4-2-2-2 "Il Devasto"

D-Pak

how many goals did your striker's score?????

not as much as i had hoped for but i guess WEST BROM finished 2nd, so wont complain lol. plus my strikers arent that great either. they're just cheap, above average ones. and the screenshots are after 35 games into the premier league. i saved the west brom game and then saved it again with a different name. the new save was to accept the real madrid job and the old save for screenshots but when i load the old save, it starts from 35 games into the premier league lol.

STL - i used artem milevskyi and garra dembele who are big but also reasonably quick.

STR - i used christian benitez and cedric bakambu. poachers

Listen,i wanted to get a new challenge with a **** of a team and transform it into the best team of the world and,just for curiosity,i holidayed a game until 2021 and picked the worst team of La Liga : Gimnastic! recently promoted,had **** of players,but with a good transfer budget(15m).With that said, i made 17 tranfers-in and got lost loads of players.
Well,my starting eleven:

So,i made the debut in La Liga and won 5-2 against Las Palmas(recently promoted as well).Good result,but next match was against Atletico de Madri,that in 2021 is the best team in La Liga:

And the worst thing is that they played with a 4-3-1-2,with Douglas Costa in AMC.It was a disaster to happen!
So,i made a 4-1-2-2-1 or 4-3-2-1,as you wish,swithing the left striker to a DMC and tickin' the counter attack.Well,see the results:

Of course it's just one game but WOW!!!!!! I'M SO ******* HAPPY!!!! If you wanna test,just copy the DMC role and put him in the place of the left striker(in other words,put the left striker on the dmc place and cofigure him just like the screenshot),put the STCR in STC position and tick Counter Attack.But just use this against teams with AMC player.Going to post more after!

Just played against Real Madrid(away).Lost 3x2 but was TOO CLOSE TO WIN!!! in the first real madrid goal my left CB fell on the ground because of a knock and their striker used of this advantage to get a CCC and score.If wasn't for that,my team could've drawned it or even won =/
Here the screen:

This is Alex's version - http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/foot.../60554-4-2-2-2-il-devasto-37.html#post1177104

But I implore you to try all of them and work out what makes them tick - and then to make one form scratch that fits your team

Dazron:
This might be a stupid question. But which one of the midfielders would suit as a "playmaker"?
Playing as Wigan and my young McCarthy isnt performing as i want him to. Playing with alex´s version.
So CMR or CML for the more offensive CM?
Vould be very grateful

 

[Dazron]

Pil, I dont actually use Alexx's version, but if my memory serves me, it's the MCL that is more creative, but there's not much in it in the traditional Il Devasto's... You can tweak it to suit your players you know

 

[PequenoGenio88]

what is the role for each player? especially the middlefieldrs and the strikers

Ok, I'm done with reading pages and pages and then pages. At around page number 100 you added the 11.3 tactic and from that point on I just can't seem to find if there has been any kind of improved one or the one in the OP (11.3) is the best one ? If not which one is?
Thanks.

 

[fm2008manu]

crag version, alex version and sidanger version and 1 more, i cannot remember are superb tactic.

 

[CelticFan]

Could you please post a link to one or all of them?

 

[fm2008manu]

hi celticfan it is just 100 to 151 page. you can find it.

i use crags at moment it amazing!! i beat barcelona away 2-3 !!! using man u those..

i rate

1. crag version
2. 1 more, i cannot remember
3. sidanger
4. alex

1 more i cannot remember the tactic is good too but crag is best.

 

[CelticFan]

Ok I got it. I'm with ManUTD, and with Crag's version (3 defenders + 1 dm) isnt this formation a little bit of waste of Evra? He is a DL. And who should I use as the defensive midfielder? Haargraves?

 

[Bosno]

2nd season with Crags version... I only lost against Feyenoord, which is weird because i beat them 10-0 earlier in the season.

Scored 44 goals in 11 games so far with my Chelsea side but every time a come up against a big club I struggle to win! For example I lost 4-1 away to Arsenal in which I was strong favorites to win and drew 2-2 to a poor Liverpool side with 10 men! I'm using Crag's version and following all OI, math prep etc.
This tactic has been fantastic and scored more goals than any other tactic but does anyone have any ideas how I can improve against the stronger teams?
Thanks
