Invincible - Gegenpress - Attacking 4-1-4-1

4-1-4-1 Gegenpress Klopp-ish Style - See Screenshots for details and league standings.


This tactic works as of the latest patch!

This tactic has worked wonders for 3 different teams: Liverpool, Leicester and Atlanta.

High win%, low loss%, many undefeated seasons have been had across all 3 teams/saves.

It's a 4-1-4-1 tactic (or 4-3-3 or 4-1-2-2-1) based on the Gegenpress style.

I tried to emulate Liverpool's real life play although my tactic results in slightly less possession and more directness in attack.

Because of the style of play, your players will get tired fairly often so rotation is key. The complete wing-backs are of course key for this tactic and they do get very tired often so make sure you look for someone with high stamina, and sub often (rotate in easier games - my wing-backs played about 25 league games each).

I also changed the default individual instructions as you will see in the tactic. I do advise to adjust these based on your players and who plays in each game (although it should work fine as is).

As seen in the screenshots, the tactic can function with either a DLF or PF.

This is NOT a high possession tactic (average 50%ish).
This is also NOT a very high scoring tactic (ie: you will likely not smash teams), however you will have a solid defense and score plenty of goals across the team. You will also conceed very few goals (see screenshots)

In my last save with Atlanta, I am sitting at the top of the Seria A despite my strikers underperforming severly (Zapata with 6 goals and Muriel with 6). See screenshots with more details.
