ı am trying this tactic with Deportivo. evething is OK. ı will upload many pictures, after end of season.
 
Won the quadruple with Man Utd using Attacking Movement instead of Defensive Positioning. Maybe a tweak for people managing big teams
 
Uuuurgh. Got exceptionally drunk last night at a mate's birthday - sent myself on holiday when I got home to FM. So the 100+ games unbeaten run is gone.

Hello, do I need to change something in the game after loading tactics? I loaded it normally, and to be honest I am disappointed with the attitude of my team, playing terribly in the box, playing a poor team.

Are you using the correct type of players, is your team fluid with the tactic yet? more info please
 
Does that mean? I do not understand .. I use players who are forward-looking and buying them .. what should I pay attention?
normally gives players which have the designated items ..
 
Here, maybe this will help you evaluate whether all is well ;]

Player Recommendations
Below is a small list of players that I recommend for each role. These players are aimed at mid/lower table Premier Division sides - but this can be flexible as some will be good for greater clubs and some will go to lower reputation sides to. ALL players can be acquired for under 10 million and don't start on ridiculous wages, but the prices are estimating asking prices (will differ from game to game). Star rating is my own personal opinion of how recommendable they are based on their value for money, how well they fit into the tactic and their performance.

Your players are not very suited to the tactic, use this and hopefully your results will improve!

Hi Hropek,

I think the reason that you a struggling in the league is that some of your players do not fit the tactic very well. There are some with a very low work rate (znaczenie) so they are probably lazy against the weaker sides, so the system of the tactic will not work. Look at the post above from rmcog and see where you can build the team towards the tactic - all the attributes to look for are on there.

Good luck!

Just wanted to make sure this was saw as the posts to the sides are rather colossal.

I'm in 2020 at the moment on my game so its difficult to judge them, but from memory your strongest area will be DM - de rossi, bradley, perrotta, tachtsidis. Lamela will grow into quality ML, Pjanic could probably do with being trained to play on the wing. Osvaldo will be good up top and I think you have Destro on loan. Stekelenberg is a class keeper.

You'll need to bring in a complete forward as the long term replacement for Totti as well as bolstering the defence, what's your budget?
 
I have a £6m budget. Lamela will be boss, Pjanic has great stats for RW, Osvaldo is pretty awesome, I don't know whether to keep Destro or not (always does **** for me). Got Rybka covering Stekelenburg. My defence is *****. So essentially, it's about 6m for a full defence.
 
Should I sign Kweuke for 4m up front and 3m over 48 months? I've just had a contract of 30k accepted.
 
If you can get some good defenders in cheap then yes Kweuke will be a good signing. Jores Okore and Borja Gomez are good cheap DCs
