another 4-5-1...but with a different back story

[tinhead420]

I have been an avid Footy Manager player since the days of champ man 97/98
I buy every version and pride myself on trying to "defeat" the game XD

Obviously as the game gets "smarter" this is becoming more of a challenge

since they introduced coaching badges I decided to start my career from the bottom up

ie. no badges, lowest league

i started in conferance league north with curzon ashton (predicted to finish bottom of the league), was mid table by xmas. Left for altrincham who were languishing in the conferance. Guided them to safety. In my first full season i guided them to the playoff places, but exeter city came calling. (Altrincham walked the playoffs) finished just outside playoffs with exeter. First full season with exeter finished outside playoffs again by goal difference. Now with some tweaking and lesson learning ive finally settled with the tactic you see, which just got me promoted with exeter from league 2.

so here is a tactic that isn't tested on the "best" teams in Europe but honed in the depths of the lower leagues of England

opposition instructions - assistant manager
general training - balanced average
match training - def. positioning

try and have all the players training in the position/role they play in

I have found that if you cant quite break the opposition down, switch from counter to control and switch from short passing to direct

I am currently testing this tactic in the English Leagues, i have chosen the top and bottom predicted teams from the premiership to the conference.

i have put this tactic as the only option, gone on holiday and let it run.

For anyone who is interested, the teams are as follows
chelsea and bournemouth
hull and preston
wigan and crewe
notts county and bristol rovers
tranmere and welling

Are you sure that going on holiday works accurately enough in simulating the matches?

When I was trying this tactic- http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/shar.../355080-playmakers-paradise-liverpool-fc.html, I had significantly differently results while I was away on holiday and when I played the matches one by one with only commentary on.

I believe you are right about this.what about instant result button?
(Some skins have it)

unfortunately i'm running this scenario on my laptop whilst at work so i don't have the time to do an in depth test or cast an eye over it, i was more curious to see if it had any sort of success.

successful or not i will post the results

 

[tinhead420]

so the results after 1 season are as follows

premiership
chelsea - predicted to finish 1st - finished 1st
bournemouth - predicted to finish 20th - finished 16th

championship
hull - predicted to finish 1st - finished 1st
preston - predicted to finish 24th - finished 24th

league 1
wigan - predicted to finish 1st - finished 5th - lost in play off final
crewe - predicted to finish 24th - finished 22nd

league 2
notts county - predicted to finish 1st - finished 18th
bristol rovers - predicted to finish 24th - finished 19th

conference
tranmere - predicted to finish 1st - finished 3rd - won play off final
welling - predicted to finish 24th - finished 14th

no transfers were made, so no squad improvements

also no tweaking of tactic during games

mixed results across the board

Generally top teams went better...i thought the opposite would happen.
And again "on holiday" isnt the safest way to judge.
Needs real testing imo

deffo, how's i go about doing that?

 

[bantons]

Try and go to your tactic panel and then choose "Analysis" then you can see all the different tactics your assistant manager have used while you were on holiday

 

[Djibril Cisse]

You cant judge tactics on holiday.

 

[tinhead420]

i know, it was just the quickest way when on limited time to test it
