I'm working on a tactic which features high pressing up the pitch. I have handpicked the players with high work rate, stamina, and determination. How should I set my defence up to make sure it's watertight?
Greetings, fellow FM enthusiasts. On FM11, I shone with Aston Villa (http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/football-manager-2011-players/75016-aston-villa-2040-full-story.html) as shown there. I was using a 4-1-2-1-2 tactic which seemed to be the best tactic for destroying teams as I remember. Chelsea...
Raikan, I know you're a busy man, but I was wondering if you could direct me to a good tactic problem page, on FM Base of course ;-), where I can post my grievances with screenshots in order to get some good sensible FM13 advice.
I know I can play with two up top but my approach doesn't suit the side is all. My CB's would be dragged out of position by clever strikers if I set them to man mark surely?
This is the tactic in question. I know there's glaring flaws because it spurs possession through dribbling too much and crossing the ball but any help would be helpful. I don'tr want to resort back to my old safe boring tactic. I'm trying to be more flamboyant and play with attacking fullbacks.
I'm not blessed with many decent centre midfielders so will have to dip in the market. I'm not looking to replicate any tactic, I'm looking for a discussion on defensive set-ups, closing down styles & attacking movement.
Well here's where I finished. 4th season in I should be doing a lot better. On previous FM games I'd won the title in my 4th season. I shouldn't still be tinkering with a tactic this late into the game.
I'm fully aware that with my players running with the ball often, crossing often and...
I know a high line is very risky but with a fast backline playing the offside trap like I have it surely shouldn't be an issue. I think I'm going to have to tweak until I find the right defensive formula.
It's very frustrating to watch my team constantly lose. My players have seen have high work rate, stamina and are very fast so I thought closing down high up the pitch would pay dividends. My fullbacks should be aiding with that too. I used to play with just 1 striker and inside forwards with...
I'm having a nightmare with my tactics on FM12. The match engine seems to work out my strategy mid-season and I'm succumbing to consecutive defeats as a result. Here is my starting XI with player instructions:
GK: Stephane Ruffier
RB: Garry Bocaly
CB: Davide Astori
CB: Salvatore...
My tactic is currently: 4-5-1/4-3-3. Flatback 4 with wingbacks (attack) DMC (support) 2 CM's set to Attacking Midfield(attack) DLP (defend) Inside Forwards (attack) Advanced Forward. Fluid Control/Attack. Creative Freedom (little). No long long shots no runs with ball and through balls...

I was wondering how you edit the number of relegated/promoted teams from a domestic league eg. Blue Square North. I've tried everything but it won't allow me to untick the box. It's all greyed out.
