This is a fun possession based football coaching drill, that is somewhat like Tiki-taka, the style of play made famous by Barcelona. The players on the outside of the square and the one in the middle of the square have to keep possession away from the defenders in the square. The team with the ball get extra points if they can pass the ball to the golden player in the square or between the defenders. Rotate players often.

Good day all. Pls I need help on how to play possession football. I need tips as to training drills or schedules to use. I have exhausted everything when it comes to playing this way and can't seem to find an answer to it

I'm having hard time believing that you exhausted everything. Most of the threads on this forum are advise on how to play some kind of possession system. You are telling me you searched on here and couldn't find anything at all? Like @Cleon and @Experienced Defender both had some great advise on how to play this way. All you do is type possession and sigames in Google and you should get plenty of great threads from here.

Lower tempo, dribble less, shorter passing are a good start. Off the ball it's a good idea to press the opposition more urgently and playing with a higher defensive line and line of engagement will also help (but this could also hurt your chance creation and open you up to counter attacks if your players cannot sustain this press).

Thanks! I found myself learning and picking up a thing a two from the community and then putting it back into my own attempts. But maybe I think possession football has been overdone abit by us in FM20 I love playing with 4-3-3 and it's variants so naturally it's hard to move away from some kind of possession approach.

Seriously OP... if you return - I'm a newb and the googles directed me to loads of informative threads here or just scan the thread titles on the first 3 or 4 pages for a potluck of formation/training info. For me reading random threads and then leaving things for a while, so I kind of get foggy on the specifics but retain the essence has been most fun for me. And having real teams/managers/playing styles in mind helps a lot too (whether you want to straight up replicate something or use it for inspiration), as you try and match FM's take on which role best suits your 11 piece jigsaw puzzle.

Yeah, training is really important for developing attributes and developing team cohesion. Btw, I started an AC Milan save with a possession tactic. I will post some things in your Total Football thread when I have time.

Thanks @crusaderstar for your comment. I also looked up the thread given by @Cleon but it relates to fm 15. Now to what I meant when I said i had exhausted everything. I love possession football no doubt. Who wouldn't like it. I use a 4-3-3 formation. Player roles are sweeper keeper,two full backs, two ball playing defenders, dm plays deeplying playmaker, central midfielder and advanced playmaker, two inside forwards and a pressing striker or deeplying forward. When it comes to training schedule I use outfield, ball distribution, play out from the back, goalkeeper distribution, chance conversion and yet when it comes to matchday, I hardly keep the ball. Possession stats are almost even. Against big teams I rarely keep the ball. I might do that against small teams but not against big team. I also forgot to add. My team instructions are short passing, slow tempo, more discipline, play out from the back, counter press, pass to centre backs, goalkeeper short kicks, higher defensive line, higher line of engagement, press harder. I hope I don't bore you with my long discourse. I have also tried using possession schedule in training. I have used all types of combinations and still can't keep the ball. Maybe fm needs to put the retain possession team instruction as it was in previous fm editions

Those instructions and roles are all good for possession system but you have to remember that's it's not some kind of magical formula you put in and expect over 60% possession every time. There is still another team that's also playing football, and sometimes "gasp" also trying to win possession.

I remember a thread on here, I can't remember who created it, but the title was something like "possession with intent" and it was basically about what he did with the ball once he had it. Very rarely did he have 60% possession, but he was winning games.

Same here. I always try to achieve possession with intent or progressive possession. My ball numbers usually gravitate around 50%-55% unless I'm playing a really weak team. But I'm happy with that because we are still winning with style.
