Deadly Circle - A good old fashioned 4-4-2

[Tyke19]

Struggled to get into a save on this FM due to tactics and most of the goals coming from corners and throw ins etc, and with them all being 433's it's been frustrating

i've tried making my own 442 formations without any success, i can't wait to try this! Going to start a new save and will keep you updated..

just a few questions
what type of football does it play? is it good on the eye?

can't beat a good old 442 formation!

Are you trying to get 200 goals in 38 matches? Are you on attack or counter?

both mate

 

[tzahy]

with the tactic in the OP ? original ?

with the tactic in the op and counter on hard away matches

 

[ParkTheBus]

amazing tactic... been using everything as normal, and been winning the PL with Hull first season, no transfers! Just had chelsea (2nd) away, and decided to play counter at the start, amazing.

 

[ParkTheBus]

hahahah... starting to think counter is the way to go on the hard matches...

attacking is still great... beat aston villa 6-0 next game with normal tactic

For me, case closed. Original with counter is the best. Had also previously tested the original one (attacking mentality), did 99 pts.

At home I'm always playing with attacking and away I switch between attacking and counter depends on what team I'm facing. :wub:

[dimartino]

what team are you playing?

My usual test consists in 10 league matches, with weak Arouca in portuguese first division. I usually repeat this 10 matches 5 times, to eliminate randomness.

 

[ruudvanwarren]

Knew you would be onto this in no time! We do love a good old 442 don't we haha

Honestly it's working a treat...it feels so so stable...against tough teams away on counter that's my only tweak!!
