INTRODUCTION
Hi guys, as some of you may know ive decided to call it a day for releasing new tactics from FM14 beyond, ive decided to do this for various reasons not just one. Before i retire though i thought id leave you with one final tactic for the latest and hopefully final patch.
THE TACTIC
View attachment 323625
The tactic is a follow up to the successful simple and solid tactic i did for the first patch, this time its a 451/433 formation though. Again very simple in its construction using the ever improving wizard. Ive tested with 2 teams, one season with Spurs which was in 2014/15 season and went very well, the other was with Heerenveen from the start 2012/13 season.
SPURS TEST
Its worth mentioning here that i had a very good squad and a good reputation as manager which does make a huge difference motivating players. Still i exceeded even my expectations winning the Prem, FA cup and Champs League.

HEERENVEEN TEST
Most of you will know i regularly use Heerenveen to test, i do this for a couple of reasons. When you want to test a tactic its useful to have a regular testing team, this way you can gage how good the tactic really is comparing it to previous tests of previous tactics. Also the Dutch league is less punishing than the likes of Spain or The Prem with no overpowered teams.
For this test i started from the beginning and had my past experience set as Sunday League footballer, this makes it difficult from the start so if you want something easier its important to set your past experience as Automatic or higher.
Season 1
Not a bad season considering my past experience, squad and budget. 3rd in the league and cup winners.

Season 2
Went very well considering i lost my 2 best players and was only given 1.5m to spend. I was able to get a proper big target man and 2 decent wingers on loan though which made a big big difference. League and cup double.
