Koflok's Goals Galore 2012

[koflok]

I've tried this tactic based solely on the amount of downloads your previous years versions have got. I've tweaked a few things and everything seems to be working great.

Good stuff man. Glad you got the results. The statistics shows exactly how I want the tactic to be.
And thank you very much for the detailed statistics. It helps a lot!

Mind sharing the tweakings you did?

__

By the way, W4NKER's result just shows me something.

The winger on striker's favourite foot side will get more scoring opportunities. He will combine better with the striker.
Meanwhile the other tends to more cut inside and feed through balls to the others.

In his save it's Rooney (right footed) and Nani (right wing) got some shooting opportunities, and Neymar is feeding the ball.
In my save, Hulk (left footed) works well with Gervinho (left wing) who score somes. Same goes in Napoli where Cavani (right foot) works well with Lavezzi scoring.

The significance of this is that the winger on striker's favourite side doesn't have to an inside forward (meaning, opposite footed). A right footed winger can play on the right side as long as the striker is right footed (but the left still has to be right footed). And vice versa.

FAQ updated. Hopefully this clears up user who wants to have confirmation regarding the wingers.

Q: I got the left winger who is right footed, but the right side winger doesn't have opposite foot to cut inside. Can I use this tactic?
A: Yes you still can use this tactic. However you must make sure that that winger who isn't an inside forward is on the favourite foot side of your striker.

In simple terms, if your striker is right footed, the right winger doesn't have to be left footed. (but the left winger still have to be an inside forward, of course). Like for example, Cavani as striker and Lavezzi as right winger.

The difference is that instead of cutting inside more often, he tends to moves into channel and shot the ball diagonally. So, if the player got 'Place Shot', he will scores plenty of goals.

Then again though, having two natural inside forward would be much more effective

Q: I got no inside forwards at all. Can I use Downing (left footed) as AML and Walcott (right footed) as AMR?
A: No you cannot do that. The tactic would probably not work. Using two natural winger destroys the tactic mechanism and you won't probably get much chance.

You got to at least have an inside forward, and the other winger may not be opposite footed as long as he is on the striker's favourite side (as explained above)

 

[W4NKER]

I've attached the tactic. Tweaks included:

- shorter passing for everyone (to keep possession),
- altered the defensive line, width and tempo (to try to tighten up in defence and stretch the opposition) and
- use the striker as a target man. (for Rooney ball is played into feet, for Chicharito ball is played into space)

In the Wigan game below I forgot to change the supply to Chicharito. I change it in the 83rd minute to 'run onto ball' and he scored in the 84th and 90th minute.

Match Prep has been Average and Attacking Movement unless against the likes of Man City, Chelsea or when its is Average and Defensive Positioning or when scout recommends something else.

 

[koflok]

Awesome! The exact kind of inputs I would like to get. Thanks a lot man.

I was thinking about using target man as well but never got to test it out.
I'm assuming with the earlier screenshots, even with targetman the winger still plays a role right?
I was afraid the team is too focused on the targetman and the other attackers are 'ignored'.

No I find as the ball is played into Rooney he has 3 main attacking options - shoot, pass to Neymar or pass to Nani. Most of Rooney's assists have been through balls to the two wingers who then have a shot on goal

 

[koflok]

Hmm sounds good. I'm gonna play around with the settings tomorrow. Gonna try different combinations of width and tempo and see which ones produce best results with this tactic.

One more thing, you changed the d-line from normal deep to push up. Did you do it purely for tighter defense only or you had better possession and other attacking aspect as well in mind?

I use similar settings in my own 4-4-2 tactic which was good defensively but didn't get enough goals for me so I thought I'd use it in combination with your attacking settings. Seems to work. However I've only tried it with Man Utd. Not sure how te settings will work for weaker teams/ poorer defenders. I'll test the tactic with a lower rep team after I finish the current season with Man Utd

I used this tactic on fm11 for Liverpool, but for some reason im having no luck at all. I have Downing as the winger and Suarez as inside forward, with Carroll upfront, after 12 games ive only scored 12 goals and conceded 9. Not faulting your tactic, maybe it just doesnt work with Liverpool

 

[PequenoGenio88]

Oh well it just doesn't meant to be. LOL. Wish I can help more if I known more.
Good luck on your game



Good stuff bro! Scoring plenty of goals I see. And the defense isn't bad as well. Seeing a lot of clean sheet there.

Any inputs?

Just the corners...

I have done couple of changes but those are little things like give more freedom to APM and so on.

Btw, i snapped a great bargain from the Sevilla. They wanted only 1,4m from him and his starting nicely. Dunno should i play him regulary on the AML and Josep Ilicic in the APM..

I've found from using the tactic that a faster, more technically gifted centre forward works better.

Try...

ST - Suarez
AML - Bellamy
AMR - Downing

Yeah I think Carroll doesn't seem to work wel. The front needs someone quick as mentioned by W4NKER.

And seeing your post, I assume with Downing as a winger (AML), does that maen Suarez is AMR?

I think the best formation would be what W4NKER post :

I've found from using the tactic that a faster, more technically gifted centre forward works better.

Try...

ST - Suarez
AML - Bellamy
AMR - Downing

and try Carroll as a substitute or just sell him to buy better midfielders.

Just the corners...

I'll work on that. Hopefully more people will review this tactic and give some inputs on this.

Cool thanks. Any suggestion?

Good start bro and what a bargain.

Iif I'm assuming you're using Abel Hernandez which is left footed then Armenteros would be great to play on AML. His speed in finishing will get him plenty of chances. Just don't forget you need left footed AMR to fully implement the tactic and get really good results.

Ilicic should b fine on APM btw

Thanks for the review and sceenies!

sorry bit off topic, but what skin is that mate?

might as well try this tactic with my Gers team too.. while i'm here.

 

[lingdaowen]

Koflok, do you play your walcott as striker or as AMR ?

Cheers good luck with that

Let me know how the result

I tried playing him as an AMR but he's not that effective there.
So I used him as substitute striker. His pace is useful to bully low stamina defenders. Wish his finishing was better though.

[jimmy999]

just thought id say this tactic is brilliant at the moment

im mallorca and i have 0 transfer budget and a mediocre team, currently 6th in la liga! brilliant!

had a decent cup run too but knocked out by real madrid in 5th round

iv made 1 loan, daniel sturrdige from chelsea and hes playing really well up front, this was in the january transfer window as i sold some players i dont use, rest of the team is stock, castro playing brilliant on left wing

Awesome. Thanks for the detail.
I'm gonna try it out.

One question. Is the corner inswing or outswing? Should left foot take left or right corner?

Glad it's working for you mate. Finished 6th with Mallorca is a job well done
Mind sharing some screenies? Like the table or fixture results.
Do you play sturidge as the lone striker?

 

[dongchung13]

Oh! Left Foot take right corner and right take left corner . Good result!

 

[koflok]

Help me out guys for some stuffs.

1. I'm thinking about making my wingers and midfielders to hold up ball to not rush things. What do you think?
2. Also, currently my through balls are all on 'often'.
Do you think it's better to change it all to sometimes so that they don't just rush on their through pass?
3. I'm slowing down the tempo. Do you think it'll lead to lower CCC or better CCC since the team builds up better?
4. Wide vs narrow! I know wide stretches opp's defence, but it seems like the winger are not that dangerous because they're further away from the goal. The striker seems to having a difficulty in setting up diagonal passes to them.

Input please!
