Mr Langvatn, how are you?
I'm a really big fan of your tactics, especially the 4-2-3-1 Spin the Wheel!
But as of late i'm having a little dificulties with getting good results.
probably because of the update.

So i was wondering wether or not you are still working on an update for the tactics?

Dunno yet, sorry :) Very busy days. Back to work + I have to write my master thesis in full within two months from now. Sorry :) I'm guessing maybe next big patch I can be more active here.

Thanks for your reply!
I fully understand, that's far more important than a game!
Good luck with your thesis, i'm sure you're gonna be allright!
i'll just wait for your next tactic!!

As we have all come to find out. After a season of success, teams set up better against any great tactic and therefore we have to change things just a little bit to outsmart the opposition once again. I feel i have the answer to the above poster's issue. Last season i used 4-2-3-1 spin the wheel and 4-3-2-1 asym heavy metal to good success in the league. But this season i've been found out as expected and i lost 2 of my first 5 league games 0-3 to Everton and 0-2 to Southampton. After the tweak i went on to school Arsenal 5-1, liverpool 3-0. Here is my fixture list so far in the second season. View attachment 190699

And here's the screenshot of the little adjustment i made to the team instructions View attachment 190695

I pushed the defence line back to normal. Removed offside trap. Told them to play fairly wide instead of narrow into the hands of the opposition. Then told them to go through both wings instead of the the middle and voila that is all. Everything else remains the same and you can start hammering teams again. I don't know how long this will last. i figure if they setup again for this, i'll just rever back to the original tactic. Btw i used this tweak for both the 4-2-3-1 spinning chairs and the 4-3-2-1 heavy metal but i find it works better with the heavy metal. haven't used it much with the spinning chairs. you can try both.

I call this tweak "FOR THE BUS"
 
A testament to how ridiculous this game engine is. I knew it was coming, very predictable and i just sat and watch it happen, each equalizer was expected after i had missed tonnes of tap in chances. And some people come on here and talk about realism. Nothing realistic, it's all fixed by the game engine. 95% the games i lost or drew this season have been like this. If the game engine is happy with how you are set up, you score bucket loads before the 10th minute, if not, this is what happens.View attachment 190614

Hi Mr Langvatn,

I'm going to use ur 5-3-2 spining wheel tactic and was wondering about training and match prep, pitch size etc?
Any feedback greatly received

Thanks in advance
Dave
 
Anyone still playing with Heaby Metal 3-4-3? How's it after update, or is there a newer tactic that should be in-use? Thanks
 
Hey guys! Just letting you know that I'm still very busy with other stuff, so I don't think you should expect any new tactics from me yet. I hope I will have time for FM again when the final patch arrives :)
 
I was just wondering for a 3 striker tacti that u have... is it better to have 3 defenders, 4 midfielders and 3 strikers or 4 defenders, 3 midfielders and 3 strikers..

The team i currently have has 3gk, 8 defenders, 8 midfielders and 8 strikers

I haven't played any this patch, so I wouldn't know, sorry :) Will try to get some time to play when final patch comes. Isn't that in late feb/early march?
 
It depends.
if u r going 343, the balance of the midfield 4 is key.
If you are going 433, the fullbacks are the key to covering the wings and not getting owned by crosses.

To date, i think playing with 1 shadow striker behind 2 strikers is best for me if you like to see teams constructing moves, as 3 strikers puts a heavy toll on the remaining on defence. I have tried very fluid and strikers still dont really help much on defence, unless you are playing defensive forwards.

8 strikers is abit too much, unless u retrain the strikers to midfielders for some.
 
Really? To me it seems as though control and counter are practically the only viable tactics this ME. Surely attacking and overload will be buffed?
