    teams are flat as 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 3-4-3, 5-3-2, etc. .. just do not use the DMC or AML / C / R? in these cases, then I should put short passes, no Fource counterattacks and no Play offside trap. Other orders then you believe are right?


    thank you very much dv8r!!!

    That is correct, it's best to use short passing with formations without DM or AM players. And for 4-4-2, you should be using down both flanks with it as well.

    Hi dv8r, I often agree with you on most things but do you have any experience/knowledge to support this?

    I play the 4-5-1V with short passing and I always get above 80% passes completed.

    Flat formations are best used with the short passing, I don't understand why but it does work for me. For me, short passing for 4-5-1 v does not work as effectively as mixed passing. A former user, Adel Gamal also said the same thing and justified his reasons for saying it but the thread is gone now so I can't retrieve it.

    I assumed short passing wouldn't work with teams using 4-3-3, 4-5-1 flat, 4-4-2 because there is no link between DC and CM and ST.

    I just go by his judgement because he's very experienced. I have tested short passing with attacking tactics involving AML/AMR and the passes are usually cut out, change to mixed and we scored more.

    Ohhhhh, I don't play attacking unless I need a goal. When I go attacking, I change to mixed to pick up the tempo
