A Review of this tactic with a low strength team.
I wanted to start a new game with a low power team, so I decided at using this tactic (started from the executioner tactic, and then continued to the Glory tactic)
People have been posting "their amazing results" with teams that have Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, etc etc, which for me, is ridiculous, considering all those great players in their disposal. You can see if a tactic actually works, when you test it in real competitive conditions, when your team is poor.
So, I picked a mid-level team from the second division of Greece, Larisa. I also turned off first transfer window budgets, to go on and play with the real rosters without any changes.
So, in real life, this year Larisa ended 3rd out of 13 teams, and then 4th out of 6 playoff teams. Their roster is not of course one of the best in the league, however they managed to get in the promotion playoffs because other teams like Zakynthos and Lamia collapsed in the last fixtures.
I couldn't get some screenshots ready for you at the moment of writing, though I'll upload some later.
SO, LETS GET STARTED
Season 2014/2015
B Division North
1st P:26 W:19 D:5 L:0
Undefeated and won with ease the bigger teams than me in the league. Draws were done near the end of the season, when it was 100% that I would end 1st.
B Division Promotion Playoffs
against: AEK, Iraklis, Kallithea, Apollon, Kalamaria
2nd P:10 W:6 D:3 L:1
Made my first loss against Kallithea, though I think it was due to fitness issues after a tiring season. However, it would be good to note that in the games against AEK, who are the most buffed up team of the league (1st division level), I won at home and drew away
Greek Cup
1st Round: won easily against Acharnaikos
2nd Round Group: was in group against 3!!! Division 1 teams, Panathinaikos, Panaitolikos and Niki Volou!
Panathinaikos are 1 of the main 3 contenders of the 1st Division (Olympiakos, PAOK, Panathinaikos) (and actually won the league). Here are the results:
vs Panathinaikos: Lost Home 0-2
vs Niki Volou: Won Away 3-0
vs Panaitolikos: Won Away 4-3!!
AMAZING results, and I got through to the 3rd round, against PAOK! the other contender
3rd Round:
Larisa 2-1 PAOK WON against one of the 1st division contender!
PAOK 2-0 Larisa but the job away from home was tough.
OVERALL 2014/2015:
It was a great season, overcame our targets easily, with good management, following all the tactic instructions, and even achieved some good results against powerful teams!
Season 2015/2016:
The transfer budget given to us was... 0€!! the annual wage budget was 5.5M per annum, of which 3 was used. Also, many players don't even want to talk to us when approached to sign, as we are very low reputated team.
So, I signed 7 free players, with one, Ivo Ilicevic from HSV being the finest!
League:
3rd P:30 W:17 D:6 L:7 Pts:57
Only Panathinaikos (1st, 72pts) and Olympiakos (2nd, 62pts) ahead of me! Drew twice with Olympiakos, lost twice against Panathinaikos. Positions 2-5 lead to European Places Playoffs!
Playoffs:
Against Olympiakos, PAOK, AEK!!
Position:.
.
.
1st!!! P:6 W:4 D:1 L:1
Won AEK twice, Drew and Won against PAOK, Lost and Won against Olympiakos!! So I am through to the UCL Qualifying Round!!!
Cup:
Result: WINNER
In 2nd round group against Olympiakos I ended up 1st again, and then knocked-off PAOK in Quarter Finals, scoring 0-4 Away
OVERALL 2015/2016:
A 2nd division team, with financial issues and almost the same players from 2nd division, goes on and takes 2nd place plus wins the Greek Cup.
I havent played the UCL Qualifiers yet but,
TACTIC COMMENT:
This tactic is absolutely worth it! Follow ALL the instructions closely, manage your team the best you can, and the results will come! It's the best tactic I've tried in a while, and it works with small teams as well!
Great job TFF!
