First off i wanna say thanks to Kevy Matts for Initially posting my Tactics on here as I'm normally a SI forums man and Rarely Venture over to other Forums, That said I've been very impressed with this forum not only in the Tactics department but Overall the Downloads and Help that you provide is Excellent so it's BIG :wub: From Mr Hough.
OK since now we have the **** Kissing out the way (K) We can move on the the reason your viewing this thread.
I decided to make a new Thread for my Latest Tactic (I hope the mods don't mind) because i thought that the original Wonder Thread was getting abit clogged and this way people can get to my latest one easy without asking a thousand Questions about which one is best and why.
Nike Defence and Theory Behind It
I had been getting alot of questions asking for advice about the defence in my tactics with people generally asking how it could be improved, After Thinking about it i decided to look into the defence and have a look at threads on defence and came across one on the SI forums called 'Park The Tank' which uses the Infamous 'Nike' defence system.
This thread had been around for a while and I'd looked at it a few times but really started looking into my defence and trying to implement the 'NIke' Defence into my tactics. Here is a screen shot of the 'Nike' defence System.
As you can see it Resembles the 'Nike' sign hence it's name the Nike Defence.
The way the defence works is that it employs the cover stopper system in a sense with the 2 central defenders 2 mentality clicks apart and then the Fullbacks being 2 Mentality Clicks away from the Highest Defender so it should look like this.
Keeper : 7
DC : Cover 6
DC : Stopper 8
Fullbacks : 10
DM CMD : 9
So that's the way it is set up, These aren't what I've used but a rough guide if you where gonna use this then you should look into it properly to get it **** on for your team.
Best Form Of Defence ATTACK
I haven't changed the Much in the attack just a few changes to the Tempo and the Creative Freedom.
The changes to the Tempo will Stop my players Dwelling on the Ball Especially if i don't have good passers in the team i don't want to be caught in possession in my Defence or midfield and then the Opposition counter and Score so a slight change here that makes everything move abit quicker.
The Creative Freedom changes are to the strikers only instead of Max they are on notch of normal which helps keep balance because they will listen to my Instructions instead of doing whatever they want.
Here is a screen shot of the Attack in motion.
As you can see from the Screen shot that the Attack is Pretty Effective.
So Basically that's the Principles of the tactic.
Success!
I have Tested this Final Version with 3 different Teams Arsenal Hull City and Blyth Spartans, So a Wide range of teams from lower league to Bottom Prem teams and Top Prem Teams
Here is a Screen from my First 10 Games with Blyth.
I had signed a few players all on Free Transfers but to go unbeaten in my first 10 games is Impressive.
Next up it's Arsenal and as you would Expect i not only won all my games but i dominated the Opposition Including a 5-1 win Over Man Utd 2-0 Over Liverpool and 3-1 Over Man City who where Unbeaten at the time and 1 point Behind me.
Finally Hull City and i Never expected what i saw with them and I can Geekily say I got extremely Excited when i seen the Results and Domination of some teams. On the Hull City save I Noticed alot of my players where Injured so I used FMRT just to make them Fit for the start of the season, I have never used it again at any time apart from right at the start of the Save. I Signed 1 Player aswell on Loan a DM player.
Here is the League Table with Hull City Remarkable.
Also here is the Fixture List from Hull City.
So that's the success i have had with this Latest tactic, It's not been tested over alot of time as you can see but i certainly know a good tactic when i see one that's why i have posted this latest Version so early.
