Hey! Reporting back after a successfull season!
Finished 1st on portuguese's 3rd league, showing this is also for minor league teams!
My stats: 24 win 3 draws 3 lost 72 for 21 against
top goalscorer was the forward with 31 goals in 30 matches (7.89 average rating and 11 MoM) , so, pretty darn good!
This tactic DOES need time to gel with the team, starting my first 5 matches with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.
Tweeks I made were the mentioned by you (standard mentality and defensive settings) PLUS making your forwards your target man!!! that changed the whole season for me! probably worked great as I have a pretty decent forward in a crappy league, but he scored tons (31 in 30 as said earlier) AND managed some cool hat-tricks (maybe 3) and 1 poker ;D
Try the target man and leave some feedback if you can ;D
PS: Thank you for such a wonderfull tatic
Great season! and Nice input. Thanks.
Loving this flow of ideas from you guys here. .
I think I did that actually. I only do it when my striker is my star player. Funny, that's the opposite
So far kadlec as advanced forward (or deep lying, the same really), have been sick.
Scoring 30 goals in 18 games this season. It has only been in early November
If you notice by the way, due to individual settings, the difference between deep lying and/or advanced forward and a target man is the wide play. Targetman stays in the middle instead of moving to channels. And the obvious ticked as target man in the team instructions.
And true! I can't stress enough the importance of letting the team gel with the tactic. Some people expect instant results and that's hard to achieve.
What's a poker by the way? haha
Yeah i know, i saw it. And that's the main problem! The only difference is that i don't have Hazard and Sanches. Instead of Sanches i use Alex Chamberlain, Banyoun or Kalou.Zhirkov or Malouda take Hazard's place.
Hmm. If I'm not wrong probably you have the wrong 'winger' for it. Kalou is brilliant on the left but no one is playing on the right. You need inverted wingers.
Train Malouda to play the right wing and you're golden with the Kalou Malouda combo.
And of course, play with it for some time and let the team gel with the tactic. Check the match preparation section
