Sensational 4-3-3 Tiki-Taka | 26,000+ Passes & 64% Possession | Best FM21 Tactics

This FM21 tika-taka tactic is influenced by Pep Guardiola & Xavi Hernandez. Pep Guardiola, who claims his Barca side never used tiki-taka, has been associated with this style of play since the beginning of his managerial career. He loved to create overloads on one side of the pitch to then exploit the weakened side. And that theory is one I will attempt to use for my FM21 tiki-taka tactic. This FM21 tactic has been tested with two teams and I analyse the tactic in the video.

*Thank you to Eric Laurie for allowing me to use his 4-3-3 tactical principles. DON'T FORGET TO HIT LIKE! Also can send your tactic recommendations in the comments*

[@DiogoGaming2]

You should make a tactic based in the vertical tikitaka now, inspired by Sarris Napoli! Loved the video man, love your job here in youtube and in twitter. Keep going ;)

[@jacksonre-young]

The striker wont score goal

[@Azza.10]

When Pep said he never played Tiki Taka, he meant it as in not just playing quick passes for the sake of it. His style is postional play

[@RDFTactics]

👌🏾

[@henriquereis7480]

This tatic is insane. Won the tremble on my first season on Sporting CP with a lot of goals. Great job

[@alexbowles5216]

Great tactic! Tiki taka tactics are my favourite, the panneton tiki taka tactic you showcased a little while back has been my favourite for a while! Looking forward to trying this one out

[@RDFTactics]

Good stuff! That Panneton tactic was crazy lol I still use it from time to time

[@lefleurdps7336]

Amazing RDF, love your passion ! Just keep doing what you love. One thing you could do is showing some in game actions you liked or some great highlights :)

[@luislamarosa9681]

I'd love to see you breakdown the tactics used by Jorge Jesus in Benfica this season, especially the 3-4-3 system that he´s been implementing in the second half of the season. Great video mate, keep up the great work

[@RDFTactics]

I'll check it out!

[@MrGBags66]

Great vid RDF! I have had great success using a strange formation with 2 forwards and 1 IW/IF as my front 3. And a DLP SoVol and WP for my midfield. However, I think the AI has got used to it and I now need to change the tactic. I will look at this one but try to keep the way I have the front 3. Maybe a DLF in the middle with an AF on the right and the IW on the left. I'm hoping the DLF can feed both AF and IW from his central position.

[@Mooselovessushi]

im into my second season in a spurs save and played a similar tactic however i copied with the two tweaks of an advanced forward instead of a DLF and the DLP was set to defend and only gave my team one day with it before a match against Barca which all the media said we would lose, they still have the likes of Messi. we won 3-0 and they only had two shots, neither on target with an xG around 0.10. thank you so much!!

[@leemonk384]

I'm only in pre-season (season 2) but this is looking like the best (non-exploitish) tactic I've used. The football is incredible!

[@filipecoutinho8226]

Good job 👍👍 Please make a Hernan Crespo tactic... looks amazing

@@RDFTactics No worries mate it was good and thank you for the mention!

[@Ash-jd9tb]

Nailed it bro

[@ThFile]

The most important thing in attack on Pep Barça were the two wide wingers touching the sideline to make space for the centre diamond and so Messi had more space. This created a dilema between the opposing defensive line, and the wide wingers made behind runs. If fullbacks have the task of creating width they aren’t as constant as wingers, because they have a more deep defensive duty. Maybe you did this for the videogame, but that’s a crucial part on positional play, and one of the reasons of Barcelona’s latest years poor performance and system with horrendous coaches. The width must come from the wingers

[@oliverward-murphy890]

It’s interesting to see more and more tactics using more urgent pressing. I have always used extremely urgent

[@jacoblenton8796]

Obviously rdf will know better but I'd imagine it's to create the pressing traps on either sideline

[@eriksivertsen8381]

Awesome video yet again :) How does this compare to the Pep and Xavi tactics? Better? More goals etc?

[@jimmynich4791]

I don't think Pep does use Tika-taka, tika-taka is fast paced, short, one touch passing, Pep's teams play at a more varied pace with more crosses but it's similar in that it's all about possession.

[@InaMichaelJana]

Hello RDF, I love the Tiki Taka tactic. Great video even if I don't understand a lot as my English is very poor. Which player characteristics are required for the positions and which are nice to have? Because I'm a little perfectionist. ;) Great Stuff, make my day....

[@DoYouEvenRift]

You need good passing, vision, off the ball, flair, decisions, teamwork, work rate

[@UnknownUser-yw2ks]

Do you have any suggestions for opposing team instructions for this tactic?

[@Paul-yy1qh]

[@wfhabuser9466]

hey buddy good video, but what is "close down more"? cant find that anywhere

[@DANIMAL_GG]

Have you considered making player filters for this tactic?

[@matthewtaylor2309]

What other role up top would u recommend?

[@greenlantern4991]

just watch this yesterday. i use the training that u make. and suddenly my team win by 10-0 which i never reached it before this. my team have, haaland, ansu fati, messi, dejong,pedri, nico, nuno mendes, eric garcia, araujo, dest and donnarumma

[@davidcaddle1307]

I'm guessing your IW are scoring a lot because you've set your WBs to spam crosses to the far post. Good tactic. I like defensive solidarity. Can you show the full league table so we can see goals conceded next time?

[@omaralcoptan5440]

Which tactical style to use?? wing play or control possession

[@jordanwhibley7482]

Hey RDF where can I download your Pep training?!

[@jimmynich4791]

I usually use 4-3-3, usually with 1dm and 2cm. I noticed AMC struggle in FM21 that's why I don't use 4-2-3-1. A lot depends on the players whatever you use though.

[@DoYouEvenRift]

Same, I came here bcuz every tactic I tried with an AMC or two AMs they just are shit every game

[@samuelrfds9877]

great tactic, in my Wolfsburg it fit like a glove, only my players give 20 shots to score 1 goal but little by little it gets better. Thank you very much !!!!

[@michabiak7710]

it will be only worst man. No balance=losing goals, no people to attack=no goals

[@HuhKirin]

great vid but why automatic duty instead of just supp?

[@RDFTactics]

With support, they come with "get further forward" which we can't remove. The reason I didn't want that instruction is because when we build up, they're too advanced but want them to be a little deeper to be involved in the play

[@simonlato9230]

Could you do a Brazilian Samba tactic?

[@denga6614]

I have a question can you play without a striker and still win game and if so how. great video buy the way

yes

For sure!

How do you close down more on this?

Vertical tiki-taka next?

[@danwilliams256]

Works brilliantly for keeping the ball, but I'm struggling to score with this. I've got a front three of Richarlison on the left, Calvert Lewin in the middle and Demir on the right and finding goals hard to come by. Any tips?

I am having the same issue

[@danwilliams256]

@@jayevans819 sorry I haven't been playing my Everton save. But in my Dortmund one I may have found a fix that I'm going to try. Which is have my wide players on stay wider and then in the middle have a Box to Box and Central Midfielder attack and oh my God has it been brilliant. My biggest test so far was against RB Leipzig and I beat them 3-1

LOL OMG, worst thing is, it started out as a García Pimienta recreation, the Barca B coach lol but I couldn't get it to work so I tweaked a few things and what I learnt from my Xavi/Pep videos, I used with this tactic

I think of a unique recommendation: Create Barca tactic which works well without Messi and still use Barca's current squad🤣

[@_Bonka_]

create VN tactic is the most unique recommendation after all

[@adoptionally5220]

same cant find it

[@oliverward-murphy890]

If the pressing urgency team instruction is on standard, you can increase it for individual players. You can then just change the team instruction back. I don’t know if it changes anything though, it might

[@uranderson]

@@oliverward-murphy890 Brilliant thanks.

[@Islamiccontent346]

Why cant i set one of my defenders to do shorter passing?

[@kieranwilson1466]

You might have already figured this out but go into your in possession settings on your tactic and change the teams passing directness to the highest value or the value below that, then you can change it and it will keep the changes even when you go back to the passing directness you want

The fact you played a whole season and got relegated whilst using one tactic tell us everyone we need to know… Please, don’t come here to spread hate or whatever you are attempting to do. Nobody downloads a tactic, plays and gets relegated. Furthermore, this tactic was under heavy testing. Meaning, it was tested with the lowest secure clubs and always overachieved.

@@RDFTactics good for who?? how can U put 5 support , 2 auto and only one attack roles to positive mentality? are u kidding me? did u here about balance? who will score goals if no one is responsible for this? This tactic is made ONLY for possesion the ball. Nothinh else. U will keep the ball just for keeping it. Thats all. This is not made for scoring goals and winning trophys. U have 2 the same wings. No balance at all. And u try tell people that it works after only one season on holiday. It funny. U nedd system of play and at least 3 tactics to win trophys in todays FM. After 2 seasons of useing only one tactic AI will exactly know what u gonna do and even bottoms teams will kick your ass. With such not balanced tactic u can play on mobile version. ANd another thing is intensity of tactic+your traning(pep or ticitaca, whatever) = HOSPITAL!!!
