My only gripe with this tactic is that the football is not easy on the eye. It completely fails in terms of creating or exploiting spaces in the final third: goals are either scored by set pieces or long shots / deflections / second balls in the area after long shots. No crosses, fluid counters...

@Nexusn CF leave as the instructions as they, but move him to the left or right CF position. Put the other striker in the AMCL or AMCR position with SS role. So, for example, if CF is left, AM should be right (AMCR). The point is they make better use of space when they are not directly behind/in...

A couple of small tweaks that worked really well for me, using the "home" version (I don't bother ever using the other one): 1. Set the left CM to DLP with a DEFEND duty. He will patrol the area in front of the back 4 much better and prevent counters. It also allows him to more easily find...

At last a tactic that makes sense and is not simply exploiting the me! Well done & thanks! One question: can the wingers be inside-forward types or do they absolutely need to be traditional wingers, played on their strong foot (right foot - right winger etc)?

I've been trying the 4-5-1 asymmetric mostly, and presently I would say it is stable, but perhaps a bit sterile. My striker is goal shy, plus I am unconvinced by the wide target man role on the AML . My team seem to often be crossing from deep hoping to get the ball to him - problem being that...

This is a very stable tactic, defensively impeccable and great at controlling matches. I do however have two issues with it. Firstly, my striker never seems to score. I've tried Jovetic and Torres there amongst others and they only score from set pieces, if at all. Secondly, inverted wingers...

Then perhaps the problem was with FM11/12 where you could just plug in a counter attacking 4-1-2-3 and exploit ad nauseam. Personally I'm finding FM13 much more realistic even in this early stage. I'm having no trouble adapting to what I see is happening on the pitch either, so I can't really...

Swansea - because you could make a possession based tactics for once.

Malaga, first season, but with lots of signings. The players I've tried as AMC are Cazorla (mainly), Buonanotte, Willian, Jenssen, Maresca and Siem De Jong. I am currently second, 2 points behind Barca, with 6 games to go and already qualified for the CL. It may well be that I lack a true...

I have to say this is one of the most succesful and enjoyable tactics out there. What I like about it the most is that it uses a realistic formation and sensible settings to create a beautiful, fast type of football wich at times reminds me a bit of real life Real Madrid. The results have been...
