How to Create a Hybrid Tactic in FM24

[@RogerRoids]

I am from 1000 years in the future. I have learned all I can from The Deep Lying Playmaker and am now the galaxy's number one Football Manager player. Thank you Sensei.

[@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker]

Has Haaland retired yet??? Or is he still terrorizing the Premier League 🤣🤣

[@bugsam]

Tell me friend, has FM 25 been released yet?

[@RogerRoids]

Damn... I can't say I was expecting something specific, but this would not have been on my bingo card. I love it. Very few content creators go outside the box (roaming, if you will, lol) and give us something like this. Very helpful and well done. I can't wait to see the next one.

[@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker]

this comment is lovely, thank you for the support :) I thought it'd be a pretty fun idea for a video haha

[@gavelkind7506]

Adding to this, if you want to avoid the opponent exploiting your defensively weaker side and want to funnel them more down the defensively strong one, consider having the Complete Forward and Raumdeuter mark the opposing Center Back and Full Back respectively.

[@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker]

excellent tactical addition!! that would be super effective... wish I thought of it 🤣🤣

[@VurtAddicted]

@gavelkind7506 I literally just suggested the raumdeuter thing answering another post ahahhahahah. The CF can also mark a DM if the CD is not a treat 😉

[@DarkHorseFM2023]

The insanity in this 4-4-2 tactic makes me fall in love with Football Manager all over again.

[@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker]

it's a lot of fun to watch play out!! and hey if these videos help create the love that's awesome haha

This is some of the most difficult tactics to make for me but thx to this video I have master the hybrid tactics which i have a 433 one side freedom of movement and the other possession Goes to a 433 to a 316 (also is inspire by michel girona 23/24) thx for the help DLP once again for another banger 🙌

[@mustermannfm]

The oblique phalanx!! Such a wonderful idea.

[@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker]

that's a much cooler name than my "hybrid tactic" haha

[@mustermannfm]

@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker A previously lopsided-to-the-left tactic needed a name, once sent me down a rabbit hole that include the Battle of Leuctra between Thebes & Sparta and their use of a withdrawn flank. Which was later coined by a Greek historian as the "oblique phalanx". I know nothing of military history other than it's ability to give names for FM tactics.

[@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker]

hey you never know what kinda tacitc comes out of a little experimentation ;)

[@DarkHorseFM2023]

“If you’re strong everywhere, you’re weak everywhere.” This is the perfect description. And I love it. But what if the opponent decides to attack down our right flank?👀

[@VurtAddicted]

@DarkHorseFM2023 using a very similar formation since a while, I can answer you: if your opponent is strong on the right, you can put your left am (the raumdeuter in this case) man marking tight the opponent fb/wb. You can also balance a bit more the back four switching the two CDs.

[@gabrielvazamorim4465]

Use ois to force then to the left

[@thebel-boy13]

Hey DLP. Just wanted to say that the 'Press with Player Roles' video isn't in the 'Tactics' Playlist. Just thought you should know. Keep up the great work!

that's awesome!!! what tactic/formation you running??? I hope you're using a Deep Lying Playmaker in it 🤣🤣

[@blakele3686]

@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker 4-2-3-1 , my double pivots are combination of DLP of course and DM or BWM, most of the time one of them will take more risk, AM in behind PF , and one of wingers will take attack role and the other will do defense. But not always I get results

[@blakele3686]

@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker yes, I pair him with a DM, BWM or VOL. An inverted wing-back, AM sits behind PF and one of the wingers will play aggressive and try to score, the other will take less risk. I lost 2 games in Europa League but in Eredivisie, still a good run so far

[@ThreeRunHomer]

One note: there are always team instructions. When they don’t appear in the list, it just means the team instruction is a medium setting.

[@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker]

great point... I should be careful saying "no team instructions" since they do have the default setting 👍

[@Keyboard_Warrior_X]

I think the acronym for wide target forward should be wtf 🙂

[@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker]

WTF is the perfect acronym haha

[@quanguctranngo7871]

1 more idea: we set up base on opposition and calculate to get at least 1 player becomes free runner with lots of space. for instance: if AI use 4-2-3-1 with 2 DM and 2 IW on attack (DM being a safe playing roles, like DLP on sup and anchor or something). If they use IFB on the right and a wingback on the left. I will use a IW sup on the right, tucking in central area, push righ back fb attack, paired with a CAM playing support AP, I can tie up the 2 DMs and their left back with the right winger and attacking mid, giving space for my right back to confuse their left wing. Further chaos could be created if I use Regista paired with anchor, and IW on attack on the left to pin their RB in place. With that set up, I got my regista and right full back on attack free spaces to wreck havoc while a back 3 (left IFB included) and anchor provide defensive cover.

[@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker]

love the breakdown!! And I love the regista/anchor pairing... I need to give them a shot together

[@quanguctranngo7871]

@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker initially I thought of using halfback instead for rb defensive cover. But thinking that the mid will open to a direct right iw and AMC assault, I when with the current option

[@westay4924]

Its quite an interesting concept, but if your attacking side is nullified (lets say a team has a better defensive right hand side) then does that make your tactics ineffective until a change? Also I have my keeper set to short passes and have all the instructions set to it. Yet I keep seeing him hoof it, any tips? Love your videos mate!

[@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker]

It is a danger for sure, and probably the biggest counter to this style. But the idea of having the left side "positionally free" (so to speak) is to have them figure out how to break down a difficult defensive side. As far as your keeper, what's the position your using, Goalkeeper or Sweeper? and if the sweeper, what role? And you mentioned the team instructions, you've got "play out of defense" and "distribute to center backs" ticked on? Sadly sometimes the goalie will do that on his own... I think I specifically mentioned it in a video a while back because it was annoying me. 😂😂

[@sk_1724]

It's illegal to be this early!

[@tobs7003]

Indeed

[@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker]

and I'm not even a morning person haha

[@landol12]

i just changing the pressing forward from def duty to supp duty, roaming playmaker i change to mezzala, the complete wing back to the inverted wing back to cover the mezzala, and libero to the ball playing defender to play more fluid 😂

[@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker]

Good call with the Inverted Wing Back. A great combination with the Mezzala

[@ionawiener5206]

Is it possible to make a tactic that really heavily focuses on one side of the pitch? Like a 4231 but with the striker offset to the right, the 10 in the rightmost slot and the two holding midfielders in the right and centre spots? I’ve tried it but I can’t seem to get it to work

[@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker]

It's for sure possible, just have to get the player roles right. If you want it to focus on one side of the formation, you can do a similar idea to what I did in this one. Have playmaker(s) and attacking roles on one side, and then use the other side with more passive roles that want to play it safer.

[@VurtAddicted]

Slowly but surely, I see you moving towards asymmetrical and multi-playmaker 😂😂😂😂

[@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker]

Today: a 442 with offset wingers and one playmaker A year from now: a formation with 8 attackers and 7 playmakers 🤣🤣

[@VurtAddicted]

@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker ahahahahah well, this tactic was really very similar to the one I used most in FM24. I just had the roaming pm as CM, and instead of the Pressing Forward, a Trequartista at AM position. Great video anyway. I am looking forward to seeing what you will explore after the roles series. You can help the FM world in so many ways; really, nobody explains the game like you do

That stuff is one the way! But maybe not in the immediate future haha. Doing some random one-off videos that I wanted to get around to before I dive into more "series" style roles :)

[@martincvikl5321]

Your left wing is wayy to open.

[@Naren25]

I'm not sure it is. There is a solid 2-2 block in rest defence, and the playmaker will often sit slightly in front of the DMs. That means there are three players able to peel off towards the left flank and slow down counterattacks while the complete wing back sprints back into position. The flanks certainly could be a weakness to exploit though accurate long balls given the narrow defence, but I don't think it's a huge problem. If you were very concerned, a solution could be to swap the libero to a ball playing defender with the "stay wider" instruction and roaming playmaker to a deep lying playmaker on defend. That would make a 3-2-5 shape in attack giving a wider rest defence.

[@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker]

One of the dangers of playing with a Raumdeuter and a Complete Wing Back on the same side!

[@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker]

@@Naren25This is one of those where I created a tactic specifically for the video to show how to create two separate styles. I agree with the Libero/CB role; I'd probably change it to a backline of CD/CD/IFB to give me a back three if this was more of a "normal" approach to a tactic But I liked the Libero to show the separation of a side with more static roles versus a side with a lot of movement. And great analysis :)

[@VurtAddicted]

@martincvikl5321 it is not. I won everything possible with a very similar tactic, is was actually exactly the same on the flanks. If the opponent has a very offensive fb/wb, just man mark him tight with the raumdeuter

[@gokalpozyurt2562]
