I didn't think there would be. Atalanta just have a lot of old and rubbish defenders so I think it's more down to that!

Lazio are my favourite team in Italy so will start a new save with them as they also have a squad to suit this tactic. Both my keepers on my Atalanta save got injured as did my two first choice strikers and my best CB and as you're testing with a smaller team I'll abandon it and test with a...

Yeah using 4-3-3 Counter. I started using the tactic mid-save so don't have the depth of players I'd like and Atalanta don't have any decent defenders so most goals I concede are from set pieces or mistakes. I conceded four penalties in two games recently so that's not down to the tactic, I've...

Training defending set pieces seems to be working, drew with Roma 1-1 and beat Sampdoria 3-0. Although my last game was a 3-2 defeat at Inter where their first goal was a header from a free kick and their other two goals were penalties both conceded by the same player and they were also their...

Won my next game 3-1 away at Verona with their goal being another headed goal from a free kick. The amount of set pieces is borderline ridiculous now, I don't think it's down to the tactic though as I with Atalanta I haven't ever done as well as I'm doing with your tactic. Just the crappy ME I...

Got fm'd again, their goal from a set piece. One worrying thing is the amount of set pieces I conceded although FM is ***** this year so I think it's more down to that. Every keeper seems to have a blinder against me and my players can't seem to score open nets for three yards out.

Next 5 games. Two 1-0 wins against Modena in the cup and Parma, solid but nothing to right home about. Would have been more apart from my rubbish players missing loads of chances. Next game was Napoli away. Even game where I had the better chances but two more set pieces and a fluke cross...

I am :D

Beaten by a corner and 30 yards howitzer from Asamoah. They had no clear cut chances and aside from their goals, no other highlights. We had 2 CCC's and should have got at least a point, they had a lot of shots from distance but never really threatened so looking like a great tactic so far

First game with the new counter tactic. Got a few injuries so I had two 17 year olds in the starting line up. Currently 5th at the end of November so will test to the end of the season to see how high I can finish. Will be using only the counter tactic as my team isn't good enough to play...

I would also highly recommend German Denis as a DLF, he had a couple of injuries at the start of the season but since he's been fit he's been awesome. He is 32 but has a good couple of years in him and has good determination so he'll be great tutor. A young player called Tiziano Tulissi has come...

So, I never really play with bigger teams and I've been trying to create a similar 4-3-1-2 tactic, which are popular in Italy, with limited success. Have used Alligator as a back-up in other saves which is a great tactic so decided to give this a go and the results have been very good. I like...

Wowzers (H)

If these tactics aren't working for some people then they're doing it wrong. I'm currently second in the league, in the Spanish cup final and just beat Real 4-0 with a very young Celta Vigo team. The only thing I do differently is my own team talks but aside from that I'm following the...

Both tactics (1.2) are working fine for me with a very young Celta team, was using my own 4-2-3-1 Counter formation so was near enough fluid when I started. Started using at half time when 2-0 down in the Valencia game
