i guess it's safe to say now that this one's my absolute favorite tactic for FM18. I only manage Liverpool so have no idea how it fares with smaller teams but with Liverpool for me it offers the best mix of realism and results, and it's really fun to watch too. after trying out multiple other...
im not sure if the training regime itself matters as long as it is in the playing position, but i might be wrong. as for how long it takes, some players pick it up fairly quickly, but i had saves where for example one player who's relatively versatile (Mané) never really got "light green" over...
both. you have to train them for a new position but if you also play them there while training they'll pick it up faster. how fast and how effective the process will be depends on the player's versatility trait.
I'm running season 3 with a somewhat modified version of the 4-1-4-1, I tried to add some bits and pieces I found useful from the previous tactic I used without compromising this one's approach as described in the OP. going really well so far, if it keeps going and anyone is interested I'll post...
so, season finished.
before i get into it i have to state that i have a pretty decent squad available at Liverpool despite not being too active in the transfer market and preferring to give chances to youth, and i have built up quite a good rapport with them due to the past results with other...
going really well so far and I like the overall approach to it, might have a new favorite in this one, hopefully i won't jinx it :P who do you take off if you get a red? one of the CM's i guess?
gotcha. thought so considering how they're pushed forward as wingers in the 4-3-3 version so it makes sense. i guess it's best if they're at least adept using their weaker foot as well. okay, we'll see how it goes. just won the League Cup against Spurs with Liverpool in my 2nd season as the...
ooh, I like the look of this one! currently on a very good 1,5 season run with TheWibe's tactic but it's getting a bit stale, might give these ones a go
quick question: i see the WM's are set up as both crossers but they also cut inside. which preferred foot on which side/does it matter at all...
i think most of his goals came when I was using CE's tactic in which he was playing a right IF. he didn't really click as a left winger so now i'm trying him out as my main striker for the next season.
pretty much saved my season, this. have been using CE's Wrecking Ball for most of it and it worked pretty well actually but after bombing out of the FA cup against the Mancs on an urge I switched to this as I liked the setup. managed to salvage the season by winning the league and the Champions...
here's how we stand at half-time in my first season:
going pretty good so far, other than getting our ***** kicked in a meaningless group game vs Atletico and an exercise in bad defending away at Arsenal results are great. abandoned the underdog version after a while, seemed like we're big...
yes, so far it seems to work better for me as well for the big guns to play on their weaker side and cut inside whereas the likes of Oxlade-Chamberlain operate better on their strong foot side. might be totally random, though.
but i really dig the tactic so far.
I see in your Arsenal setup you use the IFs on the side of their stronger foot. does it at all matter do you think? naturally I'd put Salah on the right and Mané on the left in my Liverpool game but that's the opposite. i guess i'll have to experiment but curious as to how you see it.
oh-hoh, yes please. looks just perfect for the current Liverpool default squad, and I was looking to start a new save anyway because I wasn't really satisfied with what I've tried so far. gonna give it a spin and report back.
