Huge increases in reputation from overachieving in the Europa League allowed me to get in some good loan signings for no wages, a few good regens and a core of Welsh international players.

Got this tactic and team-building down to a tee now, only need an average team with the right atts in the right places to achieve great success :)

care to share?
 
Just had a bit of a break from FM for a while as I was busy coaching, then loaded it up last week. Hooked again :)
 
I had a save with Manchester United using this tactic and both my strikers(Rooney and Hernandez) were prolific, especially Rooney, and Valencia was quite incredible as well. However, I have since lost the save and I had attempts with Napoli, Milan, Roma and even Arsenal but I just do not seem to get the results like I did with United. (In the Arsenal save, I had Jovetic, Cavani and Soldado and none of them scored a goal until the sixth or seventh league game.) The strikers just cannot score goals and the wingers often get 6.5 and below ratings. I don't know what's gone wrong(using the original tactic), any suggestions?

Cheers! My plan is to turn the Welsh League into the most prestigious league in the world so I feel it's going to take me a while. Club Reputations are up to National for a few and Bangor, TNS and Haverfordwest all pro now, but the league reputation up to league 1 standard.

It seems like your strikers don't seem to be getting the service they require. If i'm struggling to create chances I often switch to Attacking Movement in training for a few games, and of course shuffle the front four around a bit.
 
Hi Seanhrfc,
first of all thank you for a great tactic all the way from Copenhagen Denmark :-) Have a difficult away game against Inter and two matches against Man City. Should I put my defensive wingers on??
 
nice!!! Won 2-0 away against Inter and through to teh CL final after penalty shootout win against Man City!!

Congrats. Yes its all about the combinations. I always have two sets of MR/L, attack minded ones and more defensive ones. Also I have the same system for the DMs. In tough away games the more defensive players play.
 
is there a player filter for this tactic to download? one on op didnt work?
 
For some reason I am unable to edit the OP. A few pages back someone posted a link for one I think.
 
Page 137. Post 1361 for the player filter download if anyone's interested:)
