Move Messi wide
The default formation and line-up places Lionel Messi as a centre forward. The problem with this is he doesn’t get involved in the build-up early enough. A player as good as Messi needs to get on the ball early and frequently. To achieve this, move him to the wing in place of Pedro. You can choose whether to keep Pedro as the forward man, or swap him for Fabregas.
Fabregas is the better passer, and has greater vision, meaning he can contribute more to the early stages of play, and is still a good finisher. Pedro is the better dribbler, and has five star weak foot ability, so might prove a more potent finisher.
As Barcelona are a team that operates better when playing possession football for long periods, I found Fabregas more effective than Pedro. You only want to start increasing the tempo in the final third of the pitch, and look for key passes into the penalty box or behind a high defensive line. The problem with hitting teams on the break is that counter-attacks tend to be effective from the wing, and defenders pile into the middle quickly, forcing either a cross, which Barcelona aren’t equipped for, or slowing down the break. |
