The first one shows how the team defends. I’ve taken a few screen shots to illustrate how the tactic works. Here’s how they stand on the pitch, fairly compact, just as I like it )

You also have to know that there is no designated playmaker and no designated target man. Please note: there also are some individual player instructions set, mostly restricting their shooting from distance and tweaking their passing style.

The team instructions screen shot is fairly self-explanatory: fluid style, attacking strategy, short passing, lots of creative freedom, aggressive when it comes to pressing, the players are allowed to roam from their positions (especially the attacking trio), a fairly high defensive line. The full backs are also quite important on both ends as they will often support the attack and even move into the penalty area to score their own goals.įM 2013 Barcelona Tactic team instructions The two central midfielders are also very important as they will hold the team together on both ends of the pitch. The key element in this tactic is the trequartista, he’s the man who will have the most chances and probably score the most goals. The formation is fairly simple, a 4-3-3 involving a defensive midfielder and a pair on inside forwards. Let’s see how it works and, most important, what kind of results I was able to achieve with this FM 13 tactic. This tactic gave me good possession, plenty of chances each game and lots of sexy football to enjoy. Now I can say that the testing is (almost) over, and I’m happy to offer it to you for download. It seems I have finally managed to create a good Barcelona tactic for FM 2013, I’ve been testing and testing since the beta.
