Girona's Unique Asymmetric Tactics - FM24 Mobile

Tactics Below👇

Formation & Player Roles

At the top, we have Dovbyk as the Target Forward (TF), positioned to hold up the ball and bring others into play or finish scoring chances. Flanking him are Sávio and Tsygankov as Wingers (W), tasked with driving down the flanks and delivering crosses or cutting inside to shoot.

In midfield, Martín operates as a Roaming Playmaker (RP), moving around to orchestrate play, while Herrera serves as an Attacking Playmaker (AP), creating chances and supporting the striker. Aleix García sits deeper in the Anchor (A) role, stabilizing the midfield and breaking up opposition attacks.

Defensively, Gutiérrez is an Inverted Wing-Back (IWB) on the left, cutting inside to support the midfield, while Yan Couto plays as a more traditional Full-Back (FB) on the right. Blind takes up the role of a Libero (L), roaming behind the central defender, David López, to offer defensive cover and initiate play from the back.

Gazzaniga, in goal as a Sweeper Keeper (SK), is ready to clear balls behind the defensive line and participate in building from the back.

Tactical Instructions

The "Attacking" mentality chosen reflects a proactive approach, aiming to take the game to the opposition and create scoring opportunities. By setting the "Width" to "Wide," the team is instructed to use the full extent of the pitch, likely utilizing the touchlines to stretch the defense and create space in the middle.

A "Normal" tempo suggests a controlled approach to the game's pace, neither rushing the play nor slowing it down too much, but moving the ball with purpose. Lastly, "Balanced" creative freedom allows players to make decisions on the pitch without straying too far from the tactical plan, enabling both structured team play and individual flair.

Defensive Instructions 

The "High" defensive line setting indicates that Girona aims to defend further up the pitch, reducing the space for opponents to play in and supporting a high-pressing game. "Closing Down: All Over" suggests that Girona's players are expected to engage opponents and attempt to regain possession across the entire pitch, rather than sitting back and absorbing pressure.

Attacking Instructions

By selecting "Work Into Box," Girona shows a preference for controlled, thoughtful advancement into attacking areas, rather than hasty shots from distance. This patience allows them to draw defenders out and create dense areas in the box where they can capitalize on numerical advantages.

The "Early Crosses" option then comes into play, enabling Girona to whip in crosses at the opportune moment, aiming for the overloaded zone they've engineered through their build-up. This method of crossing isn't about sheer volume but rather about timing and exploiting the moments when the defense is most vulnerable.

The tactical focus on the right side, indicated by the "Passing Focus" set to "Right," suggests that Girona's right flank is a key area for launching attacks, perhaps utilizing a particularly skilled winger or full-back to beat opponents and deliver dangerous balls into the box.
