[Venice Sassone]

Myfirst thought would be that you're too risk-averse using a Balanced Mentality in combination with only two Attack duties. You then also use Work Ball Into Box, Shorter Passing and Lower Tempo, all of which ask your team to play in an even more considerate manner. Could be hard to carve teams open without any risk-taking, especially since most of them will be parking the bus against PSG.

Cavani and Icardi both have Like To Beat Offside Trap, so will lack variety of movement up top. When safely transitioning and pushing defences back you'll reduce the space behind for that type of attacker. That same issue will affect Mbappe in the 433. This is why I think you see "a long shot or the game is shifted to the wings and there are pointless flanks".

You've taken a lot of the instructions out of the template that makes it more attacking and change the movement patterns. Combine the personnel issues and the slow play it doesn't really fit together. Everyone be careful but then the front 3 all trying to run in behind and take lots of risks when theres no space unless you create it except on the flanks.

What would I change? Well I think the forwards require a more vertical quick style, attacking when entering the final third rather than safely getting the ball into the final third then trying to create something when there's no space behind them. I'd start with a higher mentality initially, then maybe also remove some of those TI's. I'd change Herrera to a BBM rather than MEZ, there's already players making runs in the same areas. Not sure about DLP-Su + HB-De which keeps 2 of your 3 midfielders behind the ball most of the time (Hold Position) which is typically to allow FBs to get forward but it sounds like you don't want to have too many crosses so i'd prefer to give more freedom to another midfielder and have a FB cover more and keep things simple.

Yep, because Its vertical tiki taka - many supporting players and a more balanced mentality - to keep possession - but thats not my primary target - possession is good but it should played "faster" also more vertical style

Underlap increases the mentality of the FBs (to increase there risk taking to get more advanced) and decreases wide forwards mentality (to make them more patient for the runs). Focus Play increases the mentality of the players in that area. Thats what increases the risk taking of that template even though its on Balanced. It gets deeper players forward to join into attack and gives time for central players to attack. If you don't want to force those specific patterns so much then you don't have to use those instructions, but what are you replacing them with? A faster/direct/riskier style to make use of those attack duties up front?

Depends what the rest of the setup is and what is expected of him. Could make him a CM-Su and customise with PIs so he doesn't drop so much to collect but can still try risky passes often, though Verratti has that trait so would try often anyways without the PI. Maybe AP-Su or AP-At if really want to focus play though him and have him move to collect the ball more.

This setup of roles and duties is almost identical to my narrow diamond at Man Utd (with just a couple of exceptions). On the other hand, Instructions - including the mentality - are pretty much different. I think that for a top team like PSG, your tactic is very conservative and thus relatively easy for the opposition - which in most cases will play very defensively against you - to defend.

The first thing I would change is swap Herrera's and Verratti's respective roles - I would play Herrera as the DLP and Verratti as the mezzala. Because Herrera is defensively more reliable than Verratti and hence better suited for a holding midfielder role, whereas Verratti is likely to pose more of a threat in the final third.

In terms of in-possession instructions, I would definitely remove lower tempo and instead use standard (default), and sometimes even higher (to confuse opposition defenses by quickly moving the ball around).

In transition, I would definitely remove both instructions regarding GK distribution. You already play out of defence, so there is no reason to specifically instruct the keeper how he should distribute the ball and to whom. Let him pick the best (or safest) possible option in any given situation (especially as you play him in a SK role).

Counter is okay, and I like to use it as an extra attacking weapon when (if) an opportunity presents itself (though that will not be the case too often when you are a top team playing mostly against defensive opposition).

However, when it comes to the Counter-press, I would be cautious in a system such as narrow diamond because the system is inherently vulnerable on the flanks, which means the opposition can exploit that space to beat your CP.

But just one more thing before that... You use 2 PM roles - DLP and TQ. I personally tend to avoid having more than one (although a DLP/TQ combo makes a lot more sense than DLP/AP). If you want to use a TQ - which btw suits Neymar pretty well - then perhaps you may want to change the DLP to a carrilero. Alternatively, you can keep the DLP but change the TQ to AM on attack. However, this particular tweak may not be necessary, so take it just as an idea for consideration.

Extremely urgent pressing is the first one I would immediately remove (especially if you up the mentality from Balanced to Positive). Not only because it tends to compromise your defensive shape - PSG might be good enough to get along with such kind of risk - but also because you need to encourage these ultra-defensive opponents to get out of their defensive shell and at least try to attack you (in the hope that it will create some space behind and between their lines that you can take advantage of). With such an aggressive pressing as extremely urgent you are only forcing them even more into being extremely defensive. Instead, my preference is always to leave the team pressing urgency on default and instead employ the split-block (in this case with 4 players involved).

For the same reason, you can also experiment with the LOE, switching it between higher and standard. Sometimes it will work as a way to draw the opposition out of shape, sometimes not, but can serve as an option anyway.

If you're trying to play a Vertical Tiki Taka style in particular I would say that you've removed the most important in possession team instructions for that style. From what I've understood VTT focuses on creating central overloads to allow your team to outnumber the opposition in this area and therefore more the ball forwards effectively, through combination play and wall passes. Therefore from my perspective a 'narrow or very narrow' attacking width and 'focus play through the middle' would be the essential options in creating this central overload especially with formations that have more players stationed out wide, which is the TIs you have removed. For me, your tactics are more inclined to wing play, which may be why your experiencing so many crosses. You have 2 wingbacks on either side who have PIs to run with the ball and cross often, aswell as a halfback which reduces the amount of players in central midfield as he drops deeper and pushes your centre backs wider which would increase the connection to your fullbacks and encourage the ball that way. Even though you do have WBiB to reduce crosses to be fair.

This is just the way I see it and without actually watching your team in the ME its hard to know if I'm right but that's how I see it. You can make your team more vertical in other ways like increasing the mentality as suggested above, so there's many ways to achieve the same thing
