In my current Chelsea game, I use 2 different tactics. One for home games, one for away games.
For the home tactic, my mentality is attacking, just 2 notches away from all out attack, quick tempo, wide, normal passing, push up defending. And I have specific individual instructions for each player. If a player can dribble, I'll let him dribble often. If he can cross, I'll let him cross often. Unless he's a central defender. And direct passing for central defenders, short passing for midfielders, etc.
For my away tactic, my mentality is normal, slow tempo, direct passing, deep defending. And I play with counter-attacking when I'm away. The above about specific player instructions still apply.
And 26 games into the season, my Chelsea team is still unbeaten.
