FM 24 SEBASTIAN HOENESS STUTTGART 2023 24

Hi guys, today I decided to recreate Sebastian Hoeness's Stuttgart 2023-24 season tactic. I finished 4th in Bundesliga. I played only Bundesliga games and skipped German Cup tactic. I will create this season 2024-2025 tactic soon, so please stay tuned.
A 4-4-2 formation can effectively replicate Sebastian Hoeneß's tactics with VfB Stuttgart in Football Manager 2024. Here's how to set it up, focusing on the tactical principles he employs:
Mentality: Positive (it may work also with attacking if you use stronger teams)
In possession
Fairly narrow attack width: the players stay compact, wider spaces will be occupied by the two wing-backs who overlaps
Play out of defense: Hoeness likes Stuttgart to patiently build the play, trick the opponent into press them and exploit the spaces
Overlap left and right: as said, overlaps are frequently used to create 2vs1 situations
Pass into space: searching for spaces and exploiting them is a key in Stuttgart’s playing style
Mixed crosses: Stuttgart often relies into crosses and due to the players’ different qualities, mixed crosses are the best choice.
Shorter passing directness: when the team builds the play from the back, players are very patient and want to maintain possession. If you want to have even more possession control, change to much shorter.
Slightly higher tempo: Stuttgart does not play with a very high tempo, players decide tempo according to the situation, therefore, I believe slightly higher is a good choice.
In transition
Counter-press: players apply pressure to win the ball back after losing possession as soon as possible
Counter: I did not select this option because once Stuttgart players are able to win the ball back, they can choose to launch a counterattack or to wait and build the play patiently according to the situation. Therefore, I let my players decide.
Slow pace down: once again, Hoeness wants his players to play slowly when they are in their half, and the keeper does it too.
Distribute to center backs and take short kicks: starting play from the defense
Out of possession
Mid-block: combined with a much higher defensive line allows our team to stay compact, restricting the spaces between the two lines that could be exploited by the opponent.
Much higher defensive line: as said above, it helps our team to gain compactness
Trigger press more often: pressing is very important in Hoeness’s tactics
Prevent short gk distribution: with two strikers, it becomes much easier to press the GK and force him to play long-balls that can be easily intercepted by our players
Trap outside: use the touchline as an additional defender and avoid the opponent players to create threats from the center
Stop crosses: stop the opponent to cross the ball to the center of the box avoiding potential threats
Thanks for watching

good tactic but don't you notice that the possession of the ball in this tactic is too little for Hoeness?

@@kasper8798 yes I noticed it too even if I gave possession based instructions they did not do very well in those stats
