(POSSESSION TIPS) eFootball can still be beautiful :)

If there's anybody out there that plays Possession and doesn't want to rock the meta formations and tactics and wants to play fun football, I got some tactics to share if you'd like to try it out!

Above is two clips, both in D1 matches. First is using a 2900 team and the second using a full meta team.

I wanted to tinker with actual tactics to make the game fun. Inspired by Johan Cruyff's 3-4-3 Diamond, which Pep Guardiola later adopted a few times with Barcelona in 2011. This formation works on suffocating the midfield and maintaining constant passing routes in your opponent's half.

Let me preface that for this to work well, you MUST be very comfortable and patient on moving the ball and playing defense in transition. You WILL and CAN be susceptible to counter attacks.

3-4-3 Diamond

CBs: - Recommend one Destroyer - Fast, good on the ball, passing

DMFs: - Anchorman in center DMF (Destroyer like Vieira is good too but use defensive for instructions) - 2 Orchestrator DMFs (will be key to rotating the ball)

CMF: - B2B or Hole Player - B2B for more defense (my 2900 team uses it)

LWF: - Prolific or Roaming flank - to add width to attack

CF: - Any that suits you

SS: - Creative playmaker or Hole player - Used to compliment CF

Instructions: - Defensive on center DMF (if it's Destroyer) - Deep Line on one Orchestrator DMF (will drop to form a back 4. Other orchestrator will eventually drop too thus becoming a 4-2 on defense

Have fun :)
