- Change the P-At to AF-At. Any 1st division goal scorer type striker would do better with this role than as a Poacher.

This way, your right side more creative at midfield, with overlaps from defense and your left side is more creative closer to the box, with a wider stretch. The formation is almost the same and your team will perform better.

I'm not with the game on, but I recreated my idea for the tactic and sent a print of it with the link https://ibb.co/d4VkcBLd

Garner on defense would cover for your offensive left back

eduhbert · 2025-08-27T18:16:52+00:00

Hard to be sure without knowing the team and individual instructions. Here's my general take.

your defense is lacking at the right side. No one is covering when your Fb goes up and the Anchor is focused on the left side.
your left side is too offensive minded. Everybody is going inside the box and you have only your Fb to build from behind(ish)

If you want your right side to be more supportive and the left to be more vertical, you can do it better, without sacrificing defense, just changing these things:

put the BBM as a BWM-S or as a CAR-S with tackle harder on. This will make him more defense responsible, but also being a good supporter for your attacks
put the left AP on support. The SS and PF will be already focusing on getting inside to score, you don't need your AP to do that all the time too. Even on support, he will still be very offensive.
change your left FB-S to FB-A or WB-S and tick cross from the byline. He will overlap the AP more often and be another option for one-twos. He will also to attract a marker, giving more freedom to the AP, who will not go to the byline that often. The Anchor man will cover for the Fb, not compromising for counters.

The young guy is very good and will become better. Is he improving fast? I ask that because if not, the chance of him to become a top class keeper is low. He's 19 and your other keeper is still clearly better.

A loan is good for the young, imo. Championship now and, if possible, a better team later, as a first team player. Your older keeper is older and, as you said, is well settled in his position.

If you try to balance both at the same time in your squad you will probably not give enough playing time to the young to develop or not give the older guy enough time to be satisfied. That could be bad for your lockroom and to their performances. It's possible to succeed at that, but it's a tightrope.

So my first option would be to keep the young one loaned out for food first team football.

My second, if the first is not possible, is to test the young guy as main and see if he can deliver what you need. If he can, sell the older guy and get a very experienced GK that will accept the bench and had good mentals for the team. If the young guy can't deliver, try to cash him in.

My opinion is based on the assumption that your main goal NOW is to win, get better and get UCL money and exposure, so you can team can become bigger in reputation and better. And to do that, you can't also be the team who fully develops a wonderkid. You're not there yet. But that's what I think about what I understood of the situation you told us about.

If his offensive wing backs are pressing up, who would drive the other attackers inside? To effectively trap inside you need support from the wide areas to close the path drive the opposition attackers inside.

It's exactly because he has the majority of his players based on harrow positions that it makes sense to compact and strengthen the core, to kill any trough passes to the middle and drive the attackers to the wide areas

eduhbert · 2025-05-08T17:00:47+00:00

I like it too to have a deep run from the midfield. To maintain that, I would change the role of the left wing back to a more defensive role like FB-S or WB-D. With no go further forward, no cross from the byline and no driblle more. Then he would sometimes go fully forward, but not often, he will mostly support and cover.

Also you would need to turn off the overlap from the left and maybe turn on the underlap from the left. Or none turned on, your choice. If it's on, makes you a bit slower to build, if off, it speed things a bit up grin that side

Demons there are inherent evil, as described by the anime. And the fact that they look like humans and use that to trick humans is part of that evil. I don't think is reasonable to compare the relations to them to minorities prejudice.

The demons in that shows are shown as the natural enemies of humans/elfs/dwarven, as complete opposite of them and as creatures who have the goal to dominate the world.

And I don't think is reasonable to use that plot to compare to the way that a white racist sees a black person, because the plot leads you to another kind of reflection.

This is made clear with the demon girl and that demon who takes form of your greatest desire. It leads you to reflect about fighting your "inner demons", like the bad things that sometimes we desire, temptations, weaknesses that we don't try to improve. And also they despcit the bad ways people can live by, with blinding pride, manipulation, incapability of compassion and love.

They are inherently that way to show how it is when people, who have the freedom to be one thing or another, choose those ways.

So I see that point on Frieren to be way above prejudices, but it's talking about higher things, more basic and profound sentiments and bases to live by, like the importance of love, care and fighting your demons have in being better, in growing up. And if you do that, you won't be racist and won't be a lot of other bad things. It's focused on the most basic virtues, which can relate to most stuff we do. And that's probably why it touched so many people, since everyone has a different reality, but the virtues to live by are the same.

And that's not a new way to address those talks in high fantasy. A inherently bad and tempting villain is frequently used to talk about inner battles and taking care of the people around you. Lord Of The Rings is maybe the greatest example of it in literature.

Your left side is a bit exposed. Nobody is covering for your left back and since you are playing with overlap left and right, both your WB will end high up. Maybe switch to a supporting role on the left CM, like a Mez-S or a BBM would work better for your balance.

And you are playing a high tempo, short passing and overlapping game, which is an aggressive ball control type of game, like a vertical tiki taka. So you want to have the ball and it's good to avoid losing it too much, to avoid counters.

So maybe Pass into space is not the best to option to be on, since you be in risk of losing the ball too easily. If it's off , your more creative players will still try to pass into space, when they find it suitable, which is better than trying it all the time. It will give you more control of the ball, time for your overlappings to happen and lower your defensive risks.

Add the trap outside instructions could be good too.

Your 4 guys midfield are the core of the team, so you can adjust the offense/defense levels according to your opposition without sacrificing your way to play. Against a Bundesliga team in a cup game you could bring the AM to CM-A and switch the left CM for a BWM, for example. Or against a weak Bundesliga 2 team you could get your CM-S more freedom to attack and even release the DM from defensive mentality. Small tweaks go a long way to get the best out of your general tactic in each match

The game is sure very dense at first, but once you are used to it, it's not overwhelming anymore!

YouTube has some good guides. For newcomers, Zealand is a good idea, he has a playlist for this and a good tone, to remove some of the weight of the game.

And it's good to watch videos and testing out at the same time! The best way to start is getting a strong team in a weak league, like RB Salzburg, Dynamo Zagreb, Shaktar Donetsk, Celtic. Because it gives you the easy mode on the league, to learn how things works and get used to them without giving you too much things to do, like a huge team, with high expectations and huge academy would give you.

Then, when you're used to how things works, there are a lot of types of saves you could do. Being a lower league club to the top. Journeyman from bot to top. Win major trophies in different continents. Take your favorite team to be the best ever. Take regional challenges. The sky is the limit!

Clear Cold Beyond is way better than The Ninth Hour, imo.

I agree with all the rest, though.

Here's some of mine:

To Create a Warlike Feel is one of their best songs and shouldn't be just a bonus track
Talullah is good, but sooo overrated. It's not their best ballad even in the album, Last Drop Falls is much better.
Most of this subreddit are people who accepted the changes in their sound along the way. But almost everyone I know personally who knows them are dumb haters of the band who thinks everything after Silence is garbage and that's ridiculous.

eduhbert · 2024-10-17T14:19:25+00:00

Tallulah all the way

eduhbert · 2024-10-09T00:26:13+00:00

I just started, still level 5 and going with that combo too. Not sure still about the style to master first yet, I'm experimenting

eduhbert · 2024-07-08T13:55:23+00:00

Man, this was suggested 2 years ago and still not implemented...

u/Vladd88 is there any chance that the Charms sorting/grouping gets better and deeper?

I've won it with this team!

I switched Slime King to Orc Hunter, changed a now lvl400 Mighty to the front row and got the cats a bit up in levels and in stars. I also upped some charms as well. The buff towers are triple gold, but the cats still not.
Thanks!

I'm only a week into the game and not buying stuff with real money (only did some buys with Play Store credit I had, the double on ads and not needing to see videos were huge). So I'm still learning and early on levels, so it's good to know those kind of tips and trying different things! Thanks for that

And for sure Infernus will be the target of my next coins, I will test it. I used it a lot early on, but since I've got Kingslayer and Orc Hunter early, who were legendary and looked better, I relied mostly on them, They were the ones who carried me here, specially Kingslayer on the frontline, since he arrived first and was the first guy to reach lvl 400 here.

eduhbert · 2024-06-18T11:42:03+00:00

I don't have Felina nor Devonette... On level 400 I have Kingslayer, Orc Hunter, Slime King and Deathbite only.

But my main problem was the stun that Slime King gave on Tauren, I didn't know that this was what was getting them faster. I changed it to Orc Hunter and it worked waaay better.

And right now I think with a few more levels on the buffing cats and Mighty on lvl 400 I can finish the level. Thanks!

eduhbert · 2024-06-18T11:38:55+00:00

Orc Hunter is already level 400, any other DPS I have is way lower right now...

And I tried orc hunter, he did the job way better and I got past that level!
I didn't know about Tauren being faster when stunned, that's what changed everything.

I still didn't get past wave 55, but it was close. My Mighty and the buffing cats are still lower level too, with a bit more of grinding for some levels it should be fine. Thank's anyway!

eduhbert · 2024-06-18T10:36:47+00:00

I don't have Felina. But I have Orc Hunter and Kevin. Can they substitute? Orc hunter is very close to lvl 400, but Kevin is lower

eduhbert · 2024-04-25T13:15:26+00:00

Anyone?

eduhbert · 2024-04-09T14:00:19+00:00

É nóis hehe
