RONALDO Will Improve Man Utd Tactics | FM21 Tactics | Tactical Analysis
Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Manchester United has the Red Devil fans elated. It seemed like his move to City was close, but United got the Portuguese superstar instead.Ronaldo's game has changed a little since he was last at Old Trafford, but that's not to say he's still not a fantastic player. He's become more of a creative player, he still loves to take long shots, but he spends more time on the ball now, which can be a positive for his role at United. Undoubtedly the players will be excited
How Ronaldo + Grealish Can Fit In | Pep Guardiola Man City Tactical Analysis
Cristiano Ronaldo looks to shock the footballing world, and possibly disappoint many United fans, by joining Manchester City before the summer window closes Ronaldo's has changed his game from his Madrid days but nonetheless, still a fantastic player and would certainly improve Manchester City's team.

NEW Klopp & Liverpool Tactics 2021/22 - EPL Winners? | Tactical Analysis & FM21 tactic
Liverpool have started the season with a convincing 3-0 victory in their opening game, with Virgil Van Dijk returning and performing well. Last season, the Reds had to handle their injury crisis, but eventually, it caught up to them. A third-place finish for the Reds was flattering, given the circumstances.However, this season, many expect to see a more consistent Liverpool side and their attack back to its effective ways. Like many top managers, Klopp evolves and constantly looks to implement n
PSG Tactics with Lionel Messi | Tactical Analysis | FM21 Tactic
Tactical Analysis Lionel Messi is undoubtedly one of the greatest footballers ever to have played the game, and his shock move to PSG has me wondering, "how will they utilise the Argentine?" In attack, PSG already have top quality players in Neymar and Kylian Mbappe but throwing Messi into the mix gives Pochettino a great deal of versatility. The PSG manager has previously used a 4-2-3-1 where Messi could be the number 10—dropping deep to collect the ball before progressing with the ball at his
Thomas Tuchel Tactics | Lukaku at Chelsea | Tactical Analysis | MONSTER FM21 Tactic
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THOMAS TUCHEL FM21 TACTIC! What will Lukaku add to Chelsea, other than goals? Romelu Lukaku's style of play allows Chelsea to be more flexible with their shape and gives them the option to play more directly if needed. Lukaku is a complete forward, someone that can play as a target-man and get in-behind defences using his pace and power to beat defenders. But Lukaku drops deep well too, he likes to offer himself as an option, and once he receives the ball, he can turn and

With Messi expected to be announced as a PSG player any time soon, using Football Manager, I'll have an attempt at rebuilding their current squad including their new signings using a tiki-taka tactical template. With Eric Garcia, Memphis Depay, and Sergio Aguero all joining the Catalonia club, we'll see where they can fit in and how well they can fit in, too.

FM21 Best Tactics: POWERFUL 4-2-4 Tactic - QUADRUPLE And Unstoppable Attack
Attack & goals is simply the idea or main attacking principle of this tactic. The front 4 will attempt to give you very direct attacking options, as the wingers stretch the pitch and look for a pass in their path and so to the main-goal scoring striker. Alongside the Advanced Forward, who will be the main source of goals, he's partnered with a Deep-Lying Forward. Due to only having one of our central midfielders supporting the attacks, the Deep-Lying forward will always try and ensure there's a
FM21 Best Tactics: MONSTER 4-3-3 Tactic - 94% Win Rate
The idea or main attacking principle of this tactic is pretty straightforward. I wanted the front 3 to be as close together. The IFs(a) and P will pin the defence back and this creates space in front of the defence line. This allows our creative players in midfield to advance into space so they can play make in dangerous zones feeding the front three. The attackers also force the AI to defend very narrowly and that's where the full-backs come in handy by being wide and supporting that area. Once

Italy's Sensational Attack: FM21 Tactics - Italy Tactical Analysis EURO2020
Italy started the match in a positive way by keeping possession and circulating the ball without being in a hurry even when they build up from defence. This precise and continuous circulation of the ball was one of Italy’s key tools to dominate the game and prevent Turkey from being dangerous.Italy spent most of the match with the ball (63%), and as a result, didn’t have too much defending to do. However, when they did set up in a defensive stance it looked very much like a lopsided 3-5-2, whic

SYSTEM OF PLAY: 4-3-3Zinedine Zidane has stuck relatively true to the exact same eleven that won him the 2019-20 La Liga title last season. A few injuries to the likes of Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal have forced them out of the side and allowed other players to come in, but Zidane has stuck by a very consistent set of fifteen or so players throughout the season. He has also stuck by his trusted 4-3-3 formation, which he has used throughout his career at Real Madrid but has experimented many ti

Paulo Fonseca - AS Roma - Tactical Analysis - FM21 Tactic
AS Roma are still far from the side they were many years ago, but they have enjoyed two of their better seasons over the last decade since Paulo Fonseca arrived at the club. The Portuguese manager came to Roma with a respectable reputation, having led Shakhar Donetsk to three league titles and a 74% win rate in his three seasons at the club. During his first season in charge at I Giallorossi, Fonseca led AS Roma to a fifth-place finish in Serie A – securing Europa League football for the team. R
Pochettino PSG Tactic - 4-2-3-1 Masterpiece
Although Mauricio Pochettino hasn't had the best start to life with PSG, much hope and promise for the future remain, given his early time in charge so far and the team's form in the UEFA Champions League.

Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea Possession Masterclass
Although Chelsea can’t quite seem to find the back of the net regularly enough, very few managers in Premier League history have had a better start to life than Thomas Tuchel. The Blues have won ten of their fourteen matches under Tuchel’s management in all competitions, keeping twelve clean sheets during that time.
