First game of the season, 2018/2019 European Qualifier and I get a record scoreline. Only 4 goals from "set pieces" and that's with their keeper pulling off a ridiculous amount of saves. It's not reliant on them. Yes it gets goals from them but the tactic holds it's own without them.
My point is, if you follow the opening post instructions, watch the video, make sure you've loaded up the tactic correctly, have players akin to the filters, make sure the morale is good and don't play unfit players then I genuinely cannot get how you don't succeed.
I'm gonna bail again from this thread. I'm just repeating myself and tbh it's getting frustrating as I want to help folk but at the same time everything that needs to be said has already been stated, mainly due to some fantastic queries from other member early doors when this was being worked on. If in doubt go to the opening post and watch the video.
I'm exceptionally happy with this tactic. If e-sports with FM is not a thing next year i'll upload a belter for each m.e. patch for FM20 when it's released.
Cheers and shout out to wkdsoul for the awesome moderation and encouragement.

Thank you!
First of all, hats off for this great tactic, it works for sure (see screenshot below from my first season using it, with Parma for their first season back in Serie A - prediction 15th)
One question thought, it seems this tactic does take a lot of risks on set pieces and throws, and as a result, despite having the second best attack in the league, I also had the 17th “best” defence. Although I can understand it’s the necessary disadvantage that makes the tactic score so many goals, I’ve found the stat below, mistakes by players, and pretty much my whole team leads the stat, quite comfortably as well... and it’s often due to making a stupid (and irrational) pass in a delicate situation, when options were available...
So I was wondering, is that normal, is it due to the poor level of my players, is it something I can fix somehow? Anyone experiencing that issue?
Thanks for the feedback, and again great job on that 4-4-2!
This might be a stupid question. How do I make sure they aren't? Not play players in those positions who have high stats in set pieces?
