‘El loco’ 41221 Bielsa's tactic for Football Manager 2020 by RDF.
What's included in this bundle
- Two tactics. One will be your main tactics, the other named (LOE&Tempo), you can use when you come up against teams who will be very defensive minded.
- Two training schedules. One for when you have one match a week. The other is for when you have two matches a week.
The DM (Half Back) will be key in the build ups. When playing from deep, he will look to collect the pass (Dictate Tempo trait will be good) and play key passes into the the midfield. Bielsa is famous for his 3313 shape, and the DM movement will be key because he’ll need to slot into the defence to make it a back 3.
The two Wing Backs will be shaped with one of the central midfielders (the Central Midfielder on Defend duty) to make a midfield 3 whilst the other central midfielder (Ball Winning Midfielder) will look to be the 1 in the space between midfield and forwards.
The two wingers (Inverted Wingers) will look to come inside to connect with the striker making the a front 3. The wide men will be the main creators, they’ll need to have good dribbling, vision and flair.
The central striker (Complete Forward) will need the be able to do everything, he’ll roam from position to pick pockets. He will hold up the ball allowing other attack minded players to get up and support. Play key passes and create alongside having the ability to score goals.
There will be a lot of pressing which will start high up the field so players need to be fit and have good determination to keep on going.
Bielsa Tactic - Player Attribute Requirements
WGs - good at both attacking and defending. Pace, Stamina, Positioning, Off The Ball, Marking, Anticipation Work Rate and Decisions will be keyCBs - Good ball playing defenders. strong in the air, good at tackling and not too slow. Heading, Bravery, Strength, Balance, Positioning, Marking, Teamwork, Concentration and Decisions will be key
DM - your half back to be good at defending but also at playmaking. Passing, Teamwork, Decisions, Anticipation, Positioning, Stamina, First Touch, Composure and Bravery are all good attributes
Wingers - To have playmaking skills with Pace. Passing, Technique, Vision, Crossing, Anticipation, Composure, Decisions, Pace, Work Rate and Teamwork will be key
CMs - Both Box To Box type midfielders. Both to be okay at everything. Okay at Tackling, Passing. Must have good Work Rate, Team Work, Agility, Stamina, Decisions, Anticipation and Positioning/Off The Ball…Play your better defensive midfielder as the RCM
ST- Good all round striker, your CF will be moving into channels and also will be the one dropping deeper so should have good creating skills. Pace, Off The Ball, Teamwork, Anticipation, Decisions, Composure, Balance, Finishing, First Touch and Technique will be key.
I recommend building strong relationships on the pitch. Decisions, Teamwork, Work Rate and Anticipation should be important with all players.
Bielsa Tactic - Shouts
Only used shouts with midfielder. Told them to be creative, demand more or encourage depending on the situationBielsa Tactic - Tweaking Tips
- “Work Ball Into Box” can be added if taking too many risks in attack
- “Run At Defence” can be added to be a little more direct
- “Line Of Engagement” can be lowered to “Higher” to break down defensive teams
