So I have been playing Football Manager since the Championship Manager days, but never had amazing success.
I have always followed the big guides by FM Britain, but never ever managed to get my beloved Watford to the heights of Premiership champions. I have just graduated university so had a few months solid play of 2011 and now 2012, so I have had time to perfect my tactics and here is the way i have done this.
I haven’t been on FMBase long, but it has now taken centre stage in the FM Scene, so I am going to show my work and findings on here, just as a thank you to all the great information I have used from you wonderful users.
Well here goes:
I read a way of creating tactics on FMBritain, but this way never really picked up and it was forgotten after a short spell on the Forums, so I am here to resurrect it and have developed it in my own way.
It involves using the non-tactical data in the editor from your favourite manager and developing the stats into a tactic.
So as all of us out there long to re-create Guardiola’s tactics, so my first example is re-creating this.
So…
1. Open up the FM Editor (I used FM2011 editor, just because I cant find the FM2012 one )
2. Searched “Guardiola” in the “person” section
3. I copied the “Tactical Attributes” into the Excel Document that will be attached at the end.

That’s it, my excel document works out the tactic based on these figures. Use the managers preferred formation and that’s it!
Although it doesn’t show players individual instructions, if you use one of the “player role calculators” on FMBase you can find out the way each player should play!
The way the tactic is worked out is a simple VLookup table, located on sheet 2.
Attacking = Mentality
Depth = Defensive Line
Determination = Strategy
Directness = Passing
Dirtiness Allowance = Tackling
Flamboyancy = Creativity
Free Roles = Roaming
Marking = Marking Type
Offside = Offside Trap
Pressing = Closing Down
Sitting Back = Time Wasting
Tempo = Tempo
Use of Playmaker = Playmaker
Width = Width
+
Tendencies Tab in the "non-playing data" setion
Target Man
Counter Attack
My Findings
I created the Barcelona tactic, set the players to their preferred roles and set up set pieces and simmed the whole season.
I won the league, Super cup and Semi-Finals of Champions League
If i had played every game, i would have won more, but it was just for purposes of testing.
Heres the little Excel/Open Office File.
