Young Devils – Recreating Bielsa’s 3-3-1-3 Tactic in FM20

Young Devils – Recreating Bielsa’s 3-3-1-3 Tactic in FM20

Recreating Bielsa’s 3-3-1-3 tactic has always been my football manager dream. I had some success in previous years but the tactics never worked exactly as planned.

Yet the game feels more professional and realistic. Let me explain!

Counter-attacking slickly in FM19

What a surprise, huh? I’m used to describing my possession tactics every week; now I’ll tell you about counter-attacking slickly in FM19. Strangely, my WBA side is still set up to control possession patiently. However, there are a few alterations, which have made the passing style slightly more mixed. Obviously, I will explain this in the article below! Hamburg 1-5 West Bromwich Albion I did not expect to concede 56% of the ball in this game. I also didn’t expect…
