Grinder: 4-4-2

[AnIrishTrueBlue]

Greetings one and all to my first ever tactic post

Tactic is a 4-4-2
It involves a very attacking wings taken from the Chelsea method of attacking fullbacks and the security in defence.

In my first season at Chelsea (Yes I know big club) I dominated Europe, taking on a quadruple and went unbeaten until last few games where my reserves/youths played as I focused on the Champions League.

Its a bit if a plug and play, with little tweaks for the home/away and varying the formation of the opposition. Ill submit all details below, but first some screenshots.​

As you can see I have had good success, I did make signings but they were Santa Cruz as backup, Park Ji Sung on a free for backup and Hamit Altintop to cover various positions.

So I'll briefly explain the roles

Essien Role: Deep Lying playmaker, good passing stat is a must.

Drogba Role: Target man type guy, usual stats.

Anelka Role: Complete forward stats.

ISet pieces are the common ones with decent results. If your fullbacks can cross then you will have better stats than me.
Home: Set to Control if playing Big 4, or Attacking, OP Shouts: Wark ball into box, get ball forward.

Away: Counter/Standard based on Big 4 or other, shouts: Retain Posession & Work Ball into box.

Assistant does all team talks.

Please not in the view screenshot, all additional players are end of season bargain signing

seems a solid tactic but it would work far better I imagine if instead of Anelka, another more complete striker was plying

Tested with Newcastle, and the results have been good. After half a season im currently 10th in the table, and im playing good football. I usually use counter all away matches and control home. My only defeats are away against the big teams, and usually those have been tight matches where I have lost by one goal, so all in all, a very solid tactic.

@Alcaraz

I dislike spending large amounts of money on players.

@daftendirekt

Little disappointed by the results you're having. But hopefully it will work for you!

Well, Newcastle don't have the best players in the world, and before I tried this tactic I was struggling at the bottom of the table. Now I play better every game, and with some solid signings next season, im sure I can get a top half finish

Ended in 6th place. Kadlec turned into a beast second half of the season

Excellent then mate, happy you enjoyed it. Hopefully a few more will try it out with different teams.
