The tweaks aren't worth posting as new tactics - as I said the 4-2-3-1 I'm really unsure about and the control version I use is literally just the same tactic with the mentality changed and the "Mark Specific Player" instruction removed from the wider forwards (and occasionally "Retain...
Just beat Leicester 9-0 using the control mentality with "retain possession" ticked. We created 8(!) clear-cut chances and 11 half chances. Hazard as the AMCL had 10 key passes which is by far the highest I've seen in this iteration of FM so far.
Tactic is going from strength to strength for...
Just beat Man U 6-1 in the second season with this using Liverpool so figured it was about time I posted saying how great it was! I'm unbeaten in all competitions going into November 2017 and have beaten City and Chelsea by 3 or 4 goals already. It's brilliant to watch.
To be fair the squad is...
I've been playing with your tactic (with Liverpool) and I found the first season the man-marking was essential, but second season with a world class squad it seems to hinder my own attacking as much as anything. I keep the man-marking against the top 4 or 5 teams but now I remove it against...
It's not dreadful at all, my (heavily changed) Leicester side are absolutely flying using it in season 2. Scoring goals for fun.
Completely disagreed about the football played too, I think it's fantastic! The wing back is an assist monster and I love the way the DM sprays the ball around (I've...
Any chance you could share your tweak please? Or just the player instructions. I've been looking for a tactic based around classic wing play and crosses rather than cutting inside, tried tweaking this one myself without much success!
Thanks in advance!
Works fantastically for me tweaked to a normal 4-2-3-1 - i.e. the two RPMs moved to the central midfield slots, the CM-A moved forward to the CAM/#10 position (I changed his role to AM-A but kept all of the player instructions the same).
Admittedly I have a world class team so I can't say it's...
The game I struggled the most with was Liverpool with their new formation. Then again, every tactic I have tried thus far has struggled to cope with that set-up. I still beat them 3-1 at Anfield, it was 5-5 on clear cut chances though so could have gone either way.
Generally though it doesn't...
By "insane amounts" I mean Harry Kane (early in season 2 so he's good but far from world class) has scored 10 in 3 as the F9 for me. El Shaarawy (who AC Milan sold to me for £11 million as he has barely developed, so again, good but faaaar from world class compared to many strikers you can get...
So I've tried three times to post detailed feedback but the board keeps refusing to allow my post, saying it has too many URLs or banned words even though it has neither of the above :S
Long story short, I think this has a lot of potential. Going forward it is class, the False 9 scores insane...
I'd like to test this as the shape looks very interesting.
But I can't load the tactic - for some reason my game just doesn't recognise the file, I'm not sure why.
I tried recreating it manually from the screenshots, but I'm missing some information to do that. So, a couple of questions:
1...
Forgot to mention, I've actually been using it on "Attacking" home and away from the start - best form of defence and all that. Nearly finished the first season of using the tactic, still top of the league by miles. Will let you know how it gets on in the Championship! Thanks again.
This tactic is unbelievably effective!
Media prediction was 21st, but with this tactic I am dominating the league. I use the "retain possession", "hassle opponents" and "play wider" shouts. The football is a lot, lot better than the name of the tactic suggests, and it's pretty rare for me to...
I have recently been using this 4-2-3-1 (the classic version, not sure about the wizard version)...
