    My best tactic for FM14

    Alright, after 25 games or so with my save, it's time to report back with some results. As some of you might have known from my previous post, decided to take Internazionale back to European glory and so far it's been fairly successful. Top of the Serie A with a point clear above Milan and...

    My best tactic for FM14

    After reading rave reviews with the thread having over 58 pages, I'll give it a run for my first ever FM14 save with Inter! Wish me luck!

    Deep 4-4-2 Counter Tactic: Huge Underdog Success (Patch 14.1.4)

    Alas, just got my copy of FM14 and can't wait to fire it up after work! I'm a huge fan of your Arrigo Sacchi tactic for FM13. ****, it got me back-to-back promotions with lowly Varnamo in Sweden though. Unfortunately, I couldn't be bothered enough to continue that save as FM14 just came out...

    Arrigo Sacchi's 4-4-2: High Pressure, Attacking Tactic for Top Teams and Underdogs

    jiggyjimmy Hey mate, haven't played the classic but I'll try and help as much as I can. Where are you playing RvP and Rooney? I'd suggest having Rooney as the CF and RvP as the ADF. This way, IMO Rooney acts as a supplier to RvP. Also, have you tried interacting with them post games? For...

    [13.3.3] Fantastic 3-6-1 - Literally, the best tactic for FM13. [Possession/CCCs]

    Mate, don't mean to be rude I think with a little bit of reading/searching from the guides on team-talks/morale/training here you'd be off to a good start. Play the game your way instead of having others 'play' it for you. However, I'll give you a good headstart. Sports Interactive Community...

    Arrigo Sacchi's 4-4-2: High Pressure, Attacking Tactic for Top Teams and Underdogs

    Spot on! It's not gonna give you that '50-game-unbeaten-streak' right off the bat but what it promises is consistency and once every variable of the game is settled (Morale, form, quality and luck), you might just get that winning streak or even better. I think for those who are still...

    Arrigo Sacchi's 4-4-2: High Pressure, Attacking Tactic for Top Teams and Underdogs

    Hey man, it's not weird, it's just that some leagues are harder. I've played England (Arsenal), Spain (Valencia), France (Monaco/PSG), Germany (Wolfsburg/HSV) and it was mixed but when you finally get the right players in on for the second season, it'll take off. Having said that, first season...

    Arrigo Sacchi's 4-4-2: High Pressure, Attacking Tactic for Top Teams and Underdogs

    Congrats mate! Brilliant results and good job turning Hazard, though ideally I think he'd struggle to score with finishing that low but it worked for you so screw that!

    Arrigo Sacchi's 4-4-2: High Pressure, Attacking Tactic for Top Teams and Underdogs

    Hey mate, just checked out the link. I doubt that's Sean's version. It's probably a remake of the same philosophy by another user. Though no harm trying it to compare. :)

    Arrigo Sacchi's 4-4-2: High Pressure, Attacking Tactic for Top Teams and Underdogs

    I agree with most of what being said here. Just to add on, it's a good idea to have the players with the right stats in the position. However, you won't always get a perfect eleven in any club so, from my experiences, building from the Midfield is a smart way to start. After all, most of the...

    Arrigo Sacchi's 4-4-2: High Pressure, Attacking Tactic for Top Teams and Underdogs

    The foundation and ideals in this tactic is great. It'll work with almost any team as long as they're determined and has great work rate. I wouldn't tweak it as you go along because of the point above. For you to make the most out of it is a matter of picking the right players for the positions...

    Arrigo Sacchi's 4-4-2: High Pressure, Attacking Tactic for Top Teams and Underdogs

    OI seems a bit of a grey area for me and partly because I never trust my Assistant not matter how good he is to handle tactical decisions. I've tried it before though and it seemed to nullify the tactic way bit but on the odd occasion, it happens to work well so it's a bit mixed for me. I'd...

    Mr Langvatn's Tactic Thread (Updated for 13.3.3)

    Hello Mr Langvatn, Keen to try out your tactics here after reading through some of the brilliant feedback. I'm in my second season with Wolfsburg and I've just built a good squad based on a 442 formation. What would you suggest? Many thanks for reading.
