Against the ball, the central midfielders then move into the defensive midfield, with the three center backs forming a strong block in the middle. The fullbacks also drop back into defense, leaving the opponents almost no space on the wings. We are very active in counter-pressing. Defenders repeatedly break away to help out against the ball.
I am very, very happy with this tactic. We play very dominantly in attack, often with 60-70 percent possession and a high xG value as well as many goals. Nevertheless, we do not neglect our defense. I look forward to your feedback!

Testing with Eintracht Frankfurt

I tested the tactic with BVB, Eintracht Frankfurt, ManCity, and Barcelona by going on vacation and letting the season simulate itself. I won the league with all of them, and the Champions League with ManCity and Barca. Eintracht and BVB were both eliminated in the semifinals.

Data with Barca

Expect high pass accuracy, relentless pressing, plenty of goals, and a rock-solid defense that gives the opponent almost no chances. Perfect for those who love possession-based domination with attacking full-backs.
