Diego Simeone - Atletico Madrid
(Tactic Released)
The Formation.
C. Atl
It's a basic 4-2-2.
Primarily I've focused on the defending aspect of the tactic, that was the key to Atletico's success last season.
Secondly I focused on Diego Costa's role as a Poacher with David Villa/Garcia's role as a 'False Target Man'.
The midfielders haven't been focused on that much but they seem to fit in to the tactic really well, with the wingers setting up a lot of chances and the centre mids keeping the teams shape it's working.
Individual Training.
Positional. (Train Raul Garcia as a ST)
C. Atl
Focus.
C. Atl

PPM's
Fullbacks - Runs with ball down flank, gets forward whenever possible, hugs touchline.
Wingers - Places shots, moves into channels.
Strikers - Places shots, plays short simple passes, tries first time shots, moves into channels.
Game types.
Bigger opponent - Switch mentality to counter or contain.
Similar opponent - Switch mentality to counter or leave as control.
Smaller opponent - Switch mentality to attacking or leave as control.
It's key that you switch the mentality at the right times, for example if you're playing well but not creating many switch to counter, if you're expected to lose switch to contain, You'll notice the difference when switching and it's vital you keep your eye on how the team are playing.
Once again this tactic is solely based on Atletico Madrid, I've spent a lot of time researching the style of play and implemented it into FM as best i can.
