That was I'm talking about when I mean ARMAGEDON suck >_< - spectacular in home, good on away with noob oponents, trashed and smashed on away with opponents like Bayern, RM, Barca, Chelsea, etc. , playing as Dortmund results about 1-6, 0-4 in CL with these opponents.

Excellent tactic; one of 3 I use in my "go-to" cupboard.
Using the tweak of F9 --> CF (support).
Found it produces better attacking results for my players ... it plays to their specific strengths more.
One of the other tweaks I use is to change mentality to 'Defensive' if faced with a hard away game ... i.e. Chelsea or Man Utd.
One other 'trick' I use is to change the formation from 4231, to 41221, if the scouting report shows opposition is particularly weak against that formation. Easily done by sliding the AM down to the DM position, leaving EVERYTHING ELSE the same. Works well for my team ... but it is done rarely.
Oh ... and just a personal obsession ... I added 'Retain Possession' to the team instructions, only because its one of my fetishes. I hate giving the ball away!
What PI do you give your DM? Because when you move the AM to DM, his PI are reset.
Depends on the role you want your DM to play.
For example, if DM (Support), you can pretty much exactly replicate the PI's of either the AM you're slipping down, or to match the CM (Defend) to keep PIs consistent in Midfield.
For example, AM's PI's are set at;
- Shoot Less Often
- Tackle Harder
- Mark Tighter
- Pass It Shorter
- More Risky Passes
- Move Into Channels
- Close Down Much More
You can get all of those except the 'Move Into Channels' with a DM (Support)
You can all of them with a Roaming Playmaker in the DM position.
Means you could play 2 x RPM ... or move the RPM in CM to an AP or CM (Attack), if you wanted to 'lessen' the moving of the AM, without making huge changes to the PI's.
There are plenty of ways to skin a cat ...
As I said, its not something I do often ... BUT ... if the scouting report shows a particular weakness to that specific formation, then it is something I can and will do, with minimal impact on 'Familiarity' or PI's.
The purpose of the profiles at the OP to give good understand what kind of players you need for the tactic and what attributes are the most important for them and what level these attributes should have.hey mate. gonna try your new tactic soon. just one question though. the player filters I downloaded and the player profiles in the OP are a bit different. Is that on purpose? Which do we take into consideration? Thanks
Ehhh... Barcelona is extremely overpowered in FM15 also if you play away match vs Barcelona it gives further buff to Barcelona and make it almost invincible.First defeat
