I'm expecting my DLP/S to control the game. And yes, the CF/S (tried also F9) drop deep to the AM/C position but i'm not sure if that's deep enough or not. What i know for 100% is that i haven't created one through ball to my SS behind the opposition's defense which is very frustrating.

Dude, i get it. No need to get all touchy, it's just a game discussion on an online forum. The midfielders are the ones who's supposed to recycle possession so i took your advice and changed my AP/S to a DP/S but what the **** am i supposed to do with my attacking midfielders? after the 1st wave...

1) I can "add patience" which will basically make it as my other tactics. Slower build up, more conservative role distribution. Yes i'll have less long shots but it'll be harder breaking down a defense with the slow passing. 2) Let's talk a bit about the 2nd wave. When i have possession in the...

I get that, but HOW do you give them options when the opposition is parking the bus? I've seen that answer on countless threads and never seen an actual example of the solution. My roles currently are: CF/S RMD/A SS/A IF/S CM/D APM/S FB/A CB/D CB/D FB/A GK/D The CF/S is supposed to drop...

Hi, I'm trying to to create a 4-2-3-1 high tempo, control and short passing tactic to mostly use in home games. I've had a lot of a success with a 4-2-3-1 on normal tempo, standard and short passing on away games but on my home games teams usually park the bus and i'm trying to create a good...

Well, changed AML to AP and AMR to winger with some mixed passing and what do you know? things are looking up! Thanks!

Yep, that's very accurate. Any ideas how to fix it? Perhaps removing the "get further forward" instructions from one or both the inside forwards?

Right, sorry about that. Though honestly i would hope TI and PI would be enough to create a decent tactic agnostic to PPMs.

I've tried playing with DLF but it only made creating chances more difficult. Here are the front 4 PPMs i use pretty much across all 3 tactics:

For some reason the forum won't let me post. (too many URLs or forbidden words?)

And another "beautiful" example why i'm starting to think this game isn't worth my time or money.

So, i'm getting ridiculously close to calling FM16 a funked up version and giving up. I've been trying to create a working 4-2-3-1 tactic for a couple of months now with no luck. I do OK, but i'm definitely not winning the EPL or CL with Man Utd. (1 EPL win out of 7 season by now) Basically at...

Hi everyone, I'm playing with Manchester United (of course), finished the first season with a nice double (EPL and FA cup). Middle of the second season now and things are going generally well, leading the EPL and progressing in all competitions. I'm using 3 different tactics (screenshots are...

Thank you WJ, i'm going to try a 4-4-1-1 or 4-5-1 tactic later today with a little more aggressive instructions (but less TIs). thanks again!

Lol, you are definitely correct. What i was trying to say - there isn't one type of attack i'm susceptible to. Sometimes i'll concede on a counter, sometimes it's a cross from deep and an unmarked striker and other times it seems like the opponent striker will have a Messi-esque performance. It...
