I also made these 2 tactics in fm, and for that one I had go with a 4-1 DM - 3 -1-1 with CR7 in AMCL position as a Shadow Striker and Bale as a Winger A. In Dm I have Alonso as DLP (D). Work well.
Great post dude. But I think you should make 2 tactics. This one and an other with counter mentality and drop deeper. The second one suit more against strong opponent like Bayern. If you watched the game, Real wasn't playing high all the game.
To retsinnab69: Ancelotti doesn't play 4231
Great post mate. Everything is said, now it's all about making it work in FM. I think that the hardest part will be when in possession. I find it hard to make TI so the team play quick attacking football along with a more probing attack when the opposition has man behind the ball.
Hope you'll...
So they played with 12 players? ahah
I'm actually trying something like Liverpool do irl, set up like:
Gk
WB(A) CD CD WB(A)
Regista
BTB AP
AM
F9 CF(A)
My problem is upfront, I don't get Suarez and Sturridge play well
First of all, you have to explain us what's going wrong.
But at first sight, you should put the AMC to a Support duty, or the winger.
And a question, why some players have their passing set to short (0)?
That's a thread for the 4231 in general, not for everybody posting their results withpoweriess's tactic, there's his own thread for that. This thread, in my opinion, should be on giving advice on how to make a 4231 work, or help people with it. Not just giving a link to download a tactic to...
Strandberg is great in that role! It's the first time I try him in midfield.
I want direct football, off course, but I don't want to be over dominated. So what you said isn't what I need in my opinion. Sorry. But I'll tried it to see what it does.
I'm actually trying to make a 4-2-3-1 with Real Sociedad. I'm trying to play one touch, quit direct, passing with a lot of movement. It's working well at the moment as I'm 2nd in the league and just went through the CL's group.
There are my results and the tactic:
I only bought...
Started a game recently with Real Sociedad. I had the opportunitie to add Benayoun to the team. I refused. Then 4 month later, he scored the first goal of FC Porto in the last game of CL's group stage against me.. But Xabi Prieto's goal allowed us to draw and go further in the CL
I used to play a 3-5-2 with Juventus so I can help a bit. I set the back three like this
BPD (D) BPD (C) BPD(D). And it works quite well. The cover one should be set on zonal marking. The 2 other as you wish. I never use OI so that it's up to you. And I played with a high defensive...
