Mr Houghs 4-1-2-3 Final Unbeaten

First of all, big thanks to MrHough for a creating a tactic that is successful and generally consistent, the first tactic that i have downloaded which has held strong! Got Leeds (yes, fine, Leeds!:p) promoted to the Premiership in consecutive seasons, finishing 10th in 11-12, and have now been appointed as manager of AC.

However, 2 problems continuously pop up, first is the inability of forwards with bags of ability to score!!! (5/6 clear cut chances per game, no goals -.-, but probably not a fault with the tactic). Secondly, second half performances always seem to be considerably worsethan the first, e.g. winning 3-0 then drawing 3-3. Been using Wolfgang's teamtalks, but 70% of the time 2nd halves are nightmares! Ive tried switching from attacking to contain/counter/defensive and sometimes contain (in fact contain can sometimes worked wonders, producing 3-0 wins), but most of the time with no success.

But all in all, fantastic work MrHough!!!

With you mentioning that you switch the mentality I'm guessing that you use the Mr Hough/JP Woody collaboration tactic?

If so have a look at this. http://www.filefront.com/16470297/Mr-Hough-4-1-2-3-Unbeaten-Final-Version.-Arsenal-Oct-2009.tac/

That is my Unbeaten Classic version that JP converted into the wizard.

If your having trouble scoring it could be a number of things but probably the main ones could be the players attributes, when looking for strikers i always look for these. Pace. Finishing Composure Off The Ball.

Them 4 i think are the most important for the strikers in my tactic, I also have a look at a players anticipation and decision making this affects offsides so if you have a player with high anticipation and decision making he is less likely to get offside.

On my middlesbrough save i have signed Micheal Owen to spear head my attack in my first season in the premiership, After 10 games he has scored 8 goals, He has all the attributes i need apart from pace which i can be abit lax on because he has such high rating in the other stats.

regarding the second half performances it could well be that your players might be getting complacent in the second half, There are many ways that complacency can form in the team but the main one is being being pleased after a first half performance.

With me being boro and doing so well at the minute my assistant manager nearly always selects that we are pleased with the performance, I think this is stupid because you have to think about what the opposition will say. Now if you are winning and it's half-time the opposition manager is gonna fire up his team but if you say that your pleased with the performance it might give your players the impression that they can take the foot off the gas and that will let the opposition in because they will be fired up.

If you understand what i mean!

When i comes to my team i want them to give me 100% for 90+ minutes to make sure we get the result instead of half a result.
 
Any chance of getting a working version of the CM and FB filters? Don't mean to bother but I keep trying to download them and FileFront doesn't seem to be working on those two. No idea why. Tried multiple browsers just in case it was any addons I was using in Chrome.

Yeah, this.
 
My forwards run very many times onto offside, what may be his reason?
 
Anyone struggling whilst using this tactic should NOT be playing FM, simple as that!

Hope your well MrHough
 
Hey gaz i'm very well thanks mate, Is the tactic still doing the job for you i remember it was when you where the mighty hammers.

Funnily enough mate, had a bit of time on my hands so started a new West Ham game(after our real life start to the season i just wanted to see the Hammers win a game :'()

Came 6th in the first season(no corner cheat) but could easily have challenged for the title, somehow lost 13 games when actually only outplayed twice, this is the part of the game that has ended my love affair with FM, my four and a half star keeper(Ochoa) rarely made a save and 90% of goals conceded were down to gk and defensive errors, including standing still with the ball amongst others.

The game just does'nt reflect football anymore, all it does is follow a pattern devised in its making, so its a pointless exercise.

I did start season two and saw pretty much the same thing, 5 wins 3 draws and 4 losses when we should easily have won 10 of the games and the only game we were outplayed in i was missing all 7 of my first team midfield.

So thats me done for now..........................unless of course you release one more tactic, then i'm going to have to have just one more go! ;)
 
Just bought 2010 and am struggling a little in Conference North. Is there a Tactic that i can use on the original 10.0 version to download?

I have a few tactic for 10.0 that you can use, Or you could patch up to 10.3 and use this one?

I have been working on a winger tactic for about a month now, So hard to get it right but i think i'm almost there.

It's a 4-2-2-2 formation with 2 DM's 2 Wingers and 2 Strikers.
 
Mr Hough if you could give me the one for 10.0 that works best that would be great. May upgrade it to 10.3 shortly also so if you could let me know what is best for that to that would be awesome. Sorry im new to all this if someone has already previously posted

Havent seen a single winger tactic that works in FM10, so would certainly be interested in giving this a go mate, give me a shout if you want me to do a little testing.(H)
 
Can someone please post a screenshot of the tactics used in Mr Houghs 4-1-2-3 please, as my game does not allowed me to download tactics anymore on to it and I've been wanting to try this tactic for ages.

sry guys but when dl the tac from filefront i just got 403- forbidden and couldn't get the file so anyone plz give me a mirror :(, thanks lots.
 
Just wanted to say a big 'THANK YOU' to mrhough for uploading and sharing this tactic with us.

I'm currently playing as Ipatinga (Brazilian 2nd Division team), and I'm in the final of the State Championship, having beaten much better teams convincingly.

My main thanks is for making the game more enjoyable; I've tried creating tactics before, with little success and much frustration, and this made me want to stop playing. But now, it's fun to watch my players move around on the pitch and play convincingly, and I actually feel like I've got my money's worth out of the game!

So thanks again mrhough, you are a legend of legends :)

All good so far!! Was in 4th and 8 games later im top by 4 points with 6 games to go. Conceding a lot less but not scoring as much. Putting that down to how poor my strikers are at finishing though so will buy better ones once im promoted (hopefully) to Blue Square Premier. Thanks!!

Good man i hope things keep working for you.

I'm sure it will become more offensive as you buy better attacking players, One thing though get better defenders try and keep the team balanced.

Don't neglect the defence for the attack.
