INTRODUCTION:
Hi guys, after only a week of playing the new game ive decided to release a new tactic after having decent success with it and seeing quite a few people struggling badly with the new game. Hopefully it will show how a simple common sense approach can deliver a reasonable amount of success and hopefully encourage some of you to create your own tactics and have the confidence to persevere with them. This is pretty much the first and only tactic i created for the new game apart from a few tweaks post patch.
THE TACTIC
As the title says its a simple 442 with the emphasis on balance in both defence and attack, 3 outfield players on defensive duty, 4 on support and 3 on attack, the classic balanced set up. Testing it in the Dutch league with Heerenveen ive won the title twice and one Dutch cup before moving to PSV. In no way is this the perfect tactic, it won't win the Prem with Stoke in the first season nor does it exploit the match engine in any way, its simply a solid and simple 442 which with some common sense and patience will deliver success and hopefully show the ease in which tactics can be made using the wizard. The fact ive only used it in the Dutch league so far is a slight worry, ideally i would of liked to test in England but nevermind, ill soon find out if it works or not.
PLAYERS KEY STATS WHEN BUYING:
GK: handling & reflexes
DR/DL (supporting full backs) tackling & concentration
DCR/DCL (Centre backs) heading & concentration
MCR (defensive deep lying playmaker) passing & tackling
MCL (supporting deep lying playmaker) passing & creativity
MR/ML (attacking wingers) crossing & dribbling
STCR (supporting complete forward) heading & strength
STCL (poacher) finishing & pace
NEED TO KNOW
1. I didn't use any opposition instructions during my save.
2. I used no shouts, however i have used the wizard so if you want to use them you can, if they don't work though don't blame me.
3. Use a Small pitch
4. No special training instructions used:
General training default focus was team cohesion on average.
Match training tactics only.
Individual training ask the assistant.
Coaches, ask the assistant to assign.
5. Team talks, pre match i always use a "for the fans" talk. HT if winning either "you're capable of better" or "don't get complacent" HT if losing or drawing, use any aggressive talk. FT praise a win or good draw. A poor result use aggressive talk.

NEW COUNTER ATTACKING VERSION!
Ive made a counter attacking version of my successful solid & simple 442. I did try and make a 4231 version but came back to the 442 because it simply works so much better. It actually works better than the simple and solid in my opinion and ive enjoyed the football produced. Quick wingers and quick poacher are a must in my opinion to get the very best from it. Enjoy!
PLAYERS KEY STATS WHEN BUYING:
GK: handling & reflexes
DR/DL (supporting full backs) tackling & concentration
DCR/DCL (Centre backs) heading & concentration
MCR (defensive deep lying playmaker) passing & tackling (main playmaker because the team play very deep, he starts the counter)
MCL (attacking advanced playmaker) passing & creativity
MR/ML (attacking wingers) pace & dribbling
STCR (supporting complete forward) heading & strength
STCL (poacher) finishing & pace
NEED TO KNOW
1. I didn't use any opposition instructions during my save.
2. I used no shouts, however i have used the wizard so if you want to use them you can, if they don't work though don't blame me.

4. No special training instructions used:
General training default focus balanced on average.
Match training attacking movement.
Individual training ask the assistant.
Coaches, ask the assistant to assign.
