If your players weren't familiar with the tactic at all(they start learning it from zero level) then it might take a while, you can speed up "learning" process by setting the match preparation focus to "Match Tactic" and arrange 9-11 friendly matches


I notice that the quality of your training facilities makes impact but I'm not 100% sure about that

Hello there,

i have always been a fan of TFF's tactics, especially "Battlemaster" in FM 16 was incredible for me.

However, something about this tactic isn't fine. It has potential though, but i feel that it's not efficient enough. So i decided to change a few things. Now im satisfied. I wanted to share it with you guys. TFF can read this and the improvement on this tactics can go on.

My team wasn't creating enough CCC the season before, so i didn't score many goals. As you can see, i added the options "exploit the middle", "pass into space" and "work ball into box". I changed the team shape to fluid. My team is not great but with these additions it plays like barcelona, especially at home. The aim is to abuse the middle of the pitch and it totally works. I am using the striker version.

Now i have lots of CCC's and lots of more scored goals. The defense is also decent though. Lots of goals come from through balls, showing nice football.

Maybe you guys test this out and share your thoughts? Thank you!

Agreed, the last versions are great. I managed to take West Ham from 14th position to 7th since joining in Dec.2018, 11 clean sheets along the way for Kevin Trapp, and 11 goals for Calleri.

Sounds crazy but if I wanted to make this tactic a little LESS effective, what would be the things to tweak?

Lol. Loved your comment. Did it myself. By copying CM(d) role from Waste Time tactic to the BWM(s) role. And also changing WB(s)to WB(d).

Also, adding manual man marking side AMs set to poke opposition's Fullbacks.

And guess what, 1 goal conceded in last 13 matches in Premier League with West Ham, and unnoticeable effect on the goals scored. Prediction: 10th

So... going back to your question, nope, no freaking idea !!!

Haha brilliant. Don't get me wrong I love winning every game but I have a very average squad and I just want to dial it back to the point where I'm overachieving but to a believable level!

Take nothing away from the OP, it's an awesome tactic.

I wonder about if I make it more of a 532 and drop the AM into CM - it seems to be the AMs that make everything so lethal.
 
Such a stupid part of this game with the roles that you can't change tackling and other parts with some of them. What do people tend to do if the BWM is picking up a lot of yellow cards? I mean, I have Wanyama who has naturally high aggression, which could be a reason for cards, but his natural role is BWM...just doesn't make sense!!! You should be able to change it. It's such wank!!!

Here's what TFF suggests to do if your BWM gets booked (it's taken from the OP)



Please notice that you can't add "Easy Off Tackles" PI to BWM(S) and if your BWM(S) gets booked during a match then change his role to CM(S) and "Easy Off Tackles" PI.
 
Pogba

I have Pogba on my team, but searching for the OP filters, I do not find the best position to use it. Even though it searches for all the positions of the filters, it does not appear as a player option in any of them.

Of course in the filters I put the players of the team appear.

Because of the PPMs he owns, is he not suitable for use in the Demolisher tactic?

you can play him anywhere and im sure hed do well. you wouldnt chose peter crouch over luis suarez just cause suarez has beats the offside trap. players that good can do well even if they have a ppm that tff says is 'bad'
 
Anyone got any thoughts on how I could dial back the effectiveness of this tactic just a small amount? It's great winning every game but I have a pretty average squad and I just want to dial it back to the point where I'm overachieving but not to a crazy level.

Just use any default 4-3-3 tactic for some matches to get some loses :)

I really like the actual tactic and formation - I just wanted to somehow make it a little less insanely good haha. Like turning it down from a 10 to an 8. Easier said than done though I guess!

Pogba will be godlike at any position in this tactic :)
