I am interested when topic is opened again, i saw your tactic and in advance you set almost default, i don't understand why it is useful, can u explain for me please JP and can u give me some advices when play against top 4? Thanks!
What do you mean?
 
In team instruction-->Advance, you set almost default, it is quite like 4-4-2 tactic already there, what should i change when i play against top 4?
 
Hi,
This is a great tactic however im finding one very big problem with it..................................I score loads and loads of goals BUT at the same time i concede loads and loads of goals and im struggling along in 13th place. Im in my first season with Nottingham Forest in the championship.

Any ideas how i can stop the goals leaking in left right and centre?

Cheers.
Well as you can see from my screenshot i finished with the best defence in the division. It must be your defenders,i put a list up of what attributes are important for your defenders.Try putting the defensive line down to normal.

I havent a clue what your going on about,i dont change anything.Read my first post.
 
Been using this for the 2nd season in my hearts game and will use it all season so if you want to see how its doing just take a look ;)
 
do you change them for home/away???? joke!

Im managing stirling in scotland so dont really have the choice to pick the stats as im lucky to get 140 quid per week to sign someone on a free transfer!!! So going to try them out without the liberty of picking and choosing who i can and cant play where and when (my first squad has 16 players and im not going to even bother with my reserves - 5 players - or my youth - totally **** players!) so i will let u know how it goes on
 
below are my exsperiances useing the tactic.
my team consists of great goalkeeper
below average defence but not terrible
a great midfield
average attack
very well blended team
Season goal top half of Finish with with Getafe LIGABBVA time have been managing them 5 Years


First 11 games 5 wins 6 draws very high scoring matches then after that my strikers seem to go dry and couldent score to save there life and ended up losing loads of games due to this i had no choice but to change tactic after game 25 or would have ended up losing my job I think.
So switched to 541 mid attacking due to midfield being my strongest part of team in hope to get some goals.

So this seems like great tactic if strikers are scoring but if they on goal drought I wouldent recomend it.As for the draws I think that more down to my below average defence. Hope my input is of use to some people :)

Well ive never had a problem with my strikers not soring for a long period so i cant explain it.It was in defence i was trying to improve.

Every team is different I'm not bad mouthing the tactic if my strikers would learn to actualy keep scoring instead of only scoring for half season the tactic would probably have worked perfectly for me. But sadly my strikers do have bad habit of going dry half way thro a season don't matter what formation or tactic I use :)

Have a look at my recommended attributes for players in my first post.I can honestly say my strikers have been amazing for me. They scored for fun in the championship and are continuing in the Premier.
 
So far tried this with West Ham, Man City and Charlton Athletic.

If you're letting in lots of goals it means your defenders aren't pacey enough and can't keep up with the to-and-fro. Just lower the line as many people have said.

If your strikers are just not scoring goals focus on the team talks, praise them in the media or organize a friendly. In my Man City game Cardozo just went dry and then I boosted his morale and he scored like an animal. So just make sure that your players are happy and that they are in the right positions :D
 
never liked these on the last fm but i will try again JP. Everyone seems to love them so cant be that bad :)

Well i cant please everyone,and you are harder than most to please. :P
 
Just tried these with Brighton and I've just battered Leeds 3-0 at home oO) Immense tactic
 
This is definitely the most consistent tactic out there. :D
 
Now im in the Premier ive decided to experiment with the defensive line and reduced it to normal in a bid to tighten the defence up.Its went quite well.Here is how im getting on:
 
JP...during the game did you change anything...example when you 1-0 down did you go to overload..or etc
 
First season in the premiership, got the odds of 5001:1 of winning the league. Lost all my 10 pre season friendlies games and was a wee bit worried that I lacked the players required. So far played 9 games in the league with 3 wins 4 draws and 2 losses. Dont have the best squad since I have only been left to focus on free signings but unable to offer high wages.

Somehow they are now expecting wins from opponens like tottenham and fulham even though I put the expectations for the season was to avoid relegation? Forgot to ask what shouts you are all picking? I guess Im going against the tactic by using work into box and pass into space but I beat Blackburn 4-1 Away and Tottenham 3 - 2 home. Used overload for the whole game against Tottenham and was expecting to conceade a few more, do you all stick to just attacking? Still gelling so I guess I will know more later on...

I dont use overload or any other variant,how the tactic is downloaded is how i use it for every game.Its a plug and play tactic.
