442 is NOT DEAD

Did you honestly score that many in that amount of games? May be fun to see what my OP Shrewsbury team could do with it

I could honestly say it is and was possible
View attachment 282214

This is with my 523 formation (Version 2)
1st 2 games 7 goals so thats 3.5 goals per game x 15 games = 52.5 goals
but that is the potential as im currently playing with Aston Villa so imagine playing with a top side like Chelsea, Man Utd or Arsenal!!

Lower league teams are always gonna struggle more as they dont have the quality players but i like to think my tactics which ever version you decide to use it gives a good stable team work effort to get the results you want and enjoy.
 
Will give it a quick bash tomorrow with a very strong team in 2021 ha

I have the players for a 4123 as long as it's three striker ha

Do you have any results from your latest tweaks btw mate? How did your tests go with the last bunch of tactics?

Been busy with the family but tonight I started a save with villa and I have posted a few posts back my first 2 games so far
using the 523 (Version 2) version.

Not started a proper save yet with Version 3 (4123).

Thats why I posted for some help to test cause I dont have alot of time to play sometimes.
 
Just to double check what team did you use it with? 100 in 15 is more than 6 a game which is crazy!
 
I also play a 4-4-2 with great results, but having doubts about the ability of the 2 in the middle and the 2 CBs to handle 6 players, against the hideous 4-2-3-1 all in the middle.

Im thinking on using my 4-5-1, being the 5 a one line in the middle with also great results, but since you have good results with yours, and i want to keep the 4-4-2 formation, i would like some thoughts.

Also, why do you use wingers and then in the team instructions you prefer to use the middle, instead of flanks?

One more: why float crosses? tall guy?

Tks in advance.

It does suprisingly well to be honest, also this part of the third answer below

Up to u really. not sure what u would like me to add to that

Also, why do you use wingers and then in the team instructions you prefer to use the middle, instead of flanks?

Because if you have played it u will notice the wingers score alot of goals, playing trough the middle seems to free them up and cause alot of damage prob the reason it work so well, also means the defence of the team is focused through the middle leaving wingers free to help more again same idea with the float crosses if the strikers miss the wingers are in behind to snap up the left overs

Tks in advance.

Haha wise man! I certainly feel like something has changed since the update, still winning but i'm conceding a bit more and not dominating possession as much. Going to give the original a few more games though before I switch to the updated versions.

What I don't get though, is why SI put out a patch and then lie about what they have/haven't changed. I'm sure myself and plenty other FM players aren't crazy when we notice a tactic we used yesterday to win the league unbeaten, scoring 100+ goals, now struggles to even draw against lesser teams the next day.
