DEMOLISHER !

Great tactic, I am using the striker tactic.
Currently I'm playing Fulham, went up as champions with 99 points.

Now after 4 games in the PL I'm sitting 4th
 
I am giving this tactic a change with Roda JC in the Netherlands. A team who has no really outstanding players and fight against relegation the last 3 years in the Dutch League.
I made no Tranfers in! and did NOT use intant result

STRIKERLESS
Friendly Home VS Roda JC B 2-2 Not quite dominating my B team and gave away a 2-0 lead

Friendly Home VS Roda JC -19 4-2 Again not dominating and let them come to 1-1 and 3-2 before making the 4-2

Friendly Away VS Racing Mechelen (BEL 3rd Amateur Div) 0-2 Had difficulties again this non league team. Got penalty to ensure win and a red card (77min)

Friendly Away VS Royal Antwerp (BEL 2nd Division) 0-4 Gave all players a rest day after the previous match. After the red card dominated match in possesion and gave NO chances to the opponent. Was ahead 0-2 within 20 Minutes. Red card opponent happend just before the 0-3

Friendly Home VS SV Hönnepel (German Lower div) 3-0 Again a quick 2-0 lead (13 min). In the 2nd half after a 3-0 lead i made some changes (f.e. a Striker who was not an AMC). Nothing important happened :-(

Friendy Home VS vv Cesar (Dutch Lower div) 7-0 Again gave all players a rest day after previous match. Gave some prospects (3) a change to play. 3-0 ahead after 20 minutes. Leading 4-0 at half time i gave my key players a rest. The 3 prospects got some minutes In the second half we exended our lead to 7-0. It seems like they know what to do!

Friendly Home VS EHC (Dutch 5th Div) 2-0 After that large victory i gave all players 2 days rest and kept the 3 prospects in the team. 1 of them in the starting 11. He scored after 10 minutes. But it was still only 1-0 at half time. In the second half my substituted Prospect made the 2-0. Gave almost no chances to the opponent.

League Home VS Heerenveen 2-0 Now for the real test with equal or better oppenents. Gave a rest day after previous match. Morale is superb.Do not have the correct players f.e. DCL is right footed. Got no lefty. Formation knowledge is not up to 90% so i keep training this in match preperation. Had a couple of small chances in the first half but ended up 0-0. Got 1-0 ahead and creating more chance. Made no changes untill the 70 minute und substituted 2 players. The last 10 minutes we were lucky they hit the crossbar but then again we missed a chance one on one. In the injury time they made an own goal.

League Away VS Ajax 2-0 Visiting Ajax, one of the canidates for the title. Loosing here would be no shame and not to blame on the tactic. Ajax played 0-0 in their first match against AZ so who knows what can happen. Both teams did not create any changes in the first 20 minutes. Got lucky when they hit the crossbar. End of the first half 0-0. No substiutions made. In the 70th minute i substituted a tired MCL and a nerveus AMCL. They scored the 1-0 right after that and also the 2-0 but again this is no shame when you have players like Klaassen, Onana or Ziycech.

League Home VS PSV Eindhoven 0-0 Another canidate for the title and like Ajax better players. I do not expect this team to beat Barcelona 4-0 in the Champions League final ;-)
Anyway a loss is calculated. After the defeat the morale dropped to Pretty bad which is not good for the team. We were the better team in the first half and creating some big chances. Halftime 0-0. After the break they got their first real chance but it was offside. Got some one on ones in the second half but after 70 minutes still 0-0. I tried a winger as an AMC (since i had no ones left). PSV missed a penalty (great keeping). Ended the game 0-0 but with far more chances then PSV.

League Away VS Feyenoord 2-1 Luck of the draw but the 3rd canidate for the title (actually they won it in real life this season). They lost their first 3 matches and are ranked 18th. In Real life they were NR 1 after day 1 and in the end.
Anyway, we need points. They started better and we were lucky some times. Unfortunately they scored after 30 minutes. Seems like we have the away syndrome. Luckely we got the 1-1 before halftime but again we fail short as they almost imidately after scored the 2-1. I was thinking on setting the formation on attack. i did this the last 20 Minutes but after a red card i changed it back.

This is not going like i hoped :-( I had a 4-1-4-1 Tactic in FM2015 where i dominated the EPL and Europe with Bristol Rovers after we promoted every year.

Cup Away Rijnsburgse Boys (Dutch 4th Division) 0-2 A cup match. Normally i give my key players rest but not now. This match must be won. Got 2 disallowed goals (offside) in the first 20 minutes. So frustating but a couple of minutes later we finally scored the 0-1. Halftime. We almost gaven no chances to the opponent but still the lead is 0-1 after 60 minutes. In the last half hour we scored the 0-2. Created not much after the 0-2

From this point forward i went on holiday to speed things up (not sure if that changes alot but i kept the training and tactic) and these were the results:

League Home ADO Den Haag 2-0
League Away Heracles 1-2
League Home FC Twente 3-0
League Away Vitesse 1-0
Cup Away Flevo Boys 1-2
League Home AZ 1-0
League Away Willem II 1-1

Result so far:

Ranked: 4th
Prediction: 13th
Won: 5
Draw: 2
Lost: 3
Points: 17
GF: 12
GA: 7

i guess it workes even better if you can buy better players or the correct players but for an below avarage team and no transers it worked great!
Giving the striker opion a chance in my next lower team test.
 
Just giving my 2 cents about Instant Result/Simulate match: I played 2.5 seasons using the simulate match, trying to find a consistent tactic, without sucess. I'm playing LLM, and now I'm at league 2. After spending half the season buried into relegation zone I stopped using simulation so I could fix the problems. Actually playing the game has improved a lot my results, wihtout changing anything. So for me, simulate match is not as near as effective as actually playing the match.
 
This time i tested the Striker version with Roda JC. Again no transfers in! I set the tactic and training and went on holiday. I know i can make the difference when i play the game myself but i would love to see the differences with both tactics.

Anyway here are the results:

Friendly Home VS Roda JC B 2-1
Friendly Home VS Roda JC -19 2-0
Friendly Away VS Bocholter vv 0-1
Friendly Home VS Anadol 6-0
Friendly Away VS Tongeren 0-5
Friendly Home VS Tennef 3-0
Friendly Home VS Friedorf 3-1
Friendly Home VS Chevremont 4-1
League Away VS Willem II 1-2
League Home VS NEC 2-0
League Home VS PEC Zwolle 2-0
League Away VS Go Ahead Eagles 0-1
Cup Home VS Fortuna Wormerveer 5-0
League Away VS Sparta 0-3
League Home VS Ajax 6-2
League Home VS Fc Twente 4-2
League Away VS ADO Den Haag 1-4
Cup Home VS Reusel Sport 5-0
League Away VS Heracles 1-1
League Home VS Excelsior 0-1

After 10 games
Ranked: 1th
Prediction: 13th
Won: 8
Draw: 1
Lost: 1
Points:25
GF: 25
GA: 8

Seems that this one works better. I also prefer a striker
 
Did someone compare this tactic with 4-3-3 FOLLIA LEGGENDA 3 SS from another topic?

All of the 3430 are pretty similar with only slight variations in roles in CM, if you have the right team for the you can hammer most teams, but comparatively, little between them.
 
Tactic is working great but is anyone else having problems with conceding a lot of set piece goals and penalties.

Try CFM or Vitrex easily the best around this year. Or Gunzo if you can find a free link

Nah, i only reshift stuff due to playing windowless on a small laptop. Its not a complete skin, jsut bits from for 16 carried over into screen i uses most, player club etc.
 
When i set uped training focus as it should be at the first page then my team started to playing worse and when i set it up back again by asistant manager my team was playing good again, strange?

When using the Strikerless formation, do people retrain their strikers to the SS potion or do they just sell their strikers and buy more suitable players for those position?

For me it depends how many time it takes to train AMC position for a striker, for many good strikers it takes about only few months to get 18+ rating for AMC so there's no point selling them
