ARMAGEDDON!

just on day one now, assessing the squad, will have updates for you with transfers once i'm done
 
I wanted something fast and took Challenge mode - Stay unbeaten easy difficulty (low amount of games to be played till end), picked randomly team and clicked instant result for each of them. Red line starts the games I took.

I just got destroyed by Watford. Slapped 3-0 away to them.

High squad harmony, players fitting positions still and very good quality players too on a maximum fluidity CRUSHER tactic. Yet I still lose many matches.
 
haha crew

i was about to sign a right winger for first team (Diego Rolan)

arsenal come in and snap him up (they got him for half the wages i offered him)

seems like this FM is realistic, every other club sniping LFC's signings :P
 
Once again guys stick to V1!
Works wonders comparing with V3.
At the moment i'm doing great with Sporting on portuguese league and euro league ;)

Ha. Yes it does seem very realistic this year in both good and bad ways. It is now SOOOO much harder to win away games it seems.

One thing I have noticed is when you are offering a player a contract after the club has accepted the bid you will need to ensure he agrees to that contract instantly if other teams are involved otherwise he will go to them. This happens no matter who you are. For example I have tried to sign John Stones as Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United and his agent always said something along the lines of "He will go away and consider his options" then he always ended up signing for other teams even for less wages. I then tried this again but kept increasing the wages until his agent said something like "This offer is very acceptable" and in that case they will sign right away every time it seems.

I think this is the games way of showing that a player wouldn't want to sign for a manager that isn't proven yet, as you wouldn't be in the first season.

The problem with this tactic for me as Liverpool though was that it simply did not create enough chances. When we won against small teams even at home it was by one goal and then the clock just ticked away with no further highlights and if they score first it is basically game over.

There is no reliable source of goals either. In last years tactic the striker, attacking midfielder and especially left winger were scoring a lot of goals and the goals always seemed to happen in similar ways so you knew the tactic was actually working and creating as it should be. This tactic though the goals come from all different situations which don't seem specifically down to the tactic itself.

I think he said he's playing without transfers :P
 
well that's just silly then if you're going to ignore a tactics success with transfers, not every club is built perfectly for this tactic by default lol, and liverpool isn't either

Yes but if you use the filters provided you will see that Liverpool's first team pretty much fit in for all positions except the AMR. But playing Ibe, Firmino, Lallana or Milner there shouldn't be enough to make the tactic so awful.

Did you check my screen? If results are fine with instant result without motivating etc. they should be even better with manual playing.

first match, the OG was a benteke tapin that got deflected in

he would've had a hatrick if he was more clinical

firmino missed 1 sitter too

ALL of their shots were from corners that came from deflected crosses/slides on wingers out wide, never threatened me once

henderson and lovren injured in pre season

allen is a good DM but for 12 mil that's too much to turn down

can has the worst mentals of any midfielder i've seen, silly money for him

kolo i have no use for him

ivan backup for clyne, cubas back up for lucas, ben yedder to start as AMR

i wanted felipe anderson, sisto, diego rolan, feghouli instead but kept getting turned down/not interested/signing for a diff club

edit: images lol

edit2: images again, i hate this -.-

got city away next, going to be scared to post what happens but i'll post either way haha
 
1-0 up 28 mins in, benteke and milner also forced hart in to big saves, city dominated off kickoff but after those 5-10 mins been all pool, tactic looks VERY solid
 
2-1 loss, both goals conceded in second half, both off corners from kolarov (first fernandinho out jumped skrtel, second was a penalty for a shirt pull while the ball was in the air)

something definitely wrong with corners

outside of the first 10 mins they didn't get the ball in to my box once, conceded 10 corners from crosses being deflected out wide, so can't fault the tactic for this loss, and could've scored a few more, hart was POTM on 8.2
 
so went on to play a few more

beat spurs 1-0 at home (lloris potm, benteke again lol)

drew 1-1 at home to west ham (i rotated starting 11 completely, needed to keep the second choice players happy and see who performs well)

and now just beat west brom away 4-0 (first match where i've had 100% tactic familiarity and could use defensive positioning)

definitely my go to tactic, i haven't conceded a single open play goal yet, EVERY one has been from corners

Soon... It performs about 30% better than V3... the increase in performance is huge so I want to be 100% that I didn't make any mistake in the testing and give it an additional testing just in case...
