The complete forward is an all-rounder with the technical, physical, and mental attributes of all the other attacking positions rolled into one. I also wanted another outlet where we can get goals from those opportunities. Doing so would create overload opportunities in the half-space areas for our players to exploit and create goalscoring chances from.Ĭomplete Forward (Support) whilst we have the pressing forward putting the pressure on up top. Playing with a much higher line of engagement I wanted the added pressure of the PF(s) to try and force mistakes from the opposition backline. Closing them down in particular in the wider areas to prevent the opposition from having much time on the ball. Pressing Forward (Support) will be used to put pressure on the opposition defence when they have possession. Inverted Winger (Support) the aim of this guy is to cut diagonally across the defence and look to play through the middle and overload the opposition defenders, also to create space wide for the full-backs who will at times look to overlap when the opportunity presents. If possible, it is better to play a player here who is right-foot dominant as the role will look to cut in from the left flank and run directly towards the heart of the opposition defence. Inside Forward (Support) will cut diagonally into the space occupied by the defence and play through balls to the chief attacking threat or look to shoot if the chance is available. He will also need to be physically fit as will be expected to get forward when possible and provide support to players in the final third of the pitch. Therefore, it is essential he has the tactical awareness and technical ability to carry that out. This position will be our link between defence and attack and will be expected to perform a variety of different tasks across the centre of the pitch, contributing to each phase of the game. Not only will he be responsible for our creative outlet he will also be responsible for contributing to our defensive phase also.Ĭentral Midfielder (Support) an important piece in the centre of the park. As a result, he will look to bring the ball from the defence and will link up well with the BPD(s) above. He will in chief operate in the space between defence and midfield and will be responsible for initiating attacking moves. This will provide a useful outlet of play to our Deep-lying Playmaker further up the field.ĭeep-lying Playmaker (Support) will be the main creative outlet of the side. The ball-playing defender is also encouraged to play through balls up the field. If they make it past him, then I am hopeful my other centre-half will sweep up. Whilst his main aim will be to defend, he is encouraged to push ahead of the defensive line to put pressure on the opposition threat before they get to the danger zone. By using the cover duty, I am looking for him to drop a little deeper to act as an emergency sweeping option to nullify any through balls behind the defensive line.īall-Playing Defender (Stopper) is the more creative outlet of the back pair. Keeping his composure under pressure to help win back possession or maintain it when in possession of the ball and lay off simple passes to the more creative players within the unit. With the two attacking wide threats cutting inward to force overloads this will create extra space out wide that I am looking for my full-backs to fill.Ĭentral Defender (Cover) with this guy I wanted a more defensive-minded player, that would read the game well. I am looking to overlap both flank areas with a view to crossing the ball towards the far post. There have however been some tweaks from the original which I believe has made it a much more balanced playing system both defensively and from an attacking point of view.įull Back (Support) I have instructed this position to get further forward when we have the ball. Die Maschine is a reworked and more finely tuned version of the original Energieball and as such will be a better fit for this tactic as it progresses moving forward.Īs per the 2020 iteration of Energieball we will continue forth with the 4-2-2-2 style of play which served us so well. This time round however Energieball v2.0 will be a tactic that will implement the Die Maschine philosophy I spoke about a few months back. There have been some changes that have been implemented to improve solidity and style of movement within the new version of the game. The consensus for this revamp is still very much the same in terms of how I want my team to play. With the first version of this philosophy, I had amazing success with Energie and turned them into the number one team in world football. Energieball v2.0 is based on a tactical philosophy I created for my Energie Cottbus save back on Football Manager 2020.
