Loco's Kite Formation v1

[craigo1409]

After downloading and messing around with countless tactics from this site I finally got round to creating my own. Expecting nothing more than complete failure from my tactic I was pleasently surprised to find the results to have been very successful.

The tactic is based ariund the philospophy of 5 and 5. This being that the team has 5 main defensive players and 5 main attacking players. However, it also allows more flexibility in that, for example, the defensive wingers in my team play on attack duty, therefore despite being 2 of the 5 attack minded players, they also help out with defense.

The players here have all been purchased on free transfers and are not the reason this formation is successful as the same players have been unsuccessful with other formations and the tactic has been tested with other players.

For those wondering, the team in the image is Inverurie Loco Works and I am playing on the database of the Scottish Football Revolution downloaded from this site.

I've tweaked the tactic now to make the defence more solid.Since the tweak I've had mor clean sheets with no real difference to goals scored. I changed both central defenders to Limited Defenders and the Defensive Midfielder to an anchor man. I've also dropped the defensive line back a bit. Overall this does not stop the opposition from shooting but it limits their chances to shoot. I.e. although it may look like they've had a lot of shots, around 75% of those will be from long range. this way they have very few clear cut chances and therefore score very few goals.
