Mental tactic this!

Struggled away from home at the start (lost 4 in a row) but it soon started clicking and I won the league on the last day with Liverpool. Crazy amount of goals scored too! Balotelli got more than 50!

Balotelli didn't score a league goal for me haha, where did you play him?
 
Been a bit busy so not had as much time for FM, but I'm finishing my first season as Liverpool manager. Won the league with 2 games left, lost in the CL quarter finals in one of the maddest games ive played, somehow lost to Barca. Gonna carry on with this save as I've really enjoyed it.
 
OP updated, in my second season with Liverpool and we're top of the league after 4 games, averaging 4 goals a game. Brought in Benzema and Thiago and both have been revelations.

Any else got any results?
 
I had without any shadow of a doubt my best ever save combining the two tactics you have posted on this thread.

I was Wolves, and I amassed 114 (yes, 114) points in one season with Wolves.

I also got to the quarter final of the FA Cup losing to Everton (I battered them, should have won)

However I have decided I have half arsed this save up. Basically I didn't buy well and I want to put the emphasis back on youth as I always have done. I want this tactic to become "my philosophy" so to speak. I feel bad because I kind of cheated myself out of the save. It did not feel like a proper game of mine because I was buying every tom **** or harry going and then watching games just in commentary so I got finish the season and see how many records I could break.

That probably makes next to little sense, but I am going to start a new save with Wolves and play the game properly, as I should. Attend every conference, tutor players properly both on the training ground/off it.

One thing is guaranteed with this tactic though and that is chances, chances, chances. The AM is remarkable when picked correctly. I have made an alternative 4-2-3-1 in sacrificing one of the CMs so the Shadow striker can play alongside the two IFs aswell as the main centre forward, whose role is tweaked dependant on who I play (player wise) I am a bit of a False 9/Complete Forward type and that player works a treat. It is still completely your tactic though, just little subtle personal changes.

I will post screenshots as the season goes on. Hats off though sir. As I say I will post screenshots of this season. To say this tactic/thread has not got the attention it deserves is well and truly the understatement of the year!

This tactic should get way more attention then it is currently getting. I am afraid it might be because of your thread title which gives the suggestion that it is one of the "recreate coach/tactic x tactic", which it obviously is but I do feel like you have put your own vision and thought into both tactics as well.

Sadly some people are put off by these kind of tactics (the recreating kind) because in general there is the feeling, because it is recreating something, it is not that succesfull or is only fun for fans of the club/coach/tactic.

However, in this case, this tactic is really really amazing with some very solid attacking play, lots of shots and chances and totally dominant the enemy team. This tactic deserves a spot among the best of the best for the current patch (might even be the best) and should be tried/downloaded more. It deserves more promotion as I have said and will try to do it where I can. Keep up the great work!

I would be delighted to try it mate. Very much so.
 
Testing the 3-5-2 in a save with Sheffield United now. Will post results and the tactic ASAP.
 
I have just won the title with your tactic! :$ Your tactic is the second one I tried and thank goodness it work wonders. Really relieved to find someone make a tactic for Liverpool. Mostly I use 4-3-3.

As you can see I have 1 more matches left but I'm so happy that I decided to give feedback right away lol

The results :
View attachment 308151View attachment 308150View attachment 308149

I know I did terrible in the cup competitions but I lost all of it because my top performers is not playing. Got knock out by Chelsea in Capital One Cup because I fielded a weaker team due to congested fixtures, and I really don't care much about this cup. I also rested my first team both during the draw and the defeat to Brentford; I admit I underestimated them. Though thanks to early knock outs in the cup, fixtures are not congested anymore which helps in the league. You might noticed all my losses happen almost successively, it's because injury prone Sturridge (throughout the season) and Sterling (in early season) got injured when they are at the top of their form.

And later in the season, I found that I have difficulties scoring goals when Sturridge is out due to injury. Magically, eventhough when he didn't score any goals, Sturridge brings out better forms from my other top performing players who are dormant when Sturridge is injured. If Sturridge is fit during the Bayern Munich game, I'm sure I stand a chance to win. So I really suffered during Sturridge absence.

I use 4-3-3 all the time and seeing that it's hard to score goals without Sturridge I decided to give 4-1-2-1-2 a try and it worked; at least to not lose a match. Coutinho getting the most out of that tactic. Unfortunately I have very limited amount of strikers so it doesn't work as well as 4-3-3.

So all in all, if this tactic works in second season as well as the first season, winning all trophies is a possibility if I can reduce my dependence on Sturridge and have better quality squad depth. Thank you XD
