No, I used your tactic in another save, managed to make 82 points and the best defence. I posted a reply to your ”This is Catenaccio” post.

I followed your idea with 3 players in the centre and it worked better than my previous tactics involving a libero/sweeper. Also, I was wrong before putting the AP with a support duty, and for the first time I used a simple Central Midfielder with great succes. I won 13 games with 1 - 0, and I...

these were my main 3 ideas, considering the players I have at my disposal. I am thinking of giving a shot to your tactics with 3 central midfielders. I would give up buying Andre Ayew, although I have been a fan of Ayew brothers.

You got to be kiddin! How can you score 46 goals and still win the Championship?! :) It looks great. I have always been attracted by a defensive line using WBs and a libero, although when I played like that, the libero always had lower grades than the 2 CBs. And I like more the way Brasil played...

I forgot to post the screen shot with Tottenham lying on 1st position, you will have to take my word for it. :D

Hello! Whether you support the Spurs like I do, or any other team, after many hours playing FM (too many according to too many :) ) I finally managed to win the Premier League, and I thought of showing off a bit. First of all, I have to say I am a bit of a cheater, because I am currently...

I cannot make any suggestions concerning the attack, i have never played with Real Madrid, but the best defence I managed to pull this far goes like this: 2 fullbacks (set on defend or support, depends on how hard the opposition is; never let them on default) 1 CB set on cover duty (mentality...

Having a player with ”Creativity - 19” and ”Passing - 16”, and play him anything else than BBM or AP is a waste. That guy has nothing to do with BWM, check his tackling, he is lower than average from this point of view. Does Carroll develop so well?!? Wow!!

Tottenham is a perfect choice. You do not win everything easy, as you would do if you would play with Barcelona, which would be boring, but you also have high chances to do well in a competitive league. Playing with Spurs, never missed the 4th place, and the runner-up was my best so far. Don”t...

Thanks guys, for your responses. I must say, I never tried to play with 3 CBs in line, with different roles, I might give it a shot. Also, using 3 CM sounds interesting, but using a BWM and a defensive one, plus 3 CBs looks a bit too defensive for my taste. :)

Why in the name of Lord would you sell tour best players?! :O Yttegart Jenssen looks fantastic, I”ve tried him with 3 different teams in FM2012, including Spurs, but if I do remember right, he is a little short on long shots, and that was always an issue.

TJDO7 has a point, sometimes the best transfers you make are in the staff area. Don”t ignore the coaches attributes.

Try Gylfi Sigurdsson, that guy can play anywhere on the pitch, and he quickly adapts to any new position. No matter I plyed him for Spurs or Barcelona, he always tops the list of assists. Matias Fernandez has always been one of my favourites and he is never too expensive.

Well, the wingbacks are not what you may call full-time defenders, particularly when you play them with support duty. So the 5-3-2 could be a little misleading. In your 3-5-2 system, what roles did you have for the 5 midfielders? And the 3 defenders were all CB”s?
