TheBetterHalf can you upload cragswfc version with your tweaks? this results looks juts amazing
 
Hello!

Could someone help me with newly promoted Leeds team. I have tried crags, sidanger and dazrons latest tactics without succsess ;-((

I`m glad Ken Bates is out so he couldnt sack me after this match:

Here is my squad:

And here is my matchprep all fluid:
View attachment 179586

Have you boys any ideas for me?

My lineup is : Smithies- Azpilicueta, Nkoulou, Bassong, Renzetti- Delph, Ganso- Vonlanthen, Eric- Alves, Ben Khalifa. I feel 4-2-4 Il devasto 10 notches are going best out of the three tactics.

Crag: Is it right that the mc`s have the same player instructions? I see the right center midfielder just have more defencing roles on set pieces.

You have great results with hednesford and sheff w! Hopefully i could get a title in my leeds team soon ;-) Chelsea just beat me in the semi 3-2 after two legs... I won 1-0 home but after leading in 80 mins away blooody sturridge sent me home to thorpe arch with a 3-1 defeat in the bag:(

Sorry for my bad english!

Actually, I think its better if i did not. If adding even more versions ( read slight tweaks) to this thread, It will only cause more confusions.

The tweaks I made where the following and they really just gave me the opportunity to use the same game flow as was intended in the downloaded version.One thing you do have to remember is that I am pretty good at man handling, making the opposition manager and players nervous in insecure and making pregame comments in the media and at the press conf and also being good at making sure that our players put in a 90 minutes effort. This results in that when 3-0 up, our team still push forward and the opposition basically stops playing. In the end, this is the difference between winning 7-0 versus 3-2, 3-0 versus 1-2

- I had no deep coming FC ( like Rooney, RVP, Tevez etc) and as the tactic is in its best when one of them drop deep/sit deeper, I had to change his settings so that he actually starts from deep. My player was given a lower mentality and no runs from deep. This player also had the ppms gets inside the area so in the end, he will get there anyway but from deep..

I also made him hold up the ball. This way, I made sure that he was behind the FCright at most times, actually having someone to hit t-balls onto. As his lowered mentality made him one of the most defensive in the team, I also made sure that he did not dribble straight at goal but instead would consider other players to be those to be at the end of the moves.

- The d-line. Well, when playing at home, most teams tend to sit deep and hit t-balls into channels, over the top of my last defender, most of the time down the flanks. If playing with a high d-line. Playing with a high d-line, It would have made me vulnerable to these balls, especially against teams playing a 4411 ( which most teams in Sweden do), letting them be able to gain possession in advanced position. The normal d-line also helped me draw the deep sitting opposition on to me. So here, I saw no reason to tweak the downloaded tactic

When playing away though, most teams pushed up their team and played a shorter passing game. Here, its suited me perfect to push up to, breaking up the attacks earlier and higher up in the field, closing up the gap between my defence and midfield and denying them the space they so longed for. In short, we played more compact and when breaking up these attacks, it saw us outnumbering them again and again, hitting them on the counter, an approach that simply would not have worked at home, playing these cautious teams

If getting into Europe, playing teams that are likely to attacks us at our home ground, will probably use the High d-line setting at home to.

Quickie question - sorry if it's off topic but I don't know where else to ask and I feel I have mates in this thread...

I just won Prem, League Cup and got to final of FA Cup and semi of euro Cup - next season, season 5, my Palace Board have given me just 2.9m to spend with roughly 50k more wages... I mean, wtf? This is with the expectation of winning Prem again! What about Champions cup money... I am seriously going to walk as manager if I can't keep improving...?

How much have you got in the bank? Are you spending stupid money on monthly instalments?
 
only 5m in bank but no installs - board usually give me 20m a season ish
 
Is it because they announce Champions Cup income later on? I've not had any messages about it...
 
It'll be because you've only got £5m in the bank. Why would they give you £20m when they only have £5m in the bank? ;) I'd just keep the current squad, and work on building the balance up.
 
Don't you get income from Champions Cup?

Before the match, click and drag the left one into the central position, then click and drag the right one into the empty left position and then click and drag the old left into the empty right position. Voila, save the tactic.

TBH,I am using the new il Devasto tactic that Crags uploaded and I am leaking a lot of goals.I have Leeds in my third season and I have quite good team.I usually win with scores like 3-2 or 4-2 but the goals I concede are many and it's annoying.If I lose I will suffer from a heavy loss like 0-4 :(

Could you please upload your tactic?Seems really solid.

Like I wrote earlier, I will not be uploading the tactic. My changes are just the following

- I Adjust the d-line accordingly to what I see on the pitch/expect from the match
- I have adjusted the FCleft setting to make my specific players play like a false nine without actually being the type for it

These tweaks cant be uploaded as it will only add confusion. I have really not made any tweaks to the player settings. If you have a deepcoming FC, then the tactic settings are just fine. If you dont, then you have to either get one or make changes to suit that player
 
hey TheBetterHalf, i have the same problem as lavezzi7. I am west brom and i usually win against mid-table and small teams but when i play the likes of arsenal, i get trashed 6-0 lol. i have strengthened my centrebacks and goalies and strikers pre-season (first season) and its not just the default west brom team. i read your post. do you reckon you could upload a screenshot of your left striker's instructions please? if you cannot can you tell me how much
- you lowered the mentality by? do you mean 30% of what it is right now or 30% less than what it is right now?
- should I set him to never run from deep only if he has the PPM "get inside opponent area"?
- plus he shud hold the ball. is that all? 3 tweaks?

also about your explanations of the d-line.
- should i use 10 notches or normal d-line when I am playing at home against a team who I am expected to beat or have close odds.
- and push up the d-line when I am playing away or when I am playing against a team I am expected to lose against at home? just these two tweaks? when you say push up the d-line, you mean increase it till it says "high"?

thanks
