I am not good at English because I am Korean. Even though English is not my first language, the speed of explanation is easy to understand. Thank you for making a good video. It helped me a lot.

[dannymorton]

Oh my word you keep making videos that I didn’t even know I wanted. PLEASE make this a series for several common formations! This is amazing!

[davidgosden]

This is honestly some of the best FM content, it's so clearly explained and with good examples, keep up the excellent work.

[mustermannfm]

4-3-3 is such a glorious formation for this. Wonderfully explained.

[Razor]

absurd, that's exactly what I needed for my current career😂

[abedfo]

Just applied this to my tactic with three strikers to fit my personnel better. an AF imitating the IF a CF(s) the winger. Changing the midfield two to carrilero and a mezalla seems to have unlocked the potential i thought the formation had!

[Stoplying]

Great input! Keep up the good work mate.. Mezala + winger is my fav combo.. It's deadly

[drewism]

Wow! This was so good. Whenever I feel like I have had enough of the game there is a timely video by yourself that makes it look so easy and I just have to jump back in 😂

[OffSonic]

I’m so glad my very first FM ever I have resources like this channel to learn from, great content bro 😎

[TeanJodibo]

Amazing video once again. I really can't put to words how much I love your videos and how you make them.
The fact that you actually test your principles without instructions is so insane to me but it helps me understand so much even on topics that I already know.

Thanks so much man❤

This video helped me win the FA Trophy with a national south team against a national league team that finished in a playoff position.

I used a 442 with a box to box midfielder at LCM with the stay wider instruction next to a deep lying playmaker on defend at RCM. An inverted winger on attack at LM and the RM as a winger on support. LB was a wingback on support and RB was an inverted wingback on attack. LS was a pressing forward with roam from position instruction and RS was an advanced forward.

I was 3-0 up but they got 2 late goals.

It was a great season because I also won the national south because of your possession video.

And I want to say your videos and page, made me love football manager more and have more idea about tactics in and off the game. Thank you

[Sprite]

What a great video! I love the series you have put together. It has made me consider roles and tweaks that I otherwise wouldn't have.

[wezarxmenar]

I have been waiting for this!
I made this suggestion many videos ago, very happy with the video, extremely useful information.

[Flexium_GG]

One of your best videos yet, the bar just keeps going higher and higher!!

[jokerforever]

Good job bro! I don't play FM but I like to watch videos like this.

[wiuwiu]

thank you, finally I can understand tactics well please make more of this

[LukeC-dvqh]

my favourite formation lets go!!!

youve helped me with your videos how to understand how create space and how static roles and roles with movement etc combine, great content man!.

[DanBryanWrites]

Your production quality is so good man! Great stuff

[lukaszprotas]

I love the concept of the video. You explain things clearly and progress with details smoothly. Concept of thinking about space instead of goals is explained well. I love that.

What I do not like (and it is the first thing I do not like in the video on this channel) is that in this video protecting space in transition is neglected (maybe it was intentional to focus only on attacking movements?). And it is because (in my opinion) of very controversial player roles selection.

There is no player who is responsible for providing cover in the midfield. In the 12th min clip there is no one occupying space in the middle before penalty box. Pass to IWB should be intercepted, which create plenty of space to run for opposing striker through the middle. Selected tactic (player roles) is very half space oriented. IWB and CAR both work in half spaces. HB is dropping deep. There is no one in the middle who can collect second ball and/or close down opponent to prevent counter attack.

Also, IWB [a] may run into space occupying by MEZ[a]. IWB on support for me is more intuitive and safer option. Which raise the problem of role selection for left fullback. FB [a/s] may be ok, or just choose IFB and change HB to DLP/DM [d]. DLP/DM should works well with IWB [s] in providing cover. DLP may also benefit from IF + MEZ forward runs to send killer passes.

Anyway, I may disagree on tactical choices, but concept of the video and the simplicity of explaining core problem in football is superb. I would love to see more detailed videos dedicated to understanding space. :) <3
