short passing & players positions

[gohannie]

Uhm, logically short passing is adapted for formation attack through middle, and long for formation attack through flanks, I normaly go with these and only change to mixed if only my team aint doing good job after 1st half!

am planning to test it during Matches, bcz i think long is only for counter attacks
meanwhile i have a dilemma when it comes to passing short
my favorite formation to counter 442 is 32W212 attack through the mid the QS is dose shorting passing work here?
-----st----st
-------amc
----mc----mc
dml-----------dmr
----dc-dc-dc-

so my problems, is if i order my players to pass short, will they pass to the wing backs ? bcz i ordered them to attack from the mid, meaning if they insisted to pass through the mid am screwed bzc i will break the chain ,.. i see little difference switching between mix and short passing or attack central or mix

It has been prooved that short passing works well with formation with 1 attacking line (mc,Amc,ST), so i think short passing fits your 1 attacking line well! However, againts any crowded mids formation, shost passing certainly doesnt work (unless your players are far better than your rival mans), and we have to change to mixed passing for better result! This is my idea after quite a few examination.

On the other hand, sending dmr,dml up field will break your short passing style for sure, as you plan to attack through flanks as well. My choice is mixed passing for your case, wondering what others think bout this formation!

uhm, case solved if you remove red arrows from your wing backs, then red arrows on amc and maybe 2 STS with short passing will fit your team well 0-0
