Well definitely try it out Mike, it certainly looks like it could be a good one. :)
 
tried it out, and first game back, I drew 1-1 with Everton, it was a lucky result, because they completely dominated possession, and I was fielding a full strength side :(

yes dear, bit of a pistake I know, happens all the time to the best of people. However, against United, I smashed them 4-0 - hit and miss I think, but still, worth it to thrash United with :D
 
My feedback...

Hi,
first of all just a quick thanks for this tactic, it seems like it will be very useful, and i have always been a 4-2-4 man in FM, also converting my own version into FML and its always been really good for me. Im going to keep you posted as in depth as possible as to how it works out with my Arsenal team and if i come across any nice tweaks ill let you guys know.

The only part i seem to be having trouble with is getting Tevez to click in any shape at the moment in this tactic, so far i have tweaked the right striker to be a Treq as Tev is a bit slow (13) but i will keep working different things and let you know what works where with who etc etc...

Thanks

Ok.. so here's how it is right now...
I played my whole first prem season as Arsenal using my own 4-3-3 (which ill up soon for anyone who wants its a very good tactic) coming 2nd in league about 8 points adrift of Liverpool (who are mega awesome in fm11 imo) and 11 points clear of Man City who came 3rd...
I have provided pics of my opening season 2 game vs Tottenham along with my current lineup for you to check out.
4-0 dominating win against a strong Spurs who were "clear favourites"

(sorry for going on a bit - my 1st post on here and am just trying to paint the appropriate vision for you to see how the tactic is working for me!) - ill keep you guys posted in much shorter format from now on! :)
 
I have a problem in importing this tactic. Since it has a .php extension it does not show up on the manage tactics screen in FM. Please help.
 
Thanks for the feedback rumour :)

Xeque279, it shouldn't be a .PHP file, I don't know why that's happening. It downloads with me as a .TAC file.

Update: End of Season 2

Well, I've finished season two and it's all good, and it seems the tactic is better than last season.

Won the league again clearly scoring 101 goals and losing only one.
Won the FA Cup with a tremendous performance by van Persie.
Won the Champions League after a shaky start but managed to win 2-0.
Won the Community Shield too but that's not important :P

Will upload screenshots later, please remind me :)
 
Currently mid season after starting with this tactic as fiorentina and am sitting top after 11 games, won 8, drawn 3. scored 26 and conceded 10. yet to play Juve or Inter so will update after that. Rafeal Van der Vaart is tearing the league apart in the inside right position with 7 goals in 10 games.

Version 2.0 has now been released, link HERE!. Download link also available in the opening post.

Sorry about the delay, decided to have a lie-in before work today :$
 
Mke hi.
With 4 games to go im 1st with preston with chelsea barely 2 points behind and i still have to face Man U and Liverpool
Lost my 3rd game of the season against arsenal and ill face them again in the FA cup final
I beat chelsea twice in a row, in the league and in the Fa cup semi. Ebi smolarek is candidate for Player of the year with 15 goals and 16 assists. My defence has improved (I think mostly because of player interaction and pregame talks on my cb) and i have only conceded 10 goals since january compared to 24 before.
Against chelsea 4-1-2-1-2 i made some tweaks, resembling more a
---------GK
RW--CB--CB--LB
-------------DM----
RM--CM----------
----------------LAM
----ST----ST------
With and anchor man instead of a ball winning mid and a def wnger set wide on the right.
For what i saw in e match engine it worked because my Right midfielder was free of cover in that spot, he gave to assist to my Poacher in the second game.
other than that i have used the 4-2-4 all the way. except against city`s 4-4-2 where i dropped the trequartista to the AMC spot to avoid city´s phisical defenders (i won 3-0 and 1-0)

Also, i dont use a target man, basically because my strikers dont fit the role, i use a complete forward + a poacher against slow teams or a trequartista against fast ones.
 
These are my results so far started as Catania started really really well

This is version 2
 
Thanks for feedback both ^ ^

My first tactic had just less than a 1000 downloads after one day, and this one's struggled to reach 200 downloads after 18 hours :S Shame, I thought this tactic was better than the first :P

the secound tatic is better the only problem is my poacher kadlec isnt scoring
 
Great job pal, a perfect fit for my Juventus game.
The team is scoring a lot of goals, with good defense too.
Better result: a 6-1 win away against Roma.
I'll test some more and give you more feedback!
 
I won the premier...Beat Liverpool 3-0 with this tactic after chelsea had lost to Man City. Enough for me to champ with one game to go...which i lost 4-0 to man U in Old Traford mainly playing with bench and reserve players coz i have the FA cup final in 6 days.
:-)
PRESTON Premiership champs :-) i spend so little in wages that i made a profit of 23 millions during the year my board loves my ***.
