I'm trying to create my own tactic in FM 2013 for a brand new game with Leeds Utd in the Championship. I've played FM for a few years but have always used other peoples tactics, I've decided to have a crack myself. From looking at the Leeds team it seems they don't have an awful lot of passing...

Thanks for the tip, I knew it wouldn't be the tactic as it's obviously brilliant looking at this thread.

I'm having almost no success with this tactic with my Huddersfield team. It's my 2nd season in the premier league so figured I'd try to push on for a champions league spot with this tactic. I've used it all pre season and had mixed results, I've used the OI instructions recommended in the...

I'm having some problems with this tactic at the moment, though I suspect it's related to personnel rather than the tactic. I'm playing as Notts County and am in my first season and I seem to be conceding a **** of a lot of goals. From watching the games, it seems opposition players are...

Not working out so well for me and my Aston Villa team for some reason... Getting savaged badly by any teams that are about equal to me or who are better than me. Tottenham hammered me 3-0 on the opening game of the season and since then I've only really recorded victories against lower table...

I play him as the right most forward of my 4-3-3 with Arsenal. Well, inside forward actually. He's smashes goals for fun for me, pretty much won me the Champions league final himself. He normally plays with RvP as complete forward and Arshavin as the left hand inside forward.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try the tweaks you suggested. I thought it was best that I played a high line in combination with a pressing tactic, otherwise I wouldn't be far enough up the pitch to press effectively but I can see pushing Song back a bit means I could defend a bit deeper. I'm...

Hey Guys, I've been coming here a fair while, mostly to shamelessly steal already polished tactics from the downloads section :P. Recently I decided to try and make my own tactic for my Arsenal team (I'm an Arsenal fan) that was both successful but also still showed some resemblance to the...

May as well add my two penneth. This tactic is awesome, I'm halfway through a season with Man City with a front 3 of Adebayor, Tevez and Bellamy with Gourcuff and Adam Johnson just behind them. I'm spanking everyone at the moment, simply great, Is there any way this tactic will remain as...

Looking for a tactic I can use with a newly promoted Leeds team. Last season I got promoted with a basic 4-4-2 and finished top of the league, mainly due to my players being good for the league though. The main problem is my defense, I conceded 55 goals last season, that's not going to cut it...

I have a question about my CB's duties. Is it plausible to set both my CB's to cover or one to defend and one to cover? Is this a good idea? It seems I concede alot of my goals from strikers getting in behind my CB's, latching on to through balls or crosses.

Ok, cheers for the response. More than a change of personnel I'm looking for a way to make a defensively tight team with a nice balance between attack and defence, which I can't seem to achieve, even when I download a tactic. I do plan on adding some signings myself but, as you all know, having...

One of my first posts in the forum, I'm relatively new to playing FM (Since 07) but have been an avid follower of football for a long time. (C'mon Gunners). Anyway, I started a new season with Arsenal but I'm having serious problems winning games against even the poorest teams. I can't find a...

A bit stuck as to what tactic to use for my Leeds team. I've developed a few tactics myself for other clubs that have been sort of successful but I'm finding it hard to make one that suits the Leeds players. It's my first season so I have all the default leeds players. In past games I've...
