fastidious = 1. very critical; hard to please 2. excessively particular about details

UPDATE - 23.05.2012:
• V3 FINAL is out!
• Props to Dave (Mr_Hough), he inspired me to try playing with a lower defensive line rather than my usual stubborn high line, and it's working well. Thanks chap.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• V2 OVERVIEW:
Built on FuSStidious V1, now utilising a high pressure defence that Mr Hough and I have been discussing, uses a high defensive line allowing me to place the former DMC's in MC position. To better balance the tactic I've dropped the wingers to MR/ML, resulting in a highly successful flat 442.
The play tends to build up slowly, dominating the game. It's all about creative freedom of movement by the wide and front men, fed by through balls and a simple passing game built from the back. It's plays like a classic 442.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• V3 GUIDE:
• FC's - Fast Strikers: Similar to the previous tactic, except now there's two! Look for lots of physical stats, particularly acceleration & speed.
• ML/R - Wingers: All round wide-men are good here, they'll be a mix of cutting in and crosses. The most important stats are once again the physical stats, so look for pace, acceleration & dribbling - somebody that can finish given the chance is a bonus.
• MC's - Support: These guys are supportive midfielders, look for typical CM's here. Strong types that 'boss the park' would be ideal, think Huddleston and Palacios for Spurs last year. They'll hang back and play a defensive game most of the time, but a lot of assists and killer passes will arrive from here.
• FB's - Defend: These have been given more defensive instructions, although will still go forward to help setup attacks. Looks for defensive stats first, then physcial, then crossing/dribbling/passing.
• CB's - Defend: Typical centre-backs there to defend the goalkeeper. FM12 strongly favours physical and fast centre-backs, the likes of John Terry sadly don't cut it any more.
• GK - The usual: Handling, reflexes, command of area - one-on-ones is particularly important as this tactic uses a high defensive line so the occasional fast player may get through.

NOTES - TEAM TALK:
• Simple but effective 'rule of thumb' here: Sports Interactive Community
NOTES -PITCH SIZE:
• Use what ever you think your team needs.
NOTES - OI's:
• I don't use them.
NOTES - MATCH PREP:
• FIRST, set as 'Very High' and use 'Defensive Positioning' until your team is familiar with the tactic.
• WHEN FAMILIAR, set to 'Medium' and continue to use 'Defensive Positioning'.
NOTES - TRAINING:
• I'm very happy to recommend Furious V2 for training, if you're willing to put the effort in and use it properly, it's very effective: Sports Interactive Community
NOTES - KEY POINT:
• It's important to remember that sometimes you can be tactically spot on and still lose. Perhaps a defender made a mistake (that's not the tactics fault, it's defender error), perhaps the opposition striker is having a stormer (that's not the tactics fault, that 30-yarder was unstoppable). Football is a game of chance, and sometimes you lose one for no reason....the trick is turning it around asap so not to disrupt your form and lead to a downward spiral.
