Does this work for patch 10.3?

@ MrMc Tomato, Yes,ill upload them later today.

excelent tactic

i doesn't work. It says it can't find the program

wher do i download it to...

You need to download Winrar. Extract to Your name>Documents>Sports Interactive>FM2010>Tactics. If there isnt a tactics file there create one.

If your losing during the match change the Strategy to Overload for the last 15-20 minutes,and if your hanging on to a lead change to Contain for the last 15-20 minutes of the match.

I don't the link to download your tactic???

hope this works on my pompey team cos im in need of some results lol

how can i download?

nice one, just got my forest team promoted with it. cheers mate

Click the green download icon in the grey box where it says ads by google.

Cheers mate, just beat Tottenham with Arsenal 4-0 with this tactic.

i'll try it with my FC. Porto team

using it with man city and dominating with it scoring loads.I use the attacking tactic to start with home and away and just change during the match depending on the situation.well done yet again on yet more great work from you.

thx mate,,,i wish this tactic succes for my liverpool too,,,

Will there be a FM 2010 Pep Gardiola barca tactic

could you post a screenie please of your team instructions please as it wont download

Just installed this tactic into my porto team, the formation changes automatically, do the player instructions transfer automatically as well?

Fantastiic tactic. got promoted with qpr on my 1st season. beat man utd 2-1 away. currently 14th out of 29 matches

im liverpool 10 wins and 3 draws in league in 13 games 32 goals and 11 agaisnt : )

In the europe 4 wins 0 draws in 4 games. 10 goals and 4 against : P

Good Tactic

you can score very late goals with it. I scored in 90+5

@RKid, yes just install the tactic and everything is done for you.

Lost 6 out of my last 10 games with Basel. Didn't work for me..

Amazing tactic for me. I'm Leeds and I have'nt lost in 8!

Working not bad for me, unbeaten in about 11 with my Porto team. beat Barcelona 2-1 at Nou camp and won against Sporting at home 2 games later. Fans love me. Doesn't bring me too high scores but i find myself hard to score against

Didn't work for me with Arsenal. Won only three official matches until the middle of september and all the other results were 1-1 or 2-2 draws. Last game was against Chelsea at Emirates and I lost 0-5. Now 13th in the league. Couldn't get Fabregas to perform very well either. He should play probably in the AM position but then my coaching staff says that we would be better off playing him in his normal position. In the CM he's been outperformed by both Song and Veloso. I've tried different instructions for him but still not much. After the Chelsea game I made a new attempt at creating a tactic myself. First game was a cup game against Wolves, won it on penalties(Almuni saved three) although my players had hit the woodwork 8 times at close range

Hey JP, can u upload a screen shot of the team instructions for this tatic.

would if you made a 442 for new patch with wingers and lots of crosses ive tried all have been hit and misses

Tactic works Great but i have a serious issue
i can go up 3 or 4 goals and be far ahead of the team but then all of a sudden they just fire in 5 goals in the last 20 mins of the match and omg its so annoying any advice that i could do
I'm Watford by the way and doing well but suddenly omg they just scored LOADS !
i have tried replacing tired players but it certains aspects it makes it worse

Change mentality to contain.

I'm playing whit Aston Villa and i played just one match with this tactic and i've notice that
counter atacks are very good , but i wanna ask JP Woody if is necesarly to use offside trap and defensive line pushed up because the opponent beat the offside trap and created many oportunitis...

28 games 24 win 4 draws 0 losses 80 goals 25 against : )

28 games 24 win 4 draws 0 losses 80 goals 25 against : ) with liverpool

Torres 33 goals in 40 match

brill tactic.

i have problems with b munich, hope this tactic will work

Some dude called Navarone has stolen this tactic and is taking the credit.He's called it Navarones 4-2-3-1 (high score guarantee).

it works ok, but you seem to go on bad runs of draw win draw win, then lose 2 then back to draw win again. you let in quite alot of goals and i have a absolutly quality team. in my second game using this tactic i beat the mancs 8-0 at home, im in the 2015/16 season. have won the champions league twice, the league 3 times including one treble with liverpool. i suppose thats pretty good but jp your normally better than this lol. your kind of like my assistant manager. might try your guordiola tactic but will have to get a dm 1st. keep up the good work jp

This tactic is genius! I'm in my second season with harrogate in december and I'm top of BSP!

Made one little change which is taking the att/mid and partnering him upfront with the lone striker.

Cheers Wood mate!

Working very good.
change from 4231.............to 41212
it make more goal with the 41212.
try it now???

this is working pretty well so far, i just beat Chelsea for the first time in about 10 attempts. cheers

just a small little thing.. for the corners, if you put only one defender to challenge the keeper, it seems to work a bit better...

There are no corner exploit tactics this season if anyone hears of any let me know please.Yes its cheating but only a little bit

Great tactic! But I have a problem, i'm QPR and i score a lot, but I concede a lot...my defenders are SOL CAMPBELL and MAREK SUCHY, they are pretty solid defenders, i think...but i concede too much! I would appreciate some help please! Oh, and i put corners on far post, and set my two defenders to attack far post, they are scoring many goals!

hey im using arsenal with this tatic i am scoring a few goals but im losing lots of games not sure wat to do now a little help would be good

The tactic plays with a high line so look for CB's with good pace and concentration,also try turning FB's from automatic to support.

Hey JP
would this work with Man Utd
I have Hamsik and Fletcher in MF
Silva and Valencia
Then Rooney and Berbatov?
Thanks

Just a quick update, started with West Brom. Made a couple of changes (Deep lying playmaker suited my mildfielders so switched one of the midlfielders over and also changed the striker to advanced forward amongst other small things) Dubious start to the season but once it got going finished on 106 points with 97 goals!!

In the Prem now and sitting in 7th. Shipping almost as many goals as I'm scoring but 7th after 10 games is great.... Inconsistent though. Came back from 2-0 down after 54 mins to beat Man Utd at Old Trafford and then followed that with a 1-0 defeat at home to West Ham!!!

Still, thanks for the tactics.

very good tactic JP Woody i won the league 3 april : )

This is AWESOME!! Gerrard scored 6 goals against Everton!!

I hope it works with southampton..

AMAZING!

The attacking is amazing, but you push up the defensive line too much. Also, with your configuration, only the two CB's would be able to stop any fast strikers should there be a quick goal kick. The result would be amazing results in the first half, but terrible second halves (I'm talking 2-0 during halftime, and 2-5 full-time. Seriously, we conceded 5 goals in 45 min!)

I changed my FB to support, and change one of CM to BALL-WINNING, and it worked! I score many goals as before, but i concede less!

this is top well done JP
first game with my porto team with no signings and i won 5-0 away
made a slight change in making the central attackin mid to a second striker
just hope it carries on working

great JP
works fine for me

how can i take best of corners??

a know this has nout to do with tactics but how did you get the premier league 3d kits mate?

I don't know for you guys but when I play away from home I always beat with 2-0 . About corners Sakho 3 goals, Silva 2 , Nesta 2, Muniea 3 goasl I'm with AC Milan. and all tih in my last 12 games. btw Pirlo is crossing.

Thanks JP, great tatics, smacking it at the moment, thanks alot for all the hard work!!

Cheers JP, really appreciate you taking the time to create and upload these. Cheers.

This is brilliant, used it second game of my second Bolton season and it's taken me to 2nd, beating good teams like United and Arsenal and only just drew with Chelsea (our goal was ruled out ot win it). Now using it with Arsenal in a different save and things are going great.

any touchline instructions advice?

I'm about to start using the tactic with a lower league team (northampton town) and see how I get on...

Great tactic. Mixes both attacking and defensive options unlike my own tactic which was working great attack wise many games winning 4-2 5-3 etc but not as good as this for an all round result.

8 games 8 clean sheets 8 wins just beat liverpool 5-1 at the city of manchester.

Hats off to you JP from a fellow FM pro never been able to mix ultra attacking with a world class defensive record..

Ps il have to add a few screenshots to that record thread think i beat a few of yours :p.

Keep up the good work dude il be sure to follow your game story.

i must admit JP this is a wicked Tactic.. i downloaded it a while ago. and was using it with chelsea.. altered it a little.. brought the wingers down to midfield... moved one of the centres up to attacking mid.. and played with the buttons a button.. but its working Awesome dude

hay woody nice tactic though..... but i tried it with liverpool couple of games was superior when suddenly i was beaten 3-0 at home.... most of the goals was set by breakthrough ball or the something with offside trap.

need advise mate.

Tx

I always lose away and get loads of players sent off with this tactic

This formation is Epic! Started a game with man city using this, in december now and only lost once in all competitions and had 4 draws!! its amazing!!!!

this is ace! I'm topf ot the league with arsenal unbeaten in 13 games!!! Away games or really hard home games (champions lge, ManU etc) I always set tactics to counter and this seems to reduce the crazy amount of times my offside trap is beaten. i also tried this in my QPR game with poor results, it seems the key is haveing midfielders that can run up and down the pitch for 90 mins+, something which the R's just dont have... yet! Food for thought if using this tactic for LLM.

The files could not be imported what is the problem

This tactic didn't work with my team.
Sorry.

Can I move the two wingers to inside forwards? David Silva and Messi are the two players.

Its your game mate,give it a go.

Best tactic i have ever used, only thing i change though is the defensive line

im going to give this a try with my leeds team 1st season in the champ we aint doing gr8 after around 10 games we in the drop zone, the only key diff in formation is the attacking mid i have a DM on my current tactic

thnx dude, definetly will give it a try.

ive been trying a 4-3-2-1 with my mancity but didnt work quite well for me. ive been getting decent results but dont like how the team plays..

do you think it makes a big difference if players arent playin at their natural position but the accomplished ones?

thanks maan

With your tactic JP I won Serie A and reached to semi-finals in the Champions League with AC Milan. But Pirlo wasn't doing very well so I changed one of the box-to-box to Deep Lying Playmaker(Pirlo) and I trained Joao Moutinho to be a Deep Lying playmaker. The results are fantastic I won the champ's league 2 times Serie A 2 times European super cup and italian supercup 2 times. 2 times because I'm playing 2012-2013. Right now I'm first in Serie A and through the 1/4 finals in champions league. Awesome tactic. Oh, I forgot I got Pato and Paloschi upfront and I just play them in matches so they don't get tired. Pato has scored 29 goals from 34 games, Paloschi 17 from 20 games. Great tactic mate. You should continue with yur great work.

yo guys, just downloaded the tactic and got fm2010 last night, will be giving it a go tonight!
I'm villa, so think the 4-2-3-1 will work well.
any tips for getting started?

Winrar

Sorry to ask, but what program do I need to use in order to open the tacic (program) haven't got it on my current list.

hi jp what attributes would i need to look for in most of the positions? thanks

Hi,

I am trying this tactic with Everton on a new game. Only played a couple of friendlies against lesser teams but looking good so far. My team is:

GK - HOWARD
DR - NEILL / HEITENGA / NEVILLE
DL - BAINES
DC - YOBO
DC - DISTIN
MC - FELLAINI
MC - RODWELL
AMR - ARTETA / PIENAAR
AML - DI MARIA
AMC - CAHILL
FC - YAKUBU / JO

Made a couple of changes,

Setting the FBs to support and one of the MCs to deep lying playmaker (will have to make do with bilyadetinov / osman until arteta gets back) to give it a bit more balance.

Just thrashed Nottingham Forest 7-0!!! Looking good

this tactic is the best i beat OL with 5-0

So far in pre season with FC København (FC Copenhagen)
No new signings, except my usual staff bias (i like to max the training over new players first season).

Rijeka (cro) - FC København 1-5
Zagreb (cro) - FC København 1-4
Frem (1st div) - FC København 0-5
FC København - Standard Liége 2-1

Champions League Qual 2 1st leg:
FC København - Debrecen (Hungary) 3-0

Premier Division:
FC Nordsjælland - FC København 1-4

(Signed in Arnold Bruggink 1,3mill £) (sold Jesper Grønkjær 2,1mill £ (AC Milan))
Champions League Qual 2 2nd leg:
Debrecen - FC København 2-1 (3-5 on aggregate)
Blame the loss on selling Grønkjær the day before the match, and not being able to field in Arnold Bruggink (leaving me without a inner midfielder as Vingaard had to be moved to the wing).

Premier Division:
FC København - FC Midtjylland 4-1 (no goal by bruggink tho :p)

So far looking good, few defensive issues, but considering the goals are plenty full theres little to go for not just adjusting as fit.

oh Lineup:

GK: Jesper Christiansen
FBL: Oscar Wendt/Niclas Jensen
FBR: Zdenek Pospech
CD: Mikael Antonsson/Mathias Jørgensen
CD: Peter Larsson
MC: Hjalte Nørregaard
MC: Atiba Hutchinson/Thomas Delaney
AMR: William Kvist/Martin Vingaard
AMC: Arnold Bruggink/Martin Vingaard
AML Cesar Santin/Marting Vingaard
FC: Ailton/Dame N'Doye

I will give it a try ..

Doesn't work for me i play with club brugge.
my striker doesn't get any chances ..

JP Woody,

I can't find the download button here. Can you show me how? Thanks.

i have kept the formation but i changed the tactics a bit.
i use control instead of attacking. and i changed the full backs into a more attacking role. works much better for me. and i also use man marking.

@fachoul:Its big and green and says DOWNLOAD FILE!

I have fernando gago in my sunderland team, should i change his role to ball winning mid fielder/ deep lying play maker or leave it as box to box midfielder?

Just won treble with Leverkusen in 4th season JP this is a miracle tactic lol

good 555+

This tactic does work with patch 10.3. I have just done a season with Real Madrid and won the double losing in the quater final of the ch.league. Bear in mind that Madrid are a very fast team with some tall defenders though and that may be why it worked.

I can tell JP Woody is rather getting fed up on how to tell people to D/L the file , anyway this Tactic looks like it should suit my Hull City side

This tactic is pretty average with to many faults and pretty much a gung-ho all out attack

I was amazed you did not play with a sweeper keeper considering how high the defensive line plays and also the defending corners is shambles due to the zonal marking and no one defending the posts.

Also i think the wingers would play better as inside forwards to give the lone striker more support

Obviously works for some off you so it cant be that bad i just prefer more balanced formations and also not all tactics suit different teams

Amazing tactic just won the Champions League with Porto in the 1st season. Thank you!

good tactic.
all us boro fans know how to manage a football team lol.

shame southgate didnt tho

Teşekkürler.

JP , what patch is it for??

Demo lol. Still seems to work though.

Have you got sth for a ful, version without patch??

this tactic work for leeds?

Can someone upload a pic of what the tactic and instructions look like? Like a screen dump of it to see it?

Im in the process of making improvements to this tactc,it will say V1.1 when ive uploaded them so keep an eye out.

These are bloody amazing,it almost feels like cheating.Well done yet again JP.

downloaded the tactic on my chelsea save very pleased, after 8 games 7 wins and 1 draw away to CSKA moscow and a away win against arsenal. well done JP WOODY

Tactic has now been improved

it wont let me extract it

It doesn't work for me. It says download.php. So the tactic doesn't work for me.

Hi JP. First off, really nice tactic, tried a couple of different ones but I like this the most, even over your own other tactics! Only problem, if you can call it that, im having is my Striker just wont score! My AMC is doing fine picking up the strikers slack, is this just the way the tactic works, which is fine btw! Or should I change the strikers role abit or...Should i stop complaining about a clearly awesome tactic lol

Kossam: Im gutted......Honsest,if you cant download it thats your problem not mine,over 14 thousand other people have managed.Try changing your Internet explorer.

Jib: Stick with it mate,i find good all round strikers work best,good heading and finishing.If you change the tactic you will risk it not working.I used it with France and won the World Cup and Henry (my striker) got 10 goals in 9 qualifying games.Using with Boro now and O'Conner has 5 in 9,thats pretty good.

Might give this another go, especially as I have started to use the same formation on my current game.

gna use it with inter to see how it goes

Hey JP, downloaded the new version and my Striker has started scoring! Please never stop sharing your tactics!

HEY JP!

If I want to download the new tactic for 10.2, is it just so to download the file which is in the green box above! I´m a bit confused because it says on the file: september 2009 and at that time the new patch hasn´t been released? Or is it the right one with the new improvements....

//Nico

September 09 was the date in the game when i saved it,not the actual real life date.

played with everton and noticed that the lone striker is a little isolated whereas long shots kept coming from the central mids.

therefore, i changed one of the box to box mid's (marouanne fellaini) instructions a little, tuning the long shots to rarely and through balls to often. the poacher has also been changed to target man with attack duty and retrained tim cahill to play as a target man. worked very well for me, with the amount of long shots cut down and the striker became more involved in the team's attacks, setting up the midfielders and wingers to score while scoring some himself.

on the overall, this is a good attacking tactic (kudos to jp) and for people who are struggling to get their strikers to be involved, you guys can try what i did

Cheers cmh. Personally if im going to use Box to box Mfs i like to use 2,they work well together and you will notice thatt when one bombs forward the other will stay back.Im going to do more tests with the striker because its one position i feel could be improved to get the very best from him.Thanks for the test

anytime, jp.

after i started using ur tactic, my valencia has a 9 undefeated streak saves the season fpr me

Brilliant formation, Keep it up JP!

I'm gutted, this year, your tactics are shit. I'm stick with my own and your plight from football manager tactician continues.

hey jp woody will this win the prem with my chelsea team m8 only to new player ive got for chelsea is de rossi and srna m8

It should do.

@federico9. his tactics arent shit. im sure lots of people who have used it will agree with me as well. what team are you using and how many matches have you played which gave you the conclusion that this tactic is poor? or are you expecting instant success with it?

good job 3 games 3 Wins

@FEDERICO9: No offence mate but your a prat.The tactics work billiant for me.Even if they dont work for you is there any need to be so rude about it.JP is just trying to help people,its not as if the cost you anyting to download,what have you ever done to help anyone? Your a typical noob,take take take and give fuck all back.

jp wood this work great with chelsea just hammered liverpool 5-1 away its simply the best tactic ever and all this in my first season and am in the final of the carling cup top of the prem only 1 point do behind man utd still in the champions league the only bad thing this season is am out of the fa cup to west ham lol

and thanks jp for the tactics

@Anyone who attacked me. I used it with the same borough squad and did exactly as J.P says. SURPRISE IT DIDN'T WORK. Don't be so gullable and credit good fortune to someone who doesn't deserve it. And I don't submit tactics as I use different ones to combat different teams weakness. Needless to say after a poor season I went back to it.
If it works for you well done, you've made a medicore tactic work for you, and you should probably give J.P some advice. Not the other way around.

works awesome ...but one problem(i'm with Hoffenheim) my defence receive 16 goals in ten matches....vorsah and compper defender ....

JpWoody for Defending corners i would set this i never ever concede from corners

2 cbs mark tall player
2 side or full backs mark small player
both wingers one mark far post one mark near post
1 midfielder pref dm man mark

striker close down corner another mid close down corner

for attacking i get at least 25 goals each year from corners

u need a good corner taker about over 15 on corners

strong centre back must be brave and good headers
challenge keeper other cb attack from deep both strikers attack from deep 1 winger attack near post and set ur corners to 6 yard box

cm or dm or both lurk outside area

the trick is only have 1 player challenging keeper u get loads of goals

This is a great tactic and has revived my season, Green Army!

@gza-ob1 Thanks for the corner tactics,ill try the defensive ones,i dont really need the attacking ones as the current set up already gets about 30 goals a season and possibly more with a good corner taker and stron CB attacking the far post.

Very good tactics.

fantastic I won all games ...

Too many goals are scored against me. Have an ok defence (danish league standar)

Any one tweeked the defence and got i to work better??

Used this tactic in my first season with Real Madrid and it was ideal for a team of that standard, fast wingers, a tall centre back. Won the League and the cup in first season.
I don't recommend this tactic for lower league teams though.

bu benim galatasarayla fenerbahçeyi yenişim

what instructions you use for home and away?

my boro team are getting battered in the prem!!
