Mr Langvatn's Tactic Thread (Updated for 13.3.3)

Can somebody please let me know if you are suposed to select a Playmaker for the Rock Classic Tactic? I noticed the box is ticked on.

Thank you
 
For me The best Tactic so far for FM 2013.

I'm in my third season with Monaco.
Won :
2 League One
1 League Two
2 French League Cup
Lost in 1/2 Final against Man City (but 90% of my team was Injured so I played with youngster Boy)

For my last Season, I've Win with out loose a game and my team is now with a record of 65 games with out loose

(Sorry for my bad English)

Mate, this is a surreal tactic. I just started using it since the last 4 games and your Rock Classic 4-1-4-1 tactic just made me realize how wrong I was about the effectiveness of counter-attacking in FM 2013. My team finally plays the way I always wanted it to. Chuck the tiki-taka tippy-tappy possession ****, just get down to the business :-D

I just beat Bayern away (toughest team to play against for me) 6 effing 0. CCC's after CCC's and tons of almost CCC's. This tactic has made me want to watch entire games after a long long while.

Haha, that is one **** of a result! :) Bayern, strongest team in the game! ****! I agree, screw possession in FM13.
 
So my first season has finally come to an end:

Usual Tactics only during pre season, then once fluid I go with Balanced (LOW) 10% training match prep, match prep (Teamwork) all season, and I have all my players on individual role training (HIGH) That way all my players have medium workload and improve to maximum effect the skills important to their role. Tick the rest after match box only. I find with these setting, my team gels quickly and when I look at my *** manager report my players have developed a strong understanding quiet early into the season, and my young Adevelop quickly. In my Derby save, I had Will Hughes fully developed after 2 and a half seasons, and in England's starting line up mid way in season 2!

I put him on Box to Box midfielder, I don't have that save anymore so can't show a screen shot, but I have one of him from the end of season one in a save I am playing now, using that exact training.

Bare in mind that his potential can vary game to game, I checked with genie scout and in this save his PA is 175 which is pretty high, as some saves it can be 155. This screen shot has his Current Ability at 147, not sure what it was at the start but I think he has improved a lot for 1 season!

PS: ignore the thumbnail below, the pic above is the most up to date one, the thumbnail at the bottom was taken a few days before, but he improved again just after I posted it.

Rock classic tactic.

Could somebody help me with players?

Current setup (AS Monaco):

----- Falcao (injured so much..)
Barazite -- Verrati -- Joao Moutinho -- V Germain (normally ST for Falcao)
------- Vukjovic-----
G Schennikov -- Papadopoulos -- R Varane --- Corchia
--- Ter Stegen ---


If I interpret the player instructions, the striker / wingers etc. have tackling set to hard. That means they would require at least decent tackling, dec, bravery etc. Where are those players? ...

I find it near to impossible to find good wingers...

Most players work in the tactic. Don't get too focused on getting "all the right stats". Just get the players you would normally buy. If the cards thing is a problem, just lower the tackling to medium or weak on some players that have low tackling skills. I don't do that myself, because I always manage just fine playing 10vs11.

I agree with the 10 man thing. Who do you take off when you go down to 10? I always take off the DM and I usually go on to score another goal or 2.

You are AS Monaco, infinite bag of money!! so wont be hard to find the right players?? good wingers like Bale , Lacazette, Ocampos (own player) , El Shaaravy, Aeyw , Griezmann , Nangis , Belhanda , Neymar, Hughes.. pff need more? :)
 
I spoke too soon about my Rennes save with Degeneration X tactic, last 6 games if the season didn't score a goal, ended up runners up, so next season I will switch to the 4-1-4-1 Rock as this seems to be where everyone is having all the success. any special instructions or tips for the wide midfielders for this tactic?.
