Really enjoying this tactic! Admittedly a small sample size of results, but my team has taken to this nicely. The 0-0 was just one of those games, and it being silly season for fixtures with less than 48 hours since the previous game (I made 9 changes!). The 0-1 FA Cup 3rd round loss was a...

Personally, due to my squads composition (playing a youth only save) mine are right foot AMR, left foot AML and having great success with it (at work and do not have access to my game, but I think it is something like P10 W8 D1 L1 - which for me is greatly above expectations)

This played very nicely in the very short lunch play time I just had. 4-0 win at home 6-1 win at home (against a top team in my league) 4-1 win away (it could have been 5-1, I forget now! :D ) All played within 7 days, so a fair amount of rotation done. Both goals conceded were from scrambles...

Good info on the Shield Wall tweak, will be trying it tonight with Shield Wall v2

Agreed, I have just enjoyed my best season to date using this tactic as well (H)

If playing in lower leagues, where getting a decently rated Complete Forward is next to impossible - would you recommend changing the Complete Forward to a different role or just go with a forward who is not perfectly suited?

Always interesting to hear how others handle situations differently and how I could adapt my management style. @Plutte - what is your general rating where anything above it you praise the player after the game? 8.0? 8.5? Conversely, do you criticize your players after a bad performance as...

Er, " youth only challenge "........

I play my game with a low level team and enjoy the youth only challenge side of things. As such, my team is often comparatively poor compared to others and currently we are lacking in pace in the team (and especially in defense). As you can imagine with these tactics, my common cause of...

Wait, you would genuinely prefer to get less points per game but have a better goal difference? Yes, when you win a game it is always better to also improve your goal difference, but over the course of 152 games in the test I would prefer the points any day. Who cares if you have a goal...

Berserk is 2nd, behind Conqueror v1 (with Conq v2 in 3rd). Why that table defaults to sorted by Goal Diff is bizarre. Re-sort by Points Per Match (imo) to get a better picture. Goal diff can mean many different things, but league tables are based on points, not GD

Exactly and it makes it hard to compare them all :) Appreciate the reply and look forward to trying it tonight with the exploits removed (6)

The Complete Forward is scoring very nicely there. Are they mainly due to the set piece exploits or 'natural' goals? Will give this a try when I get home tonight but will be removing the set pieces myself.

I have removed the throw-ins routine from the tactic and it is still performing nicely for my sub standard team. nice work

Enjoying this. Due to playing in lower league, with a youth intake only team which are a lower standard than most of the league, the only change I made is to play with mentality lowered to Positive. 12 games, 7 wins, 4 draws and a single loss so far. Nice football and the variety of goals is...
