Hey galego25, thanks for your post. Yes, I am aware it may/may not have an effect unless I change the individual instructions. Maybe its just me, but their positioning and the amount of attacking runs they make seem to change a bit, at least something changes, because when I make a simple...

Best Tactic Ever! Just wanted to share the amazing success I've had using a slightly modified version of this tactic. The only big changes I've made were having crosses "drilled in" rather than default, making both strikers play as poachers and swap positions, the DMC doesn't make as many...

no no no, just wait. You won't get a new accurate wage budget until after the season ends. You can negotiate with some of them, some more than others. For example anyone that loves the club will sign for less, and players that are more adaptable (which is hidden, but you can get a feel for...

absolutely. Pretty much all of my successful tactics have the defenders only pressing in their own area, while all the other players press the whole field. You don't want your CB running out of position to harass some MC while the CF runs past him, gets a flick on and scores wide open, those...

warn and fine them if they perform 6.3 or lower. This can improve their work rate and determination, probably the consistency too. If you notice your assistant feedback is always saying a certain player is passing straight to the opposition or constantly getting burned, talk to him about it...

go to the job center, and any vacancies you can place an advertisement for. Within a a couple weeks you will get some applications and can then hire them. Or you can filter staff by nationality, find any San Marino nationals and they are likely to join too.

Very Nice! You might be right about the Target man thing, but Jumping ability I think is worth something. For example with Norwich I've been mostly using Paddy O'Conner, some Irish regen iirc. He is considered the front runner for English Player of the Year at this point, but mostly because...

works great! I started using it when I switched clubs, brought Hayes & Heading up to the Premier league from the Skrill South then moved on to Norwich and my old tactic just wasn't going to work with the players I had. I moved mid season, so I tested it a fair bit with almost no familiarity and...

Very good to hear, glad it is helping! Thanks for the other comments as well everyone, much appreciated. Quick update, the Limited defenders might be better off on stopper duty, I've changed it temporarily and the results have been great. Also the other tactic I'm working on is getting closer...

usually I have just done whatever the assistant says for match prep. Training is usually balanced, nothing fancy. I do very hard fitness the first 2-4 weeks, then about a week of team cohesion, then balanced most of the season, unless I see a deficiency. Not sure how it would do with a top...

Just thought I would share a tactic that I created recently specifically for lower league management. I wanted to start a new game with Truro, if you are unfamiliar they are a Blue Square South team, horribly in debt, in administration, over budget, only iirc 7 healthy players on the beginning...

yes, it was a problem with the website. When I realized i upload a version of them with a small error, i went to edit the post. The website was completely messed up last night, hopefully I can fix it now.

btw this forum is majorly messed up. about half my edits and changed aren't completed and formatting gets messed up if i even click edit... so sorry if its not presentable.

apologies, I think i uploaded the tactics with a small fault, when I went to create the images the specific man marking got messed up, just like I instructed you not to do.

Hello, and welcome to Shiggs713's 4-5-1 thread! This tactic or more specifically set of tactics, is the culmination of many months of private testing and tweaking. Now I know FM2013 is just around the corner, but I had these sitting here, and I figured I would share them with anyone...
