Bluth's Fargo

Here's my newest tactic, based off of the best show currently on television - Fargo. If you watch, you know that everyone is hiding something, nobody is quite telling the truth. Same thing with each position in this tactic. There's more than meets the eye to each position...

There are no strikers, but the 3 AMC's are shifty and will surge forward to attack before retreating to defend. Same with the wingers and the mid - everyone goes forward and back. Even the central defenders push higher up and get further forward, contributing key passes to the wide men and sometimes through the middle.

Creates pretty crazy CCC's consistently (5+). Scoring will be spread out among the AMC's, though the 2 outside ones will get plenty of assists too. Pretty strong defense (especially for FM 14's ridiculous match engine).

Here's the formation.

Tactic is good in scoring and defending. My Arsenal lead the league with 74 goals, and let in the fewest with 32. My QPR lead their league with 105 goals for and only 34 for, for a goal difference of +71.

It plays easy on the eye as well, much like the cinematic scenes of Fargo. Beautiful, short passing, with the occasional killer through ball that opens up the defense and leaves them staring at you as you run onto goal unobstructed. Lots of crosses from goals and great team build-up goals. Plays beautiful on an individual and team level. I find myself watching more than just the key highlights, so I can take in the full team movement.

Look at those average ratings at the end of the season

I leave training and OI to the AssMan. Player instructions are set and are very important to leave, because each player has the specific duties that work for them and for the team.

Give it a try - let me know how it goes!

Still using your last one! Will try this with a new save today and see how it goes...
 
had a quick go with this with my Newcastle side, every thing on awkward, and was playing Spurs away and the score line was 0-0

BUT!!!!!! I had over 65% possession, 25 shots - 19 on target - 92% passing rate - 89% tackling rate - 78% headers won and my squad was

GK - Krull
CB - Collo, Mbiwa, Willo
CWB - Santon, Debuchy
A - Tiote
DLP - Anita
3 AMC - Marv, Pratto, Sissoko - so only 1 natural AMC ( Marv )

so this tactic looks immense and needs to be out there more

Nice stats! Shame about the 0-0. It does work best with natural AMC's and hopefully if tactic gets more fluid they'll get better at converting all of those chances (H)

Hello, GobBluthJD which training I should use ?

I leave it to AssMan, but probably Tactics very high in preseason or until it's fluid, then balanced or team cohesion, and match training to def. set pieces, cause this match engine gives up so many cheap goals off of free kicks!

Any team will be interesting. I've not tested it on FMC at all (never even tried that mode yet!), so I'll be curious to see how it works out there 8-|

Ouch, that's brutal! I'm gonna give it a go with Wolfsburg and see what happens. If I'm heavily favored to lose, I'll change it from Attacking to Control, and if I take a lead in the last half of the game and I'm not dominating, I'll switch it to Counter.

Not bad - those 0-1 losses are the most annoying thing in FM14! I'm experimenting with different roles for the back 3 and the DM to see if I can tighten up the defense even more - hopefully that will help things
 
Here are the Wolfsburg results so far.

Started off rough in the preseason - they couldn't do anything right until the tactic got way up towards almost fluid. Since then, things have been clicking. 4 wins and 1 draw in the league so far. Not scoring a huge amount like my other teams, but have only conceded one goal in 5 games.

I did change the the DM to a BWM, as that fit Wolfsburg's players better. But the defense has been really good, so I might try that switch with a few other teams too and see if they are as strong at back as my Wolfsburg team is now!
 
This tactic is fantastic! You've done great work! I'm currently going on top in 1st season with Zulte Waregem in Belgium (med pred. 10th)
