I've been downloading a lot of peoples tactics on FM11, but got bored of doing it on the game, so I've decided to create my own.

Formation:
Click to See Formation

It's a 4-1-1-2-2, using my adaptation on the Nike Defence Theory, same mentality for centre backs (stopper and cover), different for the right and left backs though. I have the defensive midfielder to cut off any counter attacks and sit in the hole. I use the central midfielder as either an advanced playmaker (when I play Steven Gerrard) or as a box-to-box midfielder (when Raul Meireles plays), both in support roles.

Tactic:
NO OPPOSITION INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO BE USED.
NO TOUCHLINE SHOUTS ARE TO BE USED.

Pre-Match Team Talk:
always tell every single player 'you have faith'... always inspires at least one player and makes at least 5 happy/delighted.
Team Talk Here
and Click Here for result of that match.

Depending on opposition tactics and the quality of the team you're against, possession varies. I managed around 55%-65% each game, but never less than 50% ... Very rarely did I go below 50%.

I've done a complete season already, and started again after finishing testing. I'm currently top of the league, image here.

A lot of players in the player stats: HERE.

One of my favourite results considering this Aston Villa team went and beat United and Chelsea in the two weeks prior to my match. Result here:

It's quite a simple tactic, but do not tamper with anything. Only thing I'd say you can have a fiddle with would be the defensive side to my tactic. Also the two strikers... You can change their specific roles, but make sure you have at least one poacher/advanced forward.

THIS IS NOT FULLY TESTED AND FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED.

Oh and before I forget, the transfers I made: Click Here

Set Pieces: You need you're tallest centre back, or the player that has best jumping/heading attributes set to attack the far post (THIS WILL GET YOU A LOT OF GOALS). Adil Rami, my centre back has 23 goals in 32 games in all competitions including 10 in the league: Picture Here

DONE USING PATCH 11.2.1 AND NO FMRTE WAS USED.

Other memorable matches:
Number 1
Number 2
Number 3
Number 4 (may have been EURO lg qual. but hey!)
Number 5


Interaction:
Interaction is key to any game on FM11 going successfully, when a player plays well (gets a good rating) interact privately, and tell him how well his last match was or recent form was. I usually do this to my best 2-3 players who rate >8.4 in the match. It improves your relationship and boosts morale too.

ONCE AGAIN, NOT FULLY TESTED SO ANYONE WHO USES THIS PLEASE SUBMIT FEEDBACK THANKS

Alternate download link: CLICK HERE (mediafire)

for the skeptical ones: GAME STATUS
ok 7 saves could be a lot, but I don't get a long time to play the game due to xmas commitments!

I think my tactic is under review by moderators to be on the downloads section

Dzeko switch with Babel and Lucas switch with Gerrard...isn't that better?

Will try if I run out of tactics.

Yeah you're right, it is actually Dzeko swapped with Babel and Gerrard swapped with Lucas when I play, just a mistake when I took the screenshot.

Thought so XD,
Got a bit of spare time (4 hours...)
So I'll give this a season simmed and get back to you with some feedback mate
Think I will test it with....Bayern Munich
If it goes awful dont worry it will probably be Bayerns assistant so if it goes bad (hope it doesn't!)
Then I'll just sim an EPL season with chelsea and see how it goes
Just to help with the testing :D
