I didn't think it'd work in the lower leagues at all, or I wasn't sure. But it worked surprisingly well. Not with the same fluency as with top-class players but that's probably true of any formation. I just did a quick screenshot with Barcelona, so it can be seen with players everyone knows.

This tactic has been successfully implemented at every level of European and international football. I've won every league in England with Telford and Sunderland, Serie A with Genoa, LA Liga with Barca, the Bundesliga with Bayern, Ligue 1 with Lyon, have won multiple Champions Leagues,and...

Hi all, I posted this in the stories thread, but I thought I'd post it here too, in case any one finds it useful. I've spent a lot of time playing Football Manager in all of the major European leagues, and all of the lower leagues in England, down to the Blue Square North. Having achieved quite...

Having achieved everything possible in the major European leagues and in international football on FM2010, I decided to try for the English Hero achievement - attempting promotion from the Blue Square North / South to the Premier League. I thought I'd start with one of the bigger clubs in this...

I went unbeaten for 63 games, winning 58 and drawing 5, including winning 33 games consecutively at one time. I won the Community Shield, League Cup, FA Cup, Premier League...
