I received a little in-game message through the mailing lists which I think everyone who reads this blog might appreciate. I'm not going to hog the credit on this one, so honourable mentions for Rui Pintos Xutos and Diogo Martins for their initiative of sharing this.
It's basically a sort of Rory Delap style of tactic, where you have one long throw cannon and a lot of movement around the box. Works a treat if you have the players for it.
Anyway, under Team Instructions, put Throw Ins on Long for both the right and the left side. The individual instructions (based on a 4-5-1, alter according to your own formation...) look like this...
WBR - Default in both
DC - Stay Back in both
DC - Stay Back in both
WBR - Default in both
DM - Go Forward in both
MRC - Right near post Left go forward
MLC - Left near post right go forwrd
AMR - Go forward both
AML - Go forward both
SC - Go forward
If it all works, it looks a little something like this.
As you can see, this leads to one player being isolated in the box, with plenty of time to control the ball and get a good shot or header off.
Gonna give this one a go with my Horton squad.
