This is the 2nd tactic I have bought out following the success of my 4-4-2 Pow Right in the Kisser tactic.

This tactic, however, is very different. The aim of this tactic is to give you a fighting chance against teams that should absolutely destroy you.

For instance, you're a midtable League 1 team and you have just got to the FA Cup 3rd Round. You have drawn Manchester United at home. Normally this means you will lose heavily, but this tactic can give you a fighting chance.

The tactic itself is simple enough and aims to contain and snuff out the opposition and hit them on the break as their continous pressure leaves them exposed.

I would really like this tactic to be tested further but it should only be used for games where you are a MASSIVE underdog. I'm talking at least a division between you.

There is only one requirement to the tactic, you MUST have a striker with 17+ Pace and Acceleration. Everything else will work itself out.

Match prep: Team Blend until fluid
Opposition instructions: None
Touchline shouts: None
Pitch dimensions: as you will only use this tactic a handful of times a season, whatever you normally use

I originally designed this tactic on FM10, and its pretty much unchanged for FM11. It was designed using the 1.3 patch

As you can see, this season i got to the FA Cup Quarter Final, the Europa League Quarter Final and won the League Cup with a Championship team that finished the league midtable.

should do well i hope. just remember it is ESSENTIAL to have a fast striker, doesnt matter about his finishing really, just as long as he is rapid
 
I'm going to try it, but in my case i'm an veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery massive underdog so I still don't expect to win...or lose by less than 4 goals XD

well cheers for trying the tactic! would you say it was a better result than you'd expected then?
 
Great tactic i am going to give it a go today. I am currently playing as Wycombe and my next game is at home against Bolton in the league cup i will let you know how it goes.

Just played my game against Bolton in the league cup and i lost 3-0. But i had a goal disallowed after 2 mins which was never offside and i did create quite a few chances, i think my biggest problem is that i don't process a striker with 17+ pace but overall i like this tactic. I will use this tactic when ever needed this season and let you know how i get on

nice one, glad it did well for you. to be honest i think it really is essential to have that fast player up front, even if he is terrible at everything else. most of the time i just found a decent player and got him on loan as its hard to find and buy that kind of player at a lower league level
 
Good tactic have not lost in 3 games now with SC Cambuur, just beat Volendam 0-1 and they have the strongest squad and we were level on points, now I am getting closer to promotion. Thank.
