Calm down mate, I have the solution for you. Go into Match Preparation > And mark "The team's understanding for each other" It worked for me. I beat Man City 3-1 with HSV with a very bad squad. Report back on how your team is performing. Just want to point out that I won the Bundesliga and German Cup in the first season with this tactic.

I've switched to Laffles 4-2-4. Better defense and the sameish goals.

Yeah dont be confused. Dont use the defensive tweak with 11.3 tactic. I used it by mistake and whilst it did work initially, it soon went downhill

hi jimmy you mean starting you use beat chelsea 6-1 but after few match you losing?

I wonder what is so excited about this tactic?

I just finished the season Man Utd 11.2 patch.
Followed the recommendations of the author's tactics.
Rooney scored 33 goals in the league (all 40). It is strange that the author earned them more than twice. Noticed a lot of draws (8) and a lot of failures (4) as the leader in the league.
Strengthened the team: - Hazard (the best winger in the league) - Gervinho - Vidal - Kadlec - Lukaku - Srna

on Base FM will find a much better tactic

Excuse my English. I use a translator

 

[TesleR]

I'm using this tactic but for some reason I cant view the player roles???? And it does not give me the option to change the instructions...Help please?

Nevermind I just searched the thread it was used on an old tactic creator or something, is there a way to change this as I'd like to look at my player roles so I can use training schedules

no once d converted thats in no going back

 

[Perssisco]

Do you guys think i'll "destroy" the tactic if I take the left striker and put him as a attacking midfielder? In the tactic 4-2-3-1? The attacking midfielder will be William would it work ??

 

[cragswfc]

dont know try n post bk + tweaks you do

 

[bendobson]

Awesome Tweak crags, promoted as champions with Middlesbrough. A lot stronger at the back.
Thank you for sharing

I don't know if anyone is interested, but i've created my own version of Il Devasto which is not a classic tactic. It's working well for me both in a season one palace season and a season 3 palace save (currently 3rd mid december, in league cup semi (against Sunderland!) and through to knockout stages of Euro Cup). I haven't finished a season with it yet but it is solid at the back, contains the same principles that made Il Devasto so devastating, but you can have so much more control over it in game (shouts etc).

I've uploaded it here... if you want some screenies I can probably manage it but as I said it's only done half a season in two situations, but is coping more than admirably with both.

glad you like it. i think with this tactic pace is a must i would say min of 14

 

[cricketdave]

Crags, you still using the 11.2 with tweaked defensive line?

[bendobson]

Yeah I agree crags, pretty much holding our own in the premier league after promotion with your tweak version. Normally when I get a team up my defense opens the flood doors. Brought in Huth & Bikey as a center back partnership who both have decent pace stats & its working well. 2-1 win against Man U at home followed by a 3-2 win at Chelsea.

 

[fishy77]

can ya give me download link for your tactic please thank

Right my season three with Palace has finished so I can share it with you.

I finished 5th in the Prem:



We won the League Cup, beating Chelsea in the Final:



We got through to the Qtr Final of the Euro Cup, and only lost that to a very good Florentina side on away goals...



We beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge 2-4:



Results 1/3:



Results 2/3:



Results 3/3:



Players:



My top three forward players (It was very much a team effort this season, so many games, juggling league cup, euro and prem. These three all chipped in with goals, although Sanogo broke his foot the last third of the season):

Griffiths:



Fleck:



Sanogo:




Delph was a huge part of my season as well, playing alongside Gago, Delph was the heartbeat of my team:



So the tactics... I made three tactics, a 424 Devasto that I made from scratch in advanced mode, a 41122 which was designed to stop the top 5 teams pulling me apart (and which I also played when a team played an AMC which I found gave the 424 problems), and a 4231 which I tried at the end of the season. This tactic was a good 'Control' tactic which was designed to break down teams who were digging and and making it hard for us to make any progress. In this tactic I put in a 'Messi' AMC and a 'Pele' C_Fwd, as designed by Laffles in his "playing like legends' post. It worked a treat but I didn't play it enough to get it fluid to REALLY test it.

Here are the tactics, three .tac files, zipped and uploaded to MediaFire:

Other information:

OI: I always let my AssMan do this, sometimes, when I'm facing tough opponents, I do it myself, as I think he goes a bit mad on the tight marking. I don't think it's that important though.

Match Prep: Pre-Season and until all three tactics are filled up Fluid, Team Blend High. Then I put it on Defensive Movement on average.

TeamTalks: I tend to vary it up a bit pre game, but half time teamtalks I almost ALWAYS say "Have Faith" to anyone not playing with confidence or higher, and "None" to anyone who is. Simples. I do use special case ones when I have to.

Pitch Size: Maximum.

Training: Dunc's medium, but with all strength and Aerobic set to max preseason, then back down once season starts.

I also tend to rest my players in-between games where the gap is 3 days or less., only one day though.

That's it. Hope some of you try it. I find this approach much more satisfying and interactive than just one tactic all season, which soon gets found out anyway.

Any questions, please ask away!
