Koflok's Goals Galore 2011

[Colakim3]

How about playing narrow so your wingers will stay closer to your striker and then use wingbacks for crosses and width, in that way u will get both in attack, but you might be missing out on some defense though.

 

[GabeGenesis]

The resulting product of those tweakings. Obviously you won't see the player instructions but boy.. this could really mean Goals Galore.

 

[semris]

I tried this strategy and it gave me worst results in my FM career yet. I resigned after being 7th in my league (normally I always finish TOP 3 and play some cup). I don't think it's a problem of the strategy itself, I just think it doesn't work so well with if you do not have perfect players. I'm not playing for rich club, yet I bought players according to instructions for this strategy (the players I could afford) - still they are not Iniesta or Xavi. ;-)

My problem was - lots of goals in my net - usually from crosses, but for some reason LOTS of goals from corners etc. I never had such problems like this.

Basically no strategy based on 1 striker worked for me yet. Why? I never have top strikers or top wingers, no money for them and average striker alone gives poor results.

Well. Let's start a new game and get back to hardworking 4-4-2!

Hello!
First, sorry for my English.
Ok, I am supporter of Steaua Bucharest. So start a game in charge that team.
Played with your tactics in all your variation and I did not manage to make working the tactic. (with V3 was in 1st position in Romanian League but did not like how played the team)
Last evening, after I seen the suggestion made by mara.sustai I start a new game.
Steaua has little money for transfers, so had to sell some players to make money for a AMR (looked for one who is left footed).
I succeeded to buy Wesley from FC Vaslui.
Lack of money made me to abide by just that one transfer.
Media prediction is 2nd place.
So I start the matches.
First the friedlies (6 or 7, dont remember exactly, because I am not home now).
Disaster! 2 draw and 4/5 games lost.
Than start the league matchs.
Played with Cristian Tanase as AML, Wesley - AMR, and Bogdan Stancu - FC.
I start winning and now I am at 8-9 match played in Romanian First League, all of them are wins.
Used the OI like mara.sustai suggested and the team is playing mutch better. And I told to my side defenders (DR and DL) to play as Full Bakcs not Wingers.
Also, in the domestic league, I played with to title contenders, one away and one home, 1st media prediction and 3rd media prediction and beat them.
Input manually the OI because i have seen that my assistent manager not doing like mara.sustai suggested.
In Europa League played with Elfsborg and managed to beat them twice with 3 to 1.
Now I am in Europa League groups playing against Sporting, Bordeaux and Dnipro.
First match was away at Sporting and I lost 1-3 but my stats were better. Sporting had no CCCs. They scored from long shots, about 25-30 m. I had 5 CCCs, better possession but did not scored just once.
Second game in Europa League was my home against Dnipro and win 3-1 with very good stats.
Steaua not have good player to your tactic but I am very pleased how they are playing now.
I am thinking that if this season will be a succes maybe next season will have some money to fitt the right players to the tactic.
So, more CCCs with the tactic now, better posesion, I am dominating al the matches (but poor finishing cost me in the game with Sporting).
I will explore your settings with width, passing style and philosophy today, and i will post my inputs in the evening or tomorow.
Great tactic, and I am curious how my team will do with bigger teams if I will pass the Europa League Groupe stage.
Cheers!

Read my post about the perfect positions of the players. Yes attributes do factor in. But PPM do factor in too. Same with height and stuff. You can't just go around buying players to fit into roles that they cant really play. Moreover, some of them only have certain attributes that fit the requirements in the OP but sucks to the core for others. Use players to their maximum and tweak the players roles to your advantage. At least thats what my previous post show Compare mine and yours? Big difference eh

not surprising to be honest. SI seemed to lower the rate of scoring one-on-ones. Either improve on your striker's finishing or make him Place Shots. OR buy a new striker

 

[masterdisaster]

Yes, right.
I have seen on that tread one post how to make a player to Place Shots, but yesterday looked for that post and dont find it.
My striker has prefered move Shoot with power and shoot from distance. Sometimes make me upset because he can still advance with the ball but he choose to long shots (6)

Told to my striker not to shoot from distance and he told me that he knows better what to do

 

[WhiskeyJackal]

Help with viewing imported tactics.

Hi guys I was hoping someone could help me, I'm probably doing somethinh very stupid.

I've downloaded a few tactics and put them in the Sports Interactive - Football Manager 2011 - data -tactics folder.

Is this correct ?

I then load up my game go to tactics choose manage tactics and choose import tactic. The problem is that I cannot see the tactic that i just put in there.

I have also tried putting a .tac file in the preset_tactic folder but have had no luck.

Can someone tell me where i am going wrong ?

Thanks very much

Its not at the program files. Its in the My Documents if you are using windows. Download to Sports Interactive > FM11 > tactics. Then load your game and go to archived tactics in the tactics screen.

Next time search as there are already threads out there to help you all.

 

[WhiskeyJackal]

Thanks very much

 

[jednooki]

The resulting product of those tweakings. Obviously you won't see the player instructions but boy.. this could really mean Goals Galore.

where can i find this tactic?

**** 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..

I dont know why, but now, I have very big problems with win something. I have 4-5 shots, maybe 1 CCC...
I cant win with Blackburn :|
any suggestions?

 

[tgooders]

Sorry if I'm being stupid. I'm playing as West Ham and I've signed Douglas Costa and I have him set as my playmaker, so do I assign my Cmr as centre midfield support? and my Lcm as centre midfield attack as I can't see the setting for deep lying attacking midfield. Many thanks

 

[Gravy]

I don't really think testing with a barcelona side who also have fabregas, coentrao etc will really tell you anything about this tactic. These players are above and beyond your average player therefore purely on the stats advantage they have over everyone else they'll be able to dribble more, score more, and generally do things that the average player isn't capable of.

You only have to look at people posting tactics as barcelona, arsenal, man utd - WIN LOTS, LOADS OF GOALS, MEGA TACTIC ner ner ner, absolute rubbish. I think koflok acheiving 2nd with hercules is a real feat and what makes this tactic interesting - Other than that changing the tactic on the basis that someone with the best players in the game can get good results (shocking) is a joke.

Since when did I even said I was testing his tactic? His tactic is genius for all of us to see. I am testing his tweakings. Like it or not, stats advantage doesn't necessarily = more goals/dribble. Compare Kadlec and Rooney, who had more success for this tactic?

One more thing, his 2nd winning Hercules side is better than most of the La Liga teams if you looked closely. Average players? Haha.

 

[Sollen]

my away matches keep on being ... weird,

againt bigger teams (i'm tottenham), I got waay less chances (1/3 of them) however a large part of their shots are from distance ... and i tend to make a goal, however sometimes it still is one goal to less to win the game

 

[wevitz]

Hey guys for some reason I'm not scoring goals.

attached some screenshots and I even bought Kadlec and played him before Lukaku.

By the way, The 8 familiarity levels have all been maxed out already.

 

[bertvdb]

Will be testing this tactic further this evening with SC Heerenveen.
Since I used this tactic won 9 games (biggest win 5-0 against FC Utrecht) and lost 1 game 0-1 against Ajax.
Now I am top of the league with 4 points more than NAC Breda.

Im saying no tweaks should be made of someones results featuring the best players in the game, his teams not bad sure, but its not 35m rated fabregas, villa 20-20 finishing composure etc, most people could win everything with their eyes closed with a team like that....

Im not knocking the tactics im knocking the idea that this tactic should be edited because someone who has the best players says this works or that works.

Im fully aware that some players shine in above their plateau when they are played in the correct role but your talking nonsense now.

Oh yeah and if stats advantage doesnt necessarily mean the players better then i guess we'eve all got something fundementally wrong.... So by your say so if you signed Kieran Richardson to replace Messi he'd get the same ratings, score as much dribble as much because stats mean nothing.

So your saying that you paid to sign fabregas cause you like his name not because hes the best rated young cm with the best over STATS. Retarded.

Your talking **** mate, your full of it, Im not reposting after this as your blatently a moron whos got no idea what hes talking about.

This isn't knocking the tactic in anyway, i used a similar tactic and won the league CL and cup with roma, but i prefer a possesion game which this can't always give.

 

[LiamBarkes]

Hi, I'm new to this and I'm really confused how to implement downloaded tactics in my game..I've downloaded and placed into the 'Tactics' folder and loaded up my game and it's not in any tactics nor is it in the 'Archived' tactics folder...PLS HELP!??!?!! thanks.

 

[Pykole]

Mate, i've been playing Burnley. I'm on my first season and everything is working fine. Striker's getting a lot of goals, but i'm really making the difference with the corners. André Bikey is scoring 1 goal per match, is amazing!

Thanks a lot for the tactic and keep up the good work!

Dude you don't need perfect players you just need players who fits the system. Especially up front. You said bought players but then you said you didn't have to 3 attacking players which I have written is the key to this tactic - I don't get it all. Other than those front 3, all players requirements are pretty common. So who did you buy?

This is not a plug and play tactic which are use by lazy people as I've written. So yeah when you don't have the players that fits the tactic or the willingness to do something about it, don't expect anything. I've seen some LLM managers who are able to have some success despite having very little budget and sometimes doesn't really have the resource that this tactic needs but still manage to succeed.

Then again, seems like 1 striker formation doesn't fit you.

Haha first of all I know that Gabe didn't test the tactic to see if it works or not but to see my recomended tweaks works or not. It's up to a point where I already know that the tactic works, people with NOT ONLY as you said big teams but also teams from different leagues, low table teams, LLM, and others have succeed. What I'm interested now to see is how much it can be improved.

So yeah, even using Barca - which I know people will have success doing almost anything - it is still relevant to see how the team plays - which I asked him to do because he is one of my testers. Not the result. Again, I already know the results are gonna be great, I just want to see how the players play. Now that being said, using whatever teams will be relevant. True?

And for those who are using big teams, so far they are having success. I know it's not that hard but it's not that easy as well. Did you see how many threads were up on people asking about "How to win with liverpool" "I need MU help" and stuff. So winning itself is yeah okay. What I usually see is their goals scored as this is a goal-scoring tactic and ask them which area that can be improved. It will be easier since they are using big teams, therefore it is easier to see whether there is a weak link despite having the player that fits.

So yeah.. I just want to clear this up. Because sometimes I think people diss the fact that some users uses big teams - without actually focusing on others as well that had uses smaller team. I don't mean this is you, I just would like to add this.

Hey guys for some reason I'm not scoring goals.

attached some screenshots and I even bought Kadlec and played him before Lukaku.

By the way, The 8 familiarity levels have all been maxed out already.

Can you be a more specific? It's like you're asking me to fix a car without telling me whats wrong with it.

What do you see in the matches. Does the play does not link up, or CCC created but not scored, ball stuck in midfield or whatever.

Cheers thanks. Yeah I've tweaked although not extensively, but have found an effective way to score from corners.

So Cheers! Kudos for using Burnley.

Who's your striker btw? Do you see any area that you would like to be improved?
