Koflok's Goals Galore 2011

[koflok]

I'd use him as the stopper and then i'd keep Vidic deeper to prevent players lige Crouch and Drogba to get their float crosses, i see it only nessecery vs. teams who plays float crosses, but also rather important vs. those teams, since Chiellini would be rather useless.

But come to think of it, i suppose i could keep my low-jumping center-backs out of those games.

What would you do/ What's your advice ?

Haven't done the testing and all but agree with the concept.
Would you put Chiellini on hard/easy or stay at normal tackling?

Can you try that cover-stopper tweak and see how it goes man?

 

[bboybaker]

hmm wait what? i thought since the first release it has always been cutting inside.

oh yeah i've known about the target man settings. yeah it's working good especially if you have very pacy striker who can run off the defenders' shoulder. nice job

although im pretty confidence of my corner though. inswing corner to far post with best header (right central defender) standing on far post is awesome

who usually scores from the 6yard box by the way?

At the moment i score with Striker/ Central Defenders / Midfielders - its randomly i win away 3 - 0 with corners, its kind rare but won a game only by corners

So i think its work here.

I'm not really sure how to include this in the tactic so i would rather not be the tester of it, but at FM 10 i played a barcelona tactic where i had Pique as Ball-playing Centre Back on Cover duty and then Puyol as limited defender with stopper duty and that seemed to work wonders back then.

Any chance you say what tweaks for the defense you´ve made?
Also the OI intructions?

Would be really helpful

 

[zair92]

ok ive played a full season with this tactic and heres what I found...

I played as blackburn rovers....not the best team and I had to change a lot to fit with this tactic

we lost all of our friendlies.

we won the first 8 games of the premier league.

in the league we generally got really good results at home against all teams. we only lost 3 times at home all season.

away we seemed to beat the top 4, but had losses against blackpool, stoke, wolves, birmingham and west brom.

we won the league cup.

we lost in the fourth round of the fa cup against cardif.

we finished 2nd in the premier league, narrowly missing out to chelsea.

all in all its an amazing tactic, and my second season is looking great. it does take some time for the team to get used to and sometimes its frustrated to lose to smaller teams. but all it all its amazing and I thank you for the success it has brought to our small lancashire club.

Cheers thanks for the inputs. Yeah I've noticed against lower teams sometimes teams does not perform that well. I don't know it's a matter of motivation thing or tactic issue. If it's a tactic issue I have to find what's wrong with it. Maybe because they play more defensive or something.

But still. 2nd place for Blackburn. Awesome job!

hey man thanks for your PM
just got the chance to check it now since i've been busy all day

it's amazing how it's just simple OI and can work wonders.

I'll post here and the first post - credited to you. Cheers thanks

Opposition Instructions credit to mara.sustai @FM-Base.
- Tight Marking & Closing Down : Always to
Wingers (LM, RM, AML, AMR) and Attacking Midfielders (AMC)

- Show onto foot
to Inverted wingers - put to the 'wrong' foot. (e.g. Messi cut inside from the right using left foot - show hin onto the right foot)
to players who have 'right only' or 'left-only' preferred foot - put to weaker foot.


Cheers

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.Did you try with your team?IS YOUR DEFENCE BETTER?

Thank you.

Hmm haven't really extensively test it yet. Haven't been playing FM all day. Gonna play soon after dinner

 

[Bojinov]

hi koflok what trainings do you use?

 

[jednooki]

Oh, you've got Ozil in Hercules? Tell me how

I am playing Tottenham with your tactics and now, I am second (mancity 75points, and me 73).
This is very good tactics, but sometimes in away matches my team is very bad.
yeah, I read about change attack to standard, but then my team have maybe 4-5 shots in match...

I give my screens later, when i finish season

Ok. I finished in first place

I buy D.Silva (for 9.75mln pounds) and M.Balotelli (for 11.5mln pounds), because there were in the transfer list. Now I have problem with tactic, because I dont know where i shuld put there. I've got Defoe, Balotelli (i think, that Mario should play in attack) and Silva, Modric, VdVaart, Bounanotte, Witsel, Bale. I put Silva on the AMR and give him playmaker. Bale on the AML and VdVaart on LCM and Modric on RCM (with support).
any suggestions?

omg... Now I have L.Suarez... he was on transfer list - 6mln.

 

[aediasse]

Whoa! Johan Djourou just scored his 8th goal in five matches. Most of them have been on corners. He plays at the RCB position and is the one on the far post on corners. Haven't been too successful on corners and now it's exploding. No tweaks though, and I hardly concede on corners.

H Newcastle 4-0 (Chamakh 2, Faubert o.g., Djourou)
H Wigan 4-0 (Arshavin 2, Djourou 2)
A Wolves 1-1 (Djourou)
H Birmingham 3-1 (Djourou 2, Chamakh)
H Stoke 7-1 (Chamakh 4, Djourou 2, Vela)

Djourou
League: 14+1 (9)
UEFA CL: 2 (1)
International: 5 (1)

Premier League table (first 9 games was 2 victories, 6 draws, 1 loss, 9-8 GD = 12 pts

Well yeah the corner has been a bliss for me. Not a glitch or anything but just a nice setup from me.

What gives? A lot of draws during the beginning of the season.

At least I see your Chamakh is scoring really well. Have the wingers or midfielders score?
What position do you play Arshavin?

Originaly posted by koflok

Arshavin plays on the left. The midfielders haven't scored that much really. Here are some stats (league only)

As for the others, Chamakh, Bendtner and v. Persie playes as strikers, ocasionally one of them play on the left or right.

In midfield Fabregas always plays in the offensive role. Other players in central are Wilshere, Nasri (also on the right), Rosicky (also on left/right), Ramsey (been injured more or less all the time), while Song plays in DM of course, rotating with Denilson when needed.

On the wings Arshavin, Walcott and Nasri rotates, sometimes Rosicky and Vela.

Fabianski is transfer listed by own request and loaned out to Porto. Didn't believe in me as manager :O

 

[mara.sustai]

Suarez is good,i bought him toosilva have slow pace,maybe problem on amr...balotelli is very good on aml or striker.give swaping players between aml and striker.me like that i have and it works very well.suarez can play on aml too.buonannote is perfect on amr...playmaker-modric on rmc.thats best position for playmaker

 

[koflok]

none. just on default

Nice results. Tottenham should be on top irl too. I like the way they play.

**** of a squad man.

Defoe will definitely be forward. 1st choice or not up to you
Suarez and Balo both are brilliant on the left wingers.
Buonanotte should do well in right winger (if he can't switch with Silva)
Silva be the playmaker
Now yo you got VdV and Modric for RCM which can rotate with the playmaker too really.

Bale left back. Put him on support duty. Run with ball sometimes, crosball often, and run from deep often. Will kill the left flank as your left winger cut inside.

Arshavin plays on the left. The midfielders haven't scored that much really. Here are some stats (league only)

Nice distribution. **** of a team Arsenal really. Anyone can play anywhere.
Seems like the LCM position is really good I should not tweak with it same as striker role.
Here's a wild suggestion. Try playing Walcott up front. I think he can kill some defenders with this settings compared to Chamakh.

You might want to buy a right winger with left foot tho. But if you play Chamakh up front then it's okay to have a right footed winger since the crossing can connect to his head.

Overall nice results and nice feedback with the screenshots and details. Really helped me decide which area that needs improving and which one doesn't

Suarez is good,i bought him toosilva have slow pace,maybe problem on amr...balotelli is very good on aml or striker.give swaping players between aml and striker.me like that i have and it works very well.suarez can play on aml too.buonannote is perfect on amr...playmaker-modric on rmc.thats best position for playmaker

Hey man thanks for helping out with the suggestion.

Your OI is working real good by the way.
Limit the oposition to many long shots so far. Cheers

I'm Hercules so I'm conceding still but not that much.

Kudos!

 

[mara.sustai]

I'm gladWITH BETTER DEFENDERS OI WORK SUPERB.I DONT USE SHOWING ON FOOT,TRY IT WITHOUT,MAYBE HELP

 

[koflok]

I'm gladWITH BETTER DEFENDERS OI WORK SUPERB.I DONT USE SHOWING ON FOOT,TRY IT WITHOUT,MAYBE HELP

that's just my addition. works well too

logically if you know some player are likely to do something - might just as well prevent them totally from doing what they want. right?

show onto weaker foot for 1-footed player will force him to use his weaker foot which most of the time will miss its target. so yeah.

Thanks for the feedback. I know I should have a left-footet player on the right, the thing is however that I have serious problems with buying players I don't think belong in my team. I am a huge Arsenal nerd, that's why It's difficult being manager for them. I like to keep them as long as I think they will in real life 8-| I rather promote players. JET, Eastmond i.e. are some that will get even more games next season. I am however interested in Lloris. If I can't get Hugo I will select Szczesny to my first XI. (I usually end up managing in Asia - Hong Kong, India, China - can have a lot of fun that way - Baichung Bhutia:wub:

On the right (as you said everyone can play basically anywhere) I could also select Wilshere or even Vela. Or van Persie so that they easier can get shots. Could also tweak a bit so that Walcott gets into more sensible positions to score from.

Well, off playing a bit more, Liverpool must not win the league. I will not let that happen.

I can't.

I won't.<)

Hey Kof,

Won the league / FA cup / League cup and reached the semi's of the CL (**** you away goals!) using arsenal with the V1 tactic. Just entering my 3rd season and decided to use the V3 and see how it went.

I waited till the team were fluid in all area's, which didn't take too long as it wasn't vastly different to the V1 tac, before playing it in matches, so it was only in use from the Sunderland game. Started off quite slowly, and I did find I was struggling for goals in some home games against weaker opposition, and I did have to swap back to the V1 in the fulham game after I was 2-0 down to come back. Stuck with it though and with the OI changes the whole team plays so differently. Haven't conceded a goal since I started using them.

Overall, brilliant tactic just takes some time for the team to get used to it, even after it says fluid on all the aspects in match prep. Also the OI's make a big difference.
