Happy with the results so far.
I use the "Home Tweaked" for home matches and "Away Tweaked" for away matches. Sometimes use the home for easy away matches.
Depiste the odd loss here and there I am very, very happy with the amount of shots I am getting on goal. Usually around 30 per match.

Really not scoring much from corners though. Could be the players!

Check heading of ur whole team and see whoever have the best heading stats make him stand at far post and make sure u have a good corner taker. Right footed on left sided left footed on right side
 
Jassar for the training, it's still always the same?
Pre season
general teamwork
match. Tactics

once season started
general teamwork
match training defending

when u find that ur team is good with the tactics and u are winning more than switch match to attacking for home and easy away and for hard away keep defending
 
So back with a F9? I must admit that Poacher arn't giving me the best offense right now.
Yea I think that's the tactics I made with 14.1.3.if some player not working make it what's best position for ur player is by scrolling mouse over player roles and than switch it
 
I started using this tactic on the Southampton game and tbh I'm not doing too bad after 13 games, the game against Ajax I should of won my players squandered a fair few easy chances :)

I have good options in my team I rotate a few players around in midfield as the team I built was for a different formation. Lewandowski and Suarez is a deadly strikeforce i've got to say ;)

And the best thing is is that this isn't even fully fluid either ;D

and btw I use counter in away games and attacking in home

Okay, so I had some problems with this tactic as I stated earlier in this thread. My Crewe team in League 1 struggled at the bottom at first, but is now competing for play-offs halfway through the season (media prediction is 22). I've done a range of changes that have seemed to work for me. I thought you might like to know:

Tactical changes:
Goalkeeper
In the beginning of the season I conceded a lot of goals because my goalkeepers would try to hit my midfielders at goal kicks, but then ended up hitting midfielders/strikers from the opponents who would easily run down and score. I conceded at least three goals in most matches. So the change I've made here is: Set the Goalkeeper instructions to 'distribute to defender' instead of 'distribute to specific teammate'.

Away Tactic
I've changed the mentality on the away tactic from 'attacking' to 'counter' (as suggested by some people in here - especially Jassar). Also, I've set my two CM's to 'support' instead of 'auto' (as suggested by staviros) to give more cover in front of the defenders.

Substitutions
I know this is kind of basic knowledge, but I still find it extremely important to stress a few things. Generally, try to keep your players fit and let those in best condition start the match. If someone is below 90% before a match I rarely use them in my start-11. I'd rather have a player with 100% condition than one with only 90% in my lineup. During a match if a player is comes below 70% I always take him off. In addition, I also take off players with grades 5.9 and below at half-time and during second half - the substitutes I put in instead always end up making a difference.

Mentality:
Team Talk
This is extremely important! In fact, I cannot stress how important this is. I had my assistant taking care of team talks at first - this was a huge mistake. I was too lazy to do these at first, but after results were becoming real bad I decided to take care of this myself. Here are my general rules for team talk:
  • Always have faith/believe in your players before starting a match (and if you put someone on the field during the match).
  • Always be 'assertive' when trying to encourage your players.
  • If doing good, tell players to keep it up/pick of where they left from/keep the streak going etc.
  • If draw/losing at half-time and end of match then be 'aggressive' and tell your players that they didn't do well.
Individual Talk
These are also important! Keep your good players happy and let the one's who play bad know that they need to do better. Here are my general rules:
  • 8.0+: Tell them they did a good job
  • 5.9-: Tell them they did bad
You won't believe how much these changes have done for me in this years FM. All of a sudden I changed my team from being a group of despondent wussies to suddenly become a group of real men fighting for every inch on the field. My team started winning a lot of duels and second balls, which the opponents used to dominate in every game before.

Training:
I started switching my match training every week according to each opponent. I usually rotate my main focus every week (as suggested by staviros) to keep the team concentrated on what I think is most important. My general training is mostly set to 'balanced' with 'average' intensity, but sometimes changed too if I find it necessary. Also, I only allow players to rest after a match and not before it!

*I will upload some screenshots soon*
Pleased to hear its going well....changing the cm's to support when I'm away or more than 2 goals up makes a massive difference. Also note that when you have a really tough opponent change the whole defence line to defend and whole midfield to support makes a big difference. I'm only using mw home now...no need for another tactic or shape...the match engine penalises us too hard now for making changes to mentality or players positions...one tactic ....unbeaten run.
 
Alright Jassar, but on my individual training, do I trained them on the position you're telling to train on your first post, or do I put them on their best position?
 
Hi Jasar,

Haven't been following your thread lately, unfortunately.

Do you currently have a working tactic for 14.1.4, or are you still in testing?

i think both the set of tactics are working quite well for people . still in testing phase but looking great . so will finalize all the left tweaks and will make final 14.1.4. version

have noted all the changes will try them sure

u train players in individual training to the positions that i have mentioned in OP .
 
This happen to me often... After the first half, I win 2-0, 3-0 or 4-0... And often the team comes back and either tie me, or I only win by 1 goal...

So after 29 games in Championship... I have 70 goals for, and 43 against... I am still 1st, but I have the most goal scores, but also nearly the most admited goal against! LOL
 
Pre season
general teamwork
match. Tactics

once season started
general teamwork
match training defending

when u find that ur team is good with the tactics and u are winning more than switch match to attacking for home and easy away and for hard away keep defending
so once season has started general do you mean team cohesion?
 
After half of season I must to say that CF+F9 pair from origin tac is working better for me.
 
so guys i'm going start a new save with schalke to show you how to get all out of jassar's modern warfare :)
