Cheers guys, won the WC with England with not even our strongest team. :)
 
I'm trying this tactic with Barca, and it works very well but its not good at away games against teams like sevillia, madrid, villareal..
And i've noticed that this tactic isn't good against teams that play with 2 defensive midfielders.

Still performe amazing,I switched only 1 thing,moved 1 of the strikes to AMC position,
Balloteli is left striker almedia right strike
Ballotelti is 9 goals,9 assits 10 games
Almedia is 15goals 2 assist.
Just IMMENSE!
 
i cant seems to win..
im using Droylsden. finnished 8th last season in blue square premier with another tactic..
this season started with this tactics and im in relegation zone right now after 8 games in which i only win 1 .
any advice for me? opponent always seems to score when they play through ball against my def.

Try to look at the player abilities, and compare them to what Mr. Hough have linked in the first post. That's the only thing I can come up with atm.

Other than that, if your team is 'bad', this tactic wont make them win every game, but it will or at least should give you more points than any other tactic.

How's your morale, and teamtalk feedback? Shouldn't have too much to say, but it can make a difference;)

To me it works the best against all the formations I've played against. Teams who prepare to defend themself get a hard time with my 3 strikers (mainly Berbatov, Rooney and Macheda). I usualy have the ball 70% of the time and get all from 20-35 shots fired. Of course I win those games as well;)

Have you played a lot against teams that have 2 DM? If not, it might be random, since as in real life, the team have some days they just play rubbish. Very rare tho.
 
Not only is the tactic superb but it can be moulded into other formations and still deliver results.

I tweaked it to a 4-3-3 for Barcelona and won the Quadruple beating Chelsea 5-0 in the Champions League Final. Take a look here

Fantastic work JP/MrHough
 
One word to describe this tactic: UNFUCKINBELIVEABLE !!!!!!!
I applied it (wizard version) with my Birmingham team at the start of 3rd season. Previously i played with "Goals Glutter" tactic from this forum and it was great. I finished 5th at my 1st season, and 2nd (but with no chance for 1st place) on 2nd season, also winning England FA Cup. Only downside was, i was loosing enormous amount of goals, so i couldn't win matches with top teams.
While changing tactic to yours i was thinking, that maybe i could win league and England/League cup with a bit of luck.
Guess what? I won it all, i won league by 19 freakin' points! And best thing is i have also won Champions Cup beating on my way to top teams such as Inter, Juventus, Barcelona and Chelsea in final (which by the way was easiest match, look at screenshot).
Quadruple with Birmingham on 3rd season? I am still shocked and also very grateful for your work, cheers mates!

Here are screens from CL final and few interesting matches - Community Shield with Arsenal, away league match with Manu and away match in CL group stage with Sturm Graz, look at the opposite team avg. notes :)
 
moving the 3 strikers to the AMC position worked a treat in the classic version that was released, all had forward arrows and were a complete nightmare for the AI defence, with the 2 MC's also joing attack. Rooney is averaging a goal a game for me as the central AMC, and even HAmsik has my MC is scoring alot from one on ones being played in by the 3 amc's.

but with the latest wizard i dont know what role to give them, terquista(sp?), attacking midfielder/playmaker...still playing around with those settings.

just played a game away to blackburn who set up with a 4-1-4-1 formation, put all 3 AMC's on trequartista roles...






the long shot count is purely down to my freekick taker Gourcuff (who also tends to shoot from distance at every chance due to his PPM) he had 11 shots on goal and not a single one on target!!! can't remeber if has scored any goal from a setpiece :s)

had brilliant possession and my passes completed was 86%.

or it could simply have been down to my motivation skills.....

looks good any 1 tired it ?
 
I have to say, the basis of this tactic is really great and I have tweaked it into a flat 442 that are working like a treat

Once again, great work !!
 
If people feels like sharing their tweaked versions, I'd be happy to get them PM'ed as I'm trying to tweak one myself, but I'm having a hard time getting wingers to work better than the current tactic (even if I move my wingers down do midfield, where they are "unconvincing". Any tactics is helpfull, even without wingers.

Again, JP and Hough, Awesome tactic :D
 
Could you PM me it please so i can have a look?

PM send.As its not my tactic, I wont provide it to anyone else, that's up to JP and MR H to do after its been looked at (and tweaked some more perhaps)

I assume some of this post is aimed for me.

I didn't just say it because you had a tactic, but it gave me an idea ;) Just to see what other people do to make changes to the tactic will help me to make the changes I want to do. It's not that the current tactic isn't good enough, because everyone who've tested it knows better. It's just that I want to use this 'flawless' tactic and make some changes to it so that it benefits my current squad if you know what I mean.

My point was not to get hold of your tactic, or your friends tactic. Sorry if it looks that way :/
 
cant even download it :( clicked download on mediafire and it dont start, then I click where it says click here if it dont start and it still dont work! Anyone else having problems?
 
having difficulties with this tactic..opponents always seems to get through my def with a through ball and scored..every single time
 
Mrhough, I'm trying this tactic out on Fmlive atm, but struggeling to create enough chances it seems. And i probably got one of the best forward on the game atm. With Balanta on the right, Dzeko in the middle and Cisse on the left. Any idea why this is? And also wondering it the middle attackers job is to hold up the ball, why isnt "hold up the ball" used in the tactic on him?
 
Going to try a asymmetric formationtweak, this time using a top team, Benfica
