Works with Low/Top Teams
Keep players morale up and don't bring them to field while they are exhausted
Better to have a full squad of 22 players as in the guide below so you can rest your main squad in busy days
Best to have inverted Inside forwards if possible
Download Tactic
Advanced Mode
Introduction
A narrow High press and creativity tactic with 3 Inside Forwards aims to get the max effort out of the team lines to massive attack and create chances scoring goals as much as possible closing down high the Sweeper Keeper will get forward to help the defenders and launch long range killer balls defenders will close the area and deflect any dangerous attempt Attacking FullBacks will try to cross high to the attackers and arrive late to the area Defensive middfielders will close the gaps in midfield with defensive/offensive duties Inside forwards will dribble behind the opponent defending line trying to score and creat chances to the Poacher who will be ready to recieve any ball in front of the box
This tactic is mainly made for an underdog team "Derby" the Npower Championship 2nd league in England mostly consists of youth players at the age of 16-17 and works like charm with any other low/top team as you will see in the guide below
Main weakness of this tactic is the opponent good wingers with killer crossings but this is usually absorbed by the good defense instructions along with PPM and overwhelmed by the high amount of goals scored
The ME of FM13 suddenly decide to make your team lose or get injured for 1-3 months in nonsense basis so I sometime replay matches without changing anything to get a complete different result losing will turn to victory you can always save the game right before you team submit to start the next match
Start
No players are signed I use the main squad along with reserved/Youth players to fill empty positions usually 4-5 star players in recommendation to create a 22 player squad splitted into 2 teams and get rid of any other players who are not needed anymore training any player into his new position if he can fit there
1st things to do right at the start of the game is to plug the tactic and set all General/Match/Individual Training along with staff responsibilities and talk to the board to get upgrades as this priority Junior Coaching/Youth Reqruitment Network/Training and youth facilities and level/Coaches allowed/Salaries and so on check oftenly to get as much upgrades
Squad
Try to get a squad of 22 good players out of the club without buying if possible including youth hot prospects and split them to 2 teams 1 is main 2 is backup and get them into match fitness asap with some frindly matches during pre season so they can get a good progress in training
Derby Squad for example
View attachment 361861View attachment 361862
Get rid of any other player who is not need by selling them and so and only register those 22 when you've asked for that before the season starts
View attachment 361863
You sure gonna need to play your team2 in busy days like this one
View attachment 361865
If you stick to playing with your first team and you didn't really need your team 2 then set them to be available for reserved matches for 45 minutes
View attachment 361864
So they can keep in fitness and training progress
Since you're at start of pre season pick a captain for main team and a vice captain for the 2nd team even if they get unhappy about it within 2 winning frindly matches this anger gonna be history
like in Derby Squad Captains
View attachment 361866
Pick the best in influence from both teams
Talk to the mad player who lost captaincy aswell he usually accept it when you tell him he's professional and need to carry on
View attachment 361867
Set your 2 Poachers to take penalties as a bonus to their annual goal records
as they rarely happen to miss even if they are low in stat

Individual Training
For this tactic it's important to set the player indv training to the same position he playsin the tactic for example if you dont have an Inside Forward but you have a winger then set his indv training to Inside forward as you see in this image:
View attachment 361839
This can be done by right click on player name and select the training as shown above
Execute this with all your 22 players
Focus Intensity
Best to Set it to High as shown below
View attachment 361840
Can be done by clicking on player name > Training
For players 30+ in age it's better to set it to light since they usually drop in progress
Position Training
For example if you don't have an AML and you played an MC in this position while he appears in yellow/red/lightgreen circle it's time to train him to his new position until he gets used to it "green" then you can remove this training schedule as shown here

These are some useful PPMs theres always a place for your imagination to add what fits your player stats and your style of playing specially when you like to ignore about numbers
or you can just listen to your staff suggestions about them through the backroom advice
Check on main indvidual training schedule occasionaly to see who is progressing well "GreenArrow" or who is dropping down "RedArrow" try to reduse intensity to those who drop down or feeling unhappy from here

Staff
Get the best Director of Football and Head of Youth Development your club can afford and hand them some responsibilities if you are not willing to pay more time to sign the excellent staff by your self
Best to get high coaches of 4-5 stars if possible
Suggestions
Director of Football for Low Teams
Alan Hill
View attachment 361857
He usually can sign the best staff your club can afford so hand him the duties and terminate those low coaches
Director of Football for Top Teams
Pantaleo Corvinho
View attachment 361860
One of the best you can get
Club Upgrades
View attachment 361871
Priority depends on your style if you are planning for long term playing with the club then go for Junior Coaching> Youth Network> Training and youth facilities
If your going for a short term with some new player contracting then go for transfer pudget and so.

Forza Lazio

A tough team to manage with mostly old players and aggressive attitudes toward training and opponents
Playing in a slow league with an aggressive atmosphere causing players to get booked most of the time with many red cards to the defensive midfielders kept issuing warnings to them to calm down
