V19=Excellent Tactic
The original ChristaianErikisen tactic from this thread had been an initial success in my 1st season of FM15 gaining promotion with my chosen minnows from League2 before i hit a wall and went searching for other answers. 3 frustrating seasons languishing in the glamour of League One with faulty, stuttering tactics & uninspiring performances I eventually built a squad that scraped through the playoffs but was not ready or tactically capable to compete in the Championship
So i came back to this thread and found the
V19!!!!- freshly posted too. Just 25mins post posting actually, and instantly i had a different team.
That was at the start of the season this season, and have now just finished...
From a predicted finish of LAST place…achieved 2nd place and promotion with attempt. i must stress the quality of the squad that has done this makes it all the more remarkable
In the same season i took control of the Australian national team and duly won the Asian Cup destroying Sth Korea 9-2 in the final.
I will say it is does require attention to details and planning to make this work to the extent it can, but thats the way it should be and its all the more rewarding for being so.
E.g its important to know when to Press / Drop. It can be tricky picking which teams use long ball or not. Particularly in the championship i found teams to change around.
The stats only give so much away.
Training is important too as always. I started leaking goals until i focused on Defence and Defensive positioning.
I would recommend the OI settings given by Christian but I didn’t always use these and am uncertain to how much of difference they make in different circumstances.
Minor adjustments will likely help different team e.g. tweaks to the midfielders (DM, CMR) to support and to mark tighter helped me.
Also been experimenting with the fullbacks instructions. in Particular to counter a high percentage of goals from crosses. But i'd like some more help on this.
All this is common knowledge of course, its just nice to have a tactic which is so effective but easily adaptable without ruining its fundamental magic.
Recently Ive also had some remarkable performances using the attacking mentality instead of Control but this is not been tested properly
This tactic is a serious achievement , so Congrats must go to Christian on amazing work! I’m onl.y a season in but its a serious piece of work I can’t wait to see how it continues to perform
v19!!!!!
