Professor's Plan B | PYRAMID

Inspired by Johan Cruijff's Total Football with FC Barcelona and Ajax, however remade with the requirements of modern football and the needs of an underdog team.

Welling United was chosen to be the team that this tactic is tested with and gained 5 straight promotions with 3 championships in lower tiers of the English pyramid.

Did not stay in any league and competed with at least 5 times the budgets and against all odds to travel from muddy ends of Vanarama South to the top of English Football, the Premier League.

Important to notice that you will concede many goals with this tactic, but your team will always score more than the opponent.

When it comes to the squad selection in centre backs, it is crucial to choose defenders with good aerial ability to prevent cross-related goals, good passing skills & vision for their ball-playing defender abilities, and lastly good positioning to concede less on counter attacks, on wingers crossing ability is crucial as this tactic heavily relies on crosses and talk strikers for its goals, as mentioned the strikers must have good heading and aerial reach abilities to score high crosses.

When it comes to the rest of the positions, if the players can match the level of the competition, it should be a smooth ride.

Embrace yourselves for 2-3 heavy losses over the first 5 years, but also get ready for massive wins.
