good tactic mate, tried it for a few games (only 50% fluid) and gotten good results,the corner exploit works really well. My only little gripe is it doesnt keep possestion very well,i'm. getting less than 50% a game,although this maybe because its not fully fluent yet. All in all good results and defo will keep it as 1 of my 3 tactics :D
 
In my personal opinion the central striker role needs tweaking- too often does the central striker receive the ball too deep because he is the target man and then attempt to dribble round every single opposition player. Now this is ok if you have Higuain in my case who is a top class player who can dribble, but I can imagine lower quality strikers struggling.

I'm going to try it myself as I think it would be a very simple tweak.

It's an issue with one of 2 things or perhaps a combination of both.

a. The through ball setting needs to be increased
b. The cross setting needs to be increased

The central striker role does actually work with Lower League teams. If the through ball settings are increased, the lower league teams do better so I suppose that should be told to anyone using a lower league team.

No I meant the through ball and cross ball settings of the central striker position itself. So that when he is given the ball early in a deep position he can look to play the ball on ahead of him into a channel rather than trying to just dribble his way through a solid defensive line

I suppose you could try and see how it goes. Maybe post some strikers stats comparing before and after with the same guy?
 
I found that with my centre strikers. Im in the process of trying to get two wide guys be the ones that drop back for it.. Its too much for the main guy to do if he picks it up early and starts running, he just gets crowded out at lower levels.
 
The "original tactic" didn't have target man selected.
I started a game yesterday using the pressing grid system with un-ticked target man to see if it was different to this, Rooney and Welbeck are going berserk, I'm In january of the 1st season and Rooneys just won both the Ballon d'or and the world player of the year.
Thought was quite impressive as I'd only seen Messi get it before, well at least the 1st couple of seasons.
That said I'm still struggling to get results down the lower leagues with the original stand off version and Harrys edit.
 
I might add another category to the OP listing the exploits and saying which ones were already included in the original tactic and which ones I added. Hopefully people will understand I changed the tactic a fair amount then.

Raikan,

The original was made in classic, I had both versions loaded and clicked on each players individual instructions whilst clicking the tab on the right to change what formation I was viewing and from what I could see the central strikers settings had been altered but the remaining ten players hadn't.
The team instructions had been altered dramatically.
Correct me if I'm wrong Hazza?
Which is why I 1st described it as a rip, having a clicked a few players on both formations and not seen any changes I jumped on the bandwagon of saying he ripped it.
After seeing the changes I took that back!

Check out the original, sorry if you already have.
It's a good read, one explaining how the tactical grid is constructed- FM Grid System | Football Manager Tactical Newspaper

This one explains how it applys to the formation (exploits) and shows some nice SS of it being used with varying clubs- http://fmtacticalnewspaper.fmcrowd.com/fm-grid-system-tactics/

Again apologies if you've already read them.

Absolutely correct, there are 9 exploits in this tactic, 3 of them were in the original tactic Raikan.
 
The good thing about the grid system is how his shown you can use a grid system to set sliders instead of having set them then adjust, and repeat until it gets to the way you want it. Other than that the exploits used in the original tactic are probably a huge reason why its so successful. Just my 2 cents.
 
A nice result:

I decided to add my best CM (Sigurosson) to "Playmaker" on the "Set Pieces" tab and look what happened. Do this.

Sigurosson got a 25-yarder with the outside of his boot and assisted all the other goals. This is only one game but definitely do this.

You won 4-0, that's it?

Or he appears more in the game?

What if we thick the "use playmaker" and set both CM for that?
 
Theres not the 9 Wan4er listed, he suggested a slow tempo and yours have normal on the side of quick for a start, but after a couple of tweeks to suit a couple of slower players i had, ive got all 4 of my teams dominating and hardly conceding with this.. good work.
