I want to share for those having problem on tactics, roles, duty and training:
Guide to Football Manager 2012I think its valid for FM2011 as well... its not a definite win guide but some info or suggestion for you team.

Cared to advice?
I need to set my current tactics with sideline instruction 'Retain Possession' & 'Take More Risk' every start of the game in Pep Talk (with Overload).
Do you know which player instruction I need to change If I want both sideline instruction to be permanent in my tactics...
By applying those instructions, my team able to cope (draw/win) against big team. Better possesion and high chances on goal. Yellow card chances is high as well

since I believe its due to instruction 'take more risk'.
FYI, important player attribute based on their role & duty... the min is 8 points...
my current tactics (4-5-1):

Uploaded with ImageShack.usI assume you want to play the current Arsenal retaining, Manchester United's risk-taking type of football. Which team are you using? or which league are you playing...because there are two styles of playing
Picking one role to get the best out of a single star will not have the same effect as picking 11 roles to form a team unit. - quote from first post of the thread
To take more risk, u mean in daring to close down on players with hard tackles, or to put in more fabregas-scholes-like of long range passes with sudden counter?
Its actually a good tactic

to have 4 very high creative midfielders >15, >15 flair to fit into your tactic, on striker's instruction u should get them
forward more often, if you want a Brazil Ronaldo or Van Nistelrooy/Chicarito(must have decent >15 anticipation, off the ball with preferably acceleration and pace, if economical can slow striker like huntelaar) set a
poacher with closing down of 0 bar. - For Your ONLY striker in your formation (no trequarista - that is very rooney and they supply balls to others besides getting shots)
Lastly bec of the risks, defenders should close down at own area (not all the pitch) to avoid opponent's counter attack, defensive anchorman (ZONAL marking)
in tiki-taka, even though its played with tight marking, all players have free roles so it basically act like the zonal marking upgrade. which u can try.
thats my 2 cents
