We are trying to instil Fernando Diniz’s philosophies in Iceland on Football Manager 2024 with Þór Akureyri.
Limitations
In this section, we will discuss some of the alternative formations that we can employ and use within the framework we’ve set out at Þór Akureyri. We are also talking about their tactical implications for Football Manager 2024.
Without a doubt, this is the hardest part of this entire recreation. We will have to make compromises here. The three hardest factors to recreate will be:
Fluidity and interchangeability: Diniz’s “anti-positional” approach emphasises fluid movement and positional interchange among players. Capturing the exact level of fluidity and adaptability in the match engine might be difficult, as some roles and movements are more rigidly defined within the game.
Overloads and numerical superiority: Diniz’s tactics often involve creating overloads and numerical advantages in specific areas of the pitch. While Football Manager allows for some degree of tactical customisation, achieving the same level of localised superiority as seen in Diniz’s system may not always be possible.
Off-the-ball movement: Intelligent off-the-ball movement is a crucial aspect of Diniz’s style. Although you can instruct your players to make specific runs, the match engine might not fully capture the subtle and varied movements that characterise Fluminense’s play.
