For information only. We'll both test with Forest. He'll play with the editor and play a test season so he can tweak what works best without the pain of stupid injuries, having to get the team fluid, messing around with PPMs etc. He will absolutely not edit player attributes or import mega...

Hello again. I've been insanely busy recently so have yet to get the blog published. I've written tons of stuff but I want it to launch with a load of content so give me time ;) Meanwhile, I've been chatting with Greebo who did the tactic here...

I wanted to try a Bayern based 4-1-4-1 myself and I would probably have gone a slightly different route in midfield. But I thought I'd give your method a quick go my plugging it into my own Forest save and I have to say that the quality of play with this tactic is pretty ****** impressive. This...

I forgot to add - be very very careful with player instructions. Remember that each player position will automatically do certain things because of his job. So a defender will naturally close down more and tackle harder, a playmaker will naturally make riskier passes and so on. If you set the...

You have a high defensive line, so 1st question is - are your defenders quick enough? To play a high line, you'll need defenders with good acceleration and anticipation. Secondly, if using a high line (especially a much higher line) I wouldn't use a stopper. He will tend to push into midfield...

I'm not getting as much feedback on the tactics posted as I'd hoped. Way less than on FM14 and probably my fault. I'm also a teeny bit glum that the forum just fills up with tiki taka, Guardiola specials and 4-3-3 so early (all tested with Real Madrid for 10 games, ofc). Endless screenshots of...

Ok, I got something kinda basic working. 3-2-4-1 with di stefano (ok, Ronaldo) bossing things up front. But I cannot make the defence work at all. Two half backs, maybe? That should force everyone up the pitch and push the outside CBs wider. HBs will launch long balls forward too, so it might...

Problem is, how the **** am I going to make 3-2-5 work in FM15? :D

Kitch, you're a bad person because you made me watch di Stefano/Real videos for the past 6 hours and now it's 4am :)

Incidentally, the 1982 tactic works much better on Control than Attacking. Especially against big teams. But I left it on Attack deliberately to suit the historical setting ;)

I'll look into it though. Like I say, I'm not really so aware of the whole Real team from those days - like did di Stefano just carry them like Maradona '86 etc? There is still room for rogue superstars in what I do as long as the 'essence' of a team tactic is there. I'm aware of the team...

1982 is an attacking tactic, so always Attacking Movement. This is a recreation, not a plug and play, so if something else works for you, go for it :)

I forgot that someone also mentioned Hungary of the 50s so I might try that first. I'll be honest and admit that I don't have the first idea what the formation for the di Stefano era Real was. I'm sure I can find out ;) Trouble is in doing this that occasionally teams have a player that is SO...

Three requests so far - Don Revie era Leeds, Arsenal Invincibles and Fat Ronaldo Brazil. I'll dismiss the Brazil one (done 2 already) and the Arsenal team was mainly about the personnel than any great tactical set up. So that leaves Leeds. I'm a huge forest fan so doing Revie's Leeds has...
