BTW, will you make a FM15 version of your COBRA 361 tactic? ;)

i've been trying! but results were a bit inconsistent, sometimes my players played brilliantly then absolute *****, so it will need more work. i'll release another tactic before the cobra though

Good luck! I have been trying a similar formation (3-1-4-2), and it's been inconsistent also. Seems to score a lot, but the defence needs to be sorted. I posted it in my FM13 tactic thread because a few people requested it, but it's still in early stages.
 
Going to try this with my Man Utd Team in season 3. My 11 will look something like:

GK: De Gea/Hadzikic
DR: Rafael/Danilo
DC: Jones/Balanta/Rojo/Smalling
DL: Shaw/Sandro
MR: Januzaj/Bruma
MCR: Romero/Herrera
MCL: Mata
ML: Di Maria
DLF: Rooney/Henriquez
AF: Falcao/Destro


Looking forward to seeing it in action :)

With this formation, it would have to be like this:

Aim at: SHORT

gk - default
dr - back
dcr - at. far
dcl - st. far
dl - back
mcr - default
mcl - deep
ml - default
amr - default
stc - default
stcl- keeper

IMPORTANT: DR takes right corner, DL takes left corner.

You will have only one player back, but trust me, you will score a lot more and the opposition will rarely take advantage of it. Try this exact setup for a few games and tell me if it works.

it certainly produces more threat, but i haven't managed to score, usually the shot is either blocked or i lose the scramble in the box. i think it's a matter of time though, good shout
 
I'm 8 matches old on my Man Utd 3rd season save with this tactic. 7 wins 1 draw. I've got 4 players sent off since and many more on yellows. Anyone with same issue? I might take off Hard Tackling on the OI. Let's see how it goes.
 
First of all, Great Tactic. Been suffering some set backs though, been going 2-0 up and then losing 2-3.
So i have tweaked the tactic and saved a CONTAIN version to stop that happening, use around the 70-75min mark of the match
Also change the Fullbacks, wide players and Complete Forward to SUPPORT duty. Seems towork for me so far.
Also change some of the TI's Pic attached.
Thanks again to the author loving the game again.

Tried this tactic for 5/6 games now in my Man Utd save.

Playing some lovely football, and have won all of the games, including a 5-0 away win at fenerbache and a 2-0 away win at man city. And I have yet to concede in any of those 5/6 games, so overall very nice.

Noticed that I cant seem to get the CF into the game, struggles to get over 6.9 for his rating. I have played falcao and Destro there.

Also seem to win an astonishing amount of penalties. I won and scored 6 penalties in 3 games, is this common for other people using this tactic? or maybe it is Januzaj's diving ;)


Overall, love the tactic. Not exploiting anything, just very nice solid football.

Sure, I am at work at the moment so can't show any screen shots but my team/squad is as follows:

GK: De Gea (Play Osman Hadzikic(regen?) in cup games or against weak teams)

DR: I rotate with Rafael and Danilo, I play who ever has highest Fitness %

DL: I rotate with Shaw and Alex Sandro, again play most fit player

DC: Rotate with Jones, Rojo, Balanta and Smalling, playing highest fitness %

DLP: Rotate with Romero and Tielemans

RPM: Rotate Mata and Herrera

WPM: Di Maria/Bruma

AP: Januzaj/Bruma

DLF: Rotate Rooney and Henriquez

CF: Rotate Falcao and Destro


Latest result was a 4-0 win in the home fixture vs Fenerbache

i don't usually get that many bookings, despite the hard tackling, you can see if it works, i also fine my players who get red cards

is the entire tweak just for the contain version, or have you tweaked the player duties in the original version?

Thanks. Almost similar line up but my defence are quite leaky.
 
I have Match prep set to Def. Positioning as well, not sure if that it something you haven't set?

I am 3 seasons in so Jones, Rojo and Balanta are all World Class defenders now, Smalling is my weakest CB and he is still not bad.

Maybe his PPMs are interrtuping their play? yes lots of penalties, opposition get frustrated ;)

Same. Match Prep is Def. Pos. 3rd season as well with Jones, Balanta, Evans and Smalling. Evans my weakest link probably.

I still have Rojo though, rotating with Shaw. I'm putting back the hard tackle on OI and see how it goes.

So what PPM should be avoided? Hold up play?
Click to expand...

i hate PPMs in general like hold up play, stops play, shoots from distance - they're annoying.

but it's weird that Falcao doesn't work, he might not be the most physical player as a complete forward he lacks some height, but his heading is excellent so he should work. does he get into scoring positions?
