Since 11.3 has been out, I've been working on a 4-2-3-1 which gets the best out of Liverpool, including Carroll and Suarez. I tried a narrow diamond, with Suarez as a poacher and Carroll as the target man. Neither striker really hit it off so I tried again with a 4-2-3-1.

The tactic isn't the prettiest, playing the long ball game to Carroll and then getting as many men forward as possible to feed off his knock downs and to support him. The 2 wingers, preferably Suarez on the left, and Kuyt on the right, play a huge part. Giving them an attacking mentality and max. creative freedom allows them to bang in a fair share of goals and providing for Carroll. Gerrard's given a support role to try to make sure the tactic isn't over attacking, helping out the 2 central midfielders.

Anyway, enough of my talk, here is the tactic:

Yes, it's just a simple 4-2-3-1. But it's worked quite effectively thus far for me.
The players in the screenie are the players I'd reccomend and they do fit the tactic pretty well.

I haven't completed too much as yet, so that's why I've released it now and I'm looking for 3/4 testers. I'll update the OP when I've done more of the season and so on.

Hi mate, tactic looks good, will try it when it's released :), i'm guessing you haven't tested out my tactic yet then? :)

I've been working on this mate but I'll give it a go now with Reading if you like?

ok, that'd be great, but don't worry if you want to keep working on this :)
 
Right only started it tonight due to me being unusually busy! :p

So far

I did friendlies but they were mixed results simply due to youth and reserves being played

Won 5-1 v Timisoara
Won 2-0 v Timisoara
Won 4-0 v Blackpool
Won 3-1 v Wigan

Very successful so far.. between 55%-65% Possession every game and alot more shots than opposition..

Im using my database though and i also left the pitch size as it currently is at anfield!
Suprise Package = Carragher ( 3 goals )
Top Scorer = Carroll ( 4 Goals )
Top Average Rating = Luis Suarez ( 8.14 )

That's great pal, yeah I used your update too :)

Thanks for the update, hope it carries on to be successful :)
 
When everyone's given feedback I'll look to make improvements and then release v1.

v2 will be released when I've had testers for the new improved v1 :)
 
I will test if you like
