Yeah I hate it when I win the Champions League with Chelsea or something in the first season and you then are the most reputable team in the world with perhaps... not the best team. (Chelsea are a great team all round but their attackers being Oscar, Hazard and Costa aren't the best in the world) so you can never really break teams down, I just increase mentality.

I really do nothing special here... I initiate private chat only if player has some concerns, usually it's about his contract.

I don't praise or criticize players for bad or good form because I find such micro management is boring... Yes, sometimes it can give additional morale boost but I find it's insufficient. ;)
 
do you use your wn team talk??and what about turn over??? thanks
 
do you rotate your team???
about team talk and press conference I alway send assistant because I tried many times to handle but nothing boosted...

Of course I rotate team ;) It's just imposible to play without rotation and also I do subs about 65-70 min :P

I do the same... I let my assistant manager handle press conferences. I usually have assistant manager with high mental attributes such Motivation, Determination, Level of Discipline and he handles press conferences just fine... almost always few players have morale boost.

Btw, there's an option you can "tick" it and he will be handle press conference all the time and you don’t need send him every time.

For real ?? I took to Bordeaux on November 23 in the last classified position. 2 wins 2 draws 10 losses

Matches





Ligue 1



Probablemtente, I lost at the worst possible moment, because a tie would have given me the direct pass to the Group Stage of the Champions League
 
Nice results chatin ;)

this tactic is fantastic... thanks to TFF9 for that :)

I'm now trying to tweaking this tactic to use one striker :P don't know if it would work but will see :)

This tactic is absolutely amazing! Too bad I can't upload any screens of it but it's going superb!
 
can i switch player roles and instructions for DR/DL (DR will be complete wingback and DR will be full back)?? and if i do that i suppose i must switch MCR and MCL(attack/support) right ???

Yes, in this case you should mirror the whole tactic including thrown-in set piece.

Simple switch duties isn’t enough your should mirror all PIs or you can simple move MCL to MCR and MCR to MCL positions which will be much faster.

AllanT, here's different point of view :P

For example, after 35 min of the first half your team hasn't created a single chance and opposition has created 1-2 chances. You are unhappy and start tweaking but you don't know if you keep using this tactic without tweaks then rest of the match your team would create 10 CCC and opposition zero chances but you tweaked it and made it worse and your team didn’t create a single chances after your tweaks.

In other words, you never know when your team will have chances it could at any point of the match.

Good example is my game against Swansea. I was down by 3 goals after 1st half(conceded 2 goals from stupid corner) and my team hadn't created a single chance in 1st half but I didn't panicked and only switches for Overload version because I knew how strong is this tactic and what it capable of and I was right in 2nd half I created 7 CCC and won 3-4 but what would happened if I started tweaked it?

I think you've missed my point here or maybe i didn't get it across properly. I don't tweak the base tactic, it works fine as it is. I'll give an example of what i mean.

I'm playing against a very strong team and im sitting with a very deep D-Line and they are having numerous chances against me. So i decide to change something. For the purpose of my example, lets say that i decide to swap to "push Higher up" and put my fastest CD as Covering. There's a few potential outcomes.

1 - They score
2 - I score
3 - No notable action that is shown (depending on your highlights set up)
4 - One team starts dominating and having chances and missing with shots
5 - One team starts dominating and having chances and keeper saves or defenders tackle/clear
6 - One team starts dominating and hitting woodwork, goals disallowed or cleared off the line
7 - No notable action but players from one team get either booked or injured

If i get option 1, then i know then i need to change the teams mentality slightly. If its on control, then a swap to Attacking or Standard will normally sort it out. The AI generally wont score a goal then swap to "park the bus" unless there is not much time remaining.

If i get 3 or 7 then i revert back to how it was and change something else.

If i get 4, 5 or 6 then i know that something minor needs changing like swapping "Be more expressive" to "Be more Disciplined" for example.

If i score then 90% of the time, all that needs changing is one thing. 75% of the time, its a mentality change, but not always. Usually a quick swap from control to Attacking, or to Standard means you'll score again a few minutes later. The other times it usually revolves around the tempo of your play ie changing from Much lower, to Lower or Lower to Higher for example. It just depends on the team you are playing against.

Naturally if i swap something and its not working, i go back to how it was set before and look at something else.

Here's a few pics to show you how effective my tinkering has been. As i say though, i do not change anything permanently. It works great as it is. I just slightly adjust things mid game to compensate for mid match AI changes, then start all over again in the next match.

Notice the time difference between the goals scored. You'll see a burst of goals in a short space of time, then nothing for 10-15 mins. This is when they have countered my tactics and once i've found the correct bit of the tactic to amend, and then there's another burst of goals.

This has the potential to work on every single game you play as remember but odds on it wont, this is just a computer program and once you press the right button, you'll beat it. Simple as that. Naturally better AI managers can sometimes alternate their tactical approach more than the lesser AI managers so i'm not saying you can get 11-0 or 8-0 wins every week. All i'm saying, is like any computer program, there's a way to hack it as long as your team is decent.

Here's my results this season so far, including the 36 game unbeaten run in all competitions, that im on at the moment.

Edit: not sure why my sucker punch pic is at the bottom for lol :<
 
I have not worked this tactic. That just do not try nothing comes out. :'(
 
I started a save with Juventus and, since we are almost always favourites, I tweaked a little to get more offensive: attacking mentality, much higher d-line, both MC on attack duty, both full backs as CWB. The results speak for themselves:



Congratulations TotalFootballFan9, you have really mastered this game!
