In Possession

First off, Spurs start off plays from behind, which rarely goes directly from, except against tougher teams. While playing from behind, the central-halves, Van de Ven and Romero will drop close to the goalkeeper, inside the 18-yard box. Udogie and Porro will tuck inside at the flanks, to overload the central areas with Bissouma. Sarr will stay wide at the right flank as a partial right fullback. In some cases, Udogie and Porro will stay wide at the flanks, while Bissouma and Sarr form double pivots above the box – this is the type of build-up that can be achieved in FM24.

In the approach play, Tottenham can focus on plays either through the middle of the field or down the flanks of the pitch. The passing directness is shorter to control possession mainly, at standard tempo, to build up transition a little quicker or patiently do that. Furthermore, Postecoglou gives the creative players the freedom to be more expressive. As they approach the final third, Tottenham will prioritize underlaps on both sides of the field.

In Transition

The attacking width is wide. While in transition, the centre defenders, Van de Ven and Romero will push higher up, above the halfway line. Udogie and Porro will be extra central midfielders with Bissouma, by tucking inside – this forces Maddison will drift a little wider towards the left flank. Sarr will stay wide at the right flank as a partial right fullback. Richarlison and Kulusevski will stay wider at the flanks. Son will lead the attacking lines. In some cases, Sarr will be the extra midfielder, with Bissouma, while Porro becomes the right fullback. In the final third, Spurs will patiently work the ball into the box often.

Also in transition, if Postecoglou’s men lose the ball in the opposition’s half, they counterpress to win back possession quickly. The goalkeeper, Vicario will distribute the ball quickly, by rolling out the ball often.

Out Of Possession

In the defensive phase, the defenders will stay compact, forcing the opponents outside than inside. The defenders will also step up the defensive line, to compress the opponent’s half. The fullbacks will try to close down crosses from the opponents.

In defensive situations, they can defend in a 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 shape. They will press opponents higher, at a more often pressing intensity, with a higher line of engagement and the defensive line will also be higher – Spurs will also press to close down goalkeeper’s distributions but not all the time.
