The Ultimate Football Manager Challenge

Can you win consistently without gegenpressing?

The Ultimate Football Manager Challenge

One of these days I’m going to go for this one.

A recent post on Reddit mentioned a challenge that I would consider to be the hardest to pull off in all of Football Manager. This would be successfully managing a side without using the gegenpress:

Now, this approach is not necessarily impossible. If you only prevented yourself from using various counterpressing strategies, you could still use a few favorable tactical settings to try to give your side an advantage. Signing young players with good pace and acceleration ratings would also still give you an advantage.

But it would be hard.

Have you ever tried a challenge like this?
