The main philosophy is playing possession based football and controlling games. The team must have good passing pedigree to retain possession and pass their way into the game. Short passing, a lot of creative freedom and high pressing are the key features of a Brendan Rodger's team. Young talented fast attackers, Good midfield ball distribution and careful build up play from the defense!

My line up is as follows;
1. Goalkeeper; I use Mignolet and he is doing fine. Should obviously be trained as a Sweeper Keeper to build up his attributes for the role.
2. Central Defenders; I use Agger and Skrtel in these positions and use the Ball Playing Defender Role and the Defend Duty
3. Wing Backs; I use Enrique on the left and Johnson on the right, both in the Wing Back Role with Automatic Duty so that they drop back automatically to form the 4-2-3-1 when needed (hence why the tactic is a false 4-2-3-1)
4. Midfield; in the Midfield I use Lucas and Gerrard, playing as a Defensive Midfielder and Deep Lying Playmaker respectively, with the Defensive Midfielder set to Defend Duty and the Deep Lying Playmaker set to Support Duty
5. Inside Forwards; Both of the wide positions are based on the Inside Forward role set to Attack Duty, in these positions I play with Moses on the right and Suarez on the left, alternating with Luis Alberto and Raheem Sterling as backup/substitutes. Quite a few goals come from these positions with the player cutting inside.
6. Advance Playmaker; Naturally I have the wizard in this position which is of course Coutinho, he will be responsible for feeding the Poacher up front and passing like a boss. This position is Advanced Playmaker with Support Duty
7. Striker; In this position I play Daniel Sturridge who fits the bill perfectly with his Pace, Dribbling and Speed! He is of course set to Attack Duty
The Tactic is fully set up and can be tweaked to anything you feel is wrong/not right for your team. I haven't ever submitted a Tactic before, this is my first so sorry if my description is a it amateur sounding.

Make your choice wisely. It is no skin off my nose to lose a supposed "tactical genius" like you.
Look, I know that you consider yourself a wonderful "tactical genius" or whatever, but you have absolutely no right whatsoever to be commenting things like this on other people's tactics. And, from what I heard, it's certainly not the first time you've done this either.
Why do we have a Manager Stories section? So people can share their experience with the community. The same goes for tactics; when someone finds a tactic they really enjoy, they want to share it with the community and hopefully improve their games too.
Don't get me wrong, your tactics are good, no one can deny that, but do you really think posting immature and vastly incorrect comments such as "I sympathise you because you dont know a word about tactics" or "You are stucked on your dreamy childish play station fantasy" is going to make people like you?
And finally, these tactics don't have to be completely accurate compared to the real life version. Just because Rodgers sometimes plays a different formation means nothing, because at the end of the day, this is for improving someone's Football Manager game, not for improving their real life tactical knowledge.
Now, I suggest you either man up, or you shut up, because you're hardly winning any fans like this.
Clearly you see yourself as a master tactician then, all on a game, I bet you wouldn't last 5 mins in the real world. Shove your defensive Italian clubs, mid-table at bes in the premier league. I won't waste any more of my time replying to arrogant idiots who think they know everything.

So Liverpool have never played either a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-2-1?
There is an excellent tactic on here called "The Brendan Rodger's System" that uses both of the above formations, suppose that's FAKE too?
I think that the way the team plays with this tactic looks like a Brendan Rodger's team therefore I would call it that.
I don't sit around all day "Analysing" football. I do have a life aside from playing FM for a few hours, you should try doing it sometime.
Thanks for the positive comment.
Well done with the Bournemouth achievement
That sounds like a great idea but I haven't tried it, I may well give it a go and see what happens!
Thanks
I have a similar idea working well for my Bournemouth team. managed promotion to prem and not last so doing well after 4 seasons.
Thank you for that...wonderful....piece of information.
I barely understood a word of it, I have heard more sense from a 2 year old.
Just because Liverpool played a 3-4-1-2 then that makes my tactic FAKE?
Okay, cheers. I called this the season 13/14 tactic because I was making it based on this season, BR usually uses a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-2-1, so all I did with mine was push the 2 wingbacks up to create what looks like a 2-4-3-1.
Please, comment in English.
