Well to stop leaking the goals i've turned my 2 central defenders and defensive midfielders mentality to defensive and turned the goalkeeper to a normal keeper and not a sweeper. I've only conceded 2 goals in 5 games now
Closing down full and tick tight marking. If you look at the defensive forward settings that should help.
Maybe you should try to set mentality level to less attacking, and less forward runs. Higher closing down is good but I think you neet to set closing down to own half, - that way wingers will have to drop deeper to close down enemies, which will result in what you needed - you'll have more compact defence
This was a bit of a mixed bag for me in the season I tryed it for, had some good games, beating Man U 4-0 away from home being a hightlight, but lost to alot of the lesser teams like Wolves. I am still leaking goals, so will try some of the changes people have advised on the thread and see if it makes a difference. I finished 5th in the league with Birmingham anyway, and my right poacher got 25 league goals in 28 games, 39 in 42 overall, and I was top scoreres in the league with 73, but conceded 59 goals :S
Idk why sometimes its harder to up against lower teams. Probably because they play way defensive and it 'counters' attacking tactics?
Alot of the time I concede goals from corners against the little teams, they always seem to mark the 'lurker' steal the ball off him and run the length of the pitch and score. :S
Ok,ive finished my test.I only did it over half a season because im working on my own Clough 10.3 tactic
All in all excellent in the goal scoring area but not so in defence,but its getting that balance right which is the holy grail of plug and play tactics.However any tactic that can get an ordinary Boro side to top of the league has to be taken seriously,on top of that its given Leroy Lita 9 Prem goals in 10 games and Scott McDonald 20 in 20.
This tactic would be unstoppable with a Man Utd,Chelsea or Man City.
A big well done.
Possible areas of Improvement.
1.Make Keeper normal instead of sweeper.
2.Make the Target man a CM with attack mentality.
3.Make 1 CB cover.
4.Turn Anchor Man into a DM.
5.Make FBs Wing Backs,still on support.
Here are some screenshots. Keep up the good work.
Wow! David N'Gog more goals than Torres! Maybe he is as good as you have always said. Bit lame being knocked out of group stages of champs league
