JP Woody V3 (Total Football)

looks like a good tactic will give it a bash with tottenham later. cheers.
 
Not quite Total Football as intended, but it is a very good FM tactic for positive results. It is tough to go wrong with the 2 poachers + complete forward strikeforce no matter how the rest of the side is aligned.

Total Football is meant to be played on a large pitch with large spaces (and most importantly, with wingers!).

Here's the screenshots of my Leicester save using your tactic, sorry I took a while, was focusing on another save and completely forgot.

Here's the season 1, 2 and 3 screenshots, league table and transfers , I don't really know what you were looking for screenshots wise but if I miss anything I'll just post it up later for ya. I used an update by StuW just to let you know, no real changes to Leicester's squad though.


Season 1 - View attachment 91936 View attachment 91937


Season 2 - View attachment 91938 View attachment 91939


Season 3 - View attachment 91940 View attachment 91949


Overall it is was an extremely good and consistent tactic for me, so thanks. I find my centre backs score a lot of goals from corners, and having quick playing in the poacher positions also got me a lot more goals aswell, even Nicky Maynard smashed in 20 league goals for me in my 3rd season when I finished 5th playing as a poacher. I've mostly used Bobby Zamora as the complete forward after buying him from Fulham (until my 4th season as I've bought Rossi from Villareal) and I sometimes swapped him to a deep lying forward if his rating was a bit low at half time. A really good tactic with no real flaws, I don't really have the best of teams tbh and ended up finishing 7th with a midfield of Sunny in DM, Ledley and Andy King in CM and Charlie Adam in AM, 3 of them from the Championship and Charlie Adam scored around 10 league goals I think along with a lot of assists, so great tactic.

Edit* - Just changed the transfers for the 3rd screenshot as I gave you the wrong one by accident, fixed it now.

Cheers, was more the tactic than me though in all honesty.

Another thing to point out, I used touchline shouts, a lot, so that might be the way forward if you can use them correctly.
 
its only one game, but its a promising start. started using it half way through the season by the way, ill post my results at the end of the season ;)

Another great tactic, thanks very much. Reminds me of playing Champ Man '93!:)

Just wanted to check; I know you say that you start every game with the same 'attacking' tactic, but I'm assuming you then change this as the game progresses, to shut up shop for example, yes?

Ban him from the game? ;)

Seriously though, the teams I suffer most against play with a lot of width and either three strikers with two out wide or two very advanced wingers. Having your crosses played from deep to the back post may cause problems for the defenders, especially if they're not settled into JPs tactic yet and their heading attributes and positioning aren't the greatest.
 
Absolute beauty of a tactic, JP...

Started a new game yesterday with Sheffield United and used this tactic and Wolfsongs Team Talks and both have made me do stuff i could never do before :D 99% of the success im having is due to these two things ( Ofc i wanna take some credit for the signings :D) I know its only burnley but there still a premiership team which made me feel better about the win

Thank you for the Tactic it is AWESOME lol :D

**** run just came to an end Lost 2-0 to west brom then drew 1-1 to Derby hopefully we can get another run going

I don't understand how people say this tactic doesnt work. I tried it with Man City and cleaned up for 2 seasons. Then I decided to start as Leeds to see if it worked at lower league. As it turns out **** YES it does. Just finished my 4th season. Won League 1 in the first year, Won the Championship in the 2nd. Finished 2nd in the Premiership in my 3rd year. Just finished my 4th season. 2nd in the league again, won the league cup, got to the 5th round of the f.a cup and got to the quarter finals of the champions league (lost 5-3 on aggregate to Real Madrid) :)

Its basically that some people (n00bs) would describe that as failure. They wont accept losing any games what so ever and expect to win every game by 3 clear goals with their strikers scoring at least 50 goals a season.
