Hey guys I'm attending to recreate the brazil 1970 world cup final side tactic in the latest version of FM.

This is what I have so far

Felix - Was basically a standard goalkeeper from what I can tell.
Carlos Alberto - Complete wing back in every sense of the word always got forward and attacked at will.
Brito - Pretty standard CD
Piazza - Probably more of the ball playing centre defender but not a fan of the FM role for that so he will be used as a CD.
Everaldo - Much more of a defense minded full back so full back on attack will suit.
Clodoaldo - The ball winning mid so pretty obvious what to choose and defend for me as it will provide more defense.
Gerson - The deep lying playmaker and support function a must.
Rivellino - This was a hard one for me but I've gone with a inside advanded playmaker with the PI to move into channels to hopefully get some width into his play.
Pele - Best shadow striker of all time
Tostao - Think false nine works best in the match engine
Jaizinho - Inside forward and set to attack of cause.

Team instructions

At the moment I have the following,
Retain Possession, Low tempo, Be more expressive and roam from position. I would love some feedback or advice on if you agree or disagree with this.

Mentality

I have gone with control however I know attacking is probably the more obvious choice however I think in FM control works better for myself.

Team Shape

Very fluid of course. Was there a more fluid team in the history of football? I don't think so.

So putting that into the game and using the current brazil squad gives the following

So now it is time to test and tweak and hopefully get some good results and play nice flowing old school brazilian football

Tactically, no I haven't, but that doesn't suit the players available to you at all, Neymar as false nine, Willian Shadow Striker, Ramires as a Ball Winner ... sounds like a disaster in waiting.

The shape of the tactic is really interesting though.

yeah sure I'll work out how to do that but it is quite basic to setup only four TI as per above

No worries if you can't. I will give it a try at some point. It's a good idea and i love the thought of recreating the Carlos Alberto/Pele/Rest of the team goal against Italy in the Final!!
