Its a great tactic for top teams because I have done extremely well in one of my careers with Liverpool but I find it inconsistent with the lower league teams. I think that is down to the standard of players in the squads compared to the higher leagues, you will win some then you will lose some.
 
Sean i know that you've already stated the players you recommend on te op .. But i need to ask you a question. I have just been hired at tottenham on the year 2017. Im planning to use your 4411.. The best 11 for this tactic in my opinion is:
Lloris - glen johnsson vertonghen carlos idri martins/coates clichy - badelj honda mavuba(old) shelvey (i dont know which of these to use as dms) - bale (ml) torje (mr) erikssen (trequartista) - perisic/matias suarez.
first, how would you assemble my dms? Which players would you use?
second, whiat players do you recommend i buy? I have 53 millon..
the rest of the players i have are: douglas costa, naughton, armero, and a few regular regens..
i now this tacic uses particular players, so i need your opinion. As you can see money is not an issue... I know you are going to tell me to look for regens but please try to tell me some normal players :)
thanks a lot in advanced, your tactic is great. Sorry for my english. Cheers
 
Hey, my first post here. First of all thanks for this great tactic, it's working really well for me(using 4-4-2 version). My training is on tactics and fitness in preseason, team cohesion for a few weeks and then balanced, high. always def pos for match training. I use my *** man for OI and make only half time and ft team talk.
So, everything is going great except....the CF. I have a great player in that position and i'd like him to score more. The other striker is doing a great job(over 25-30 goals per season) but the right one...well, i feel he could do better. I understand that he is on support, working for the team but i have to ask: has anybody made some tweaks to that position instructions with good results? Thanks in advance

Check out this thread http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/foot...17428-arrigo-sacchis-4-4-2-tweaks-thread.html

There are some variations there which may help :)
 
Hello, i've mixed results with ac milan , precisely my attack is very poor and my duo is pazzini balotelli.
i dont think AF and CF are the more suitable roles for them

If you read the first post it says that Balotelli won't fit in to the system.

I find that most people who say tactics don't work for them don't even read the post!

and my question was if an another role could be more suitable for him !
 
Hi Roberto

My recommendation for ML position to 10 milion Euro
Antonio Candreva
Dusan Tadic
Simone Pepe
Camilo Zúñiga
Mehdi Carcela
Clint Dempsey
Liviu Antal

I hope that I help you :)

Thanks a lot mate... Maynor figueroa is proving a beast for me right now although hes a natural left back and ive signed tom ince.. more attacking and hopefully one for the future, Dont recognise some of the ones you mentioned so im going to scout all now... thanks!

You are welcome mate :)
 
Hi guys,

Any ideas/propositions to face big teams in C1. I was thinking of a counter attak system when playing away...
Thanks
 
using the original tactics, During 2 legged european ties, i always got good results in the away game, but then screwed up at home. Feels so fustrating.
 
and my question was if an another role could be more suitable for him !
If you did read the first post you will have read that all players require Composure, Decisions, Determination, Teamwork, Work Rate, Stamina. so converting him to winger is out the question as they need to work hard.

Retrain him to be a Trequarista perhaps and play the 4-4-1-1 tweak?
 
Tried this tactic with Leeds (worked perfectly) and Man U (won everything) but can't get it to work with Bayern? I have the normal team plus Gotze and Lewandowski and results were:



Super Cup: Bayern 0 BVB 0 (I won on penalties)
German Cup: Bielefeild 2 Bayern 3
Dussledorf 0 Bayern 2
Hoffenheim 0 Bayern 1
CL: Celtic 2 Bayern 1
Shalke 2 Bayern 0

Any help please?
 
Just as I said that results then were:

Furth 0 Bayern 0
Mainz 0 Bayern 0
(Here was the change)
Bayern 2 Spurs 0
Bayern 3 Frieburg 0
HSV 0 Bayern 2
Feyenoord 1 Bayern 4
Bayern 9 Frankfurt 0

Works fantastic with my Chester team after promotion from BSN (media predict 16 in BSP) in FA we hammered team from league one fantastic!

 
I started a season with Veroia, small greek team with prediction 14th on 16. By alterning arrigo sacchis 4-4-2, 4-4-1 ans pentor tactic i just won the cup of greece and ended the championship at the 4th place ! I m now fighting for the champion's league place in playoff. :) Very Nice tactic, less attacking comparing to pentor but way better defensive stability. And working with an underdog like Veroia in the little greek championship.
