I tested ( 433 Extreme XX-4 ) this in League One with Sheffield Wednesday - Possession seemed low in most games, rarely getting above 50% and often low 40s with 2 35%s. Only 3 games I had more possession than the other team, these were 51-54%. I am a League One team though. Having said that, in...

Also tested TEST1PICASO Started strong, then results dropped off back end of October. First half of season to Dec 31 ended in 5th. I was sacked after the 1-1 with Morcambe on Capture2

Tested TEST4TARGET now again with Sheffield Wednesday and on holiday mode. This time however I only holidayed till December 31st just to check injuries and suspensions at that point. However, It fared much worse than test3, so I didnt bother with the second half of the season

Tested TEST3TARGET with 1 'almost' full season in League One with Sheffield Wednesday as they play 532 with wing backs in real life. This was done by going on holiday to sim the entire season for speed. W20 D11 L6 - Before being cut short for being sacked after an horrific run of 14 league...

A 9 loss in a row is normal? I dont know of any team who wins 0-8 away one week then loses 9 on the trot after only 7 in 29 before it. You can have a bad spell, but going from having 15+ shots per game to 4 and conceding 15+ shots per game after keepoing it to below 6 previously is a bit weird...

*This is not a neg on the tactic, just the game in general* So following the 8-0 away win, battering chelsea 4-1, having shot after shot, performing well in almost every game, ive gone 9 losses in a row barely having any shots and conceding 15+ each game. Do not know how this years FM works, I...

What about BBM next to Mez? Im also going to try convert my DMs into CMs for the role. They appear to be better at it, whilst most CMs are naturally attacking players. But with how good the attacking play is, 1 bad player whos there to offer cover for the attacking play and not really get...

I switched to this after the Norwich game. The tactic I had before was doing well, but mainly not conceding and hitting on the break. This is just stupid at times! Leeds was a derby game, in the cup, 0-8 away. Madness!

Quality so far! Been struggling to get goals from wingers all FM so far. Finally this one is getting the best out of my best player who is on AML. So good im tempted to start a new save! I had made my squad fit a 433 with DM and 2 wingers for 2 and half years. Looks like youve made a quality...

So having the left winger as an AP on attack with remove play narrower is going really well for me. Tactic jsut as good but that position is now involved more too. I would suggest the change from IF to AP. Leave all player roles the same but remove sit narrower from the AP.

From watching the games its not the striker causing the issues, its the IF and Mezzela are always on top of each other. Which I was told by another on the page. The Mezzela comes out on top for receiving the ball so the IF spends a lot of the game doing nothing. I will give it a go on another...

And these were the 4 games prior, which the default state of the tactic. Result wise; 4 games as IF: P4, W3, D0, L1 4 games as AP: P4, W3, D0, L1 So tactic has remained strong. My season only has 1 more game left. I will continue to test, but I have been promoted so be harder to judge.

Weird you should say that - I have just changed the IF to an AP on attack. Going to give it a test. Edit: Early days, but these are the 4 games with the left winger playing as AP on attack. I have taken off the sit narrower.

Heres a screenshot of how im doing so far - Its the 2nd season. Media prediction is 15th. Connolly is on loan from Brighton and is excelling in this tactic. Most positions are performing very well. DLP, Bannan, has been stunning in it. Worst performers, IF and Winger. IF has scored more than...

Default tactic is very good. IF is worst performer no matter how good he is it seems though. Been trying to get the IF to perform with various changes to instructions. Doesnt seem to make any difference. I'm now trying the IF with roam from position - I suspect this will hinder defensive...
