CONQUEROR !

Season 1 Review - Manchester United

Very decent results for my first full season of FM 16

Won the league
Knocked out in UCL first knockout stage by Real Madrid
FA CUP, lost semi-final on pens to Spurs
League Cup, knocked out in first game vs Reading!

Team was very young and not fully optimized regarding PPMs - Mata as main AMC with Comes Deep to Get Ball and Schneiderlin at CDM with Gets Forward.

Depay was main ST, Martial did not perform well.

Felipe Anderson and Andrija Zivkovic were amazing at ML and MR.

All in all can see how good the formation is, very defensively strong but did not score too many goals, not sure if to be expected or because of team.

Might push on to season 2 and optimize the team...

Pushing the left midfield up to a AML

TFF9:

I need to move up the wide left midfielder to a AML role, inside forward in order to accommodate my best players.

Can you give me any tips of advice? Should I man mark the opposition right mid for example? thank you
 
Ok,now im on a PC and not on my phone I can elaborate on why I feel V2 is better than V12.
I play man marking and watch key highlights, and have been using V2 for 4 seasons, and won consecutive promotions from Vanarama North to currently top of League 1.
I have removed hard tackling and do OP instructions as in V12.
I switched to V12 as I was 15 points clear at the top of league 1, and as everyone was raving about it , it was fluid as a tactic when I uploaded it and I had the players to accommodate V12 I thought I'd give it a go.
I noticed from watching the matches that the attacking midfielder drags my team out of position, the wingers were coming in field really deep making it very narrow and busy in the middle of the pitch, leaving the full backs isolated out wide.
He was also making the same runs as my striker and both ending up in each other's way, or both of them stood in the wrong place.
It also left the centre mid a bit lost and just running around always behind play.
Now this may be just me, I gave it 10 matches and switched back to V2 as it was getting frustrating to watch and the results were becoming poor (including a 5-1 loss to ****** Rotherham) it may just not suit lower league teams, but I have decent players who are brilliant in V2.

As a foot note, I switched back to V2 then lost 4 in a row, until I realised I'd been playing the time wasting version I'd made for all the matches...at that point I didn’t save and went to bed in a strop!!!

Hi All,

I just thought i'd post my results on a 433 tweak of the masters tactic. i have made only minor changes due to wanting to try out 3 strikers. I began to use it halfway during the season after failing to have any success with other 433 traditional tactics on various threads.

STL/R to take corners.

STR to man mark.

I have used The instant result tactic v11 as a base since i play classic and instant result most matches (i've only played the champs league knockout matches using same tactics and using TFF's marking and OI's.)

Before I say anything else;

Yes i am in 2028, however the average age of my squad is low 20's with most players coming from the youth team and not near the top of their game.

I am not saying this is a better tactic, it's worked for me and if anyone would like to try i can upload the tweak.

Thanks again TFF, you are a legend

If you also use FM Scout to find coaches for your team then you don't need scouts at all but I like to search coaches through the game so to do that I still need a good scouting knowledge

Dude, I see at your screenshots that you have 200+ unread mails in your Inbox and it means that you just went on Holiday to post these bullshit screenshots...

Next time when you are going to post similar bullshit, you'd pay better attentions to details...

And get a life...
