Mr Langvatn's Tactic Thread (Updated for 13.3.3)

Is this still a counter-attacking tactic? I've just beat Chelsea 5-1 at Stamford Bridge, playing some very silky one-touch football and I finished with 52% of possession. (They did have 18 shots though to my 12 so I think that game probably could have ended differently). But it's a decent start.

EDIT: The one-touch play, by the way, was down the wing. My STCL, DMCL and WBL were using some lovely triangles to work the ball down the field. My DMCL ended up crossing for my DMCR to score from. I was in awe watching it.

Hello Mr Langvatn and everyone. I´m trying to strenghten my squad and it´d be very useful to know what are the most important players in rock classic tactic as i don´t have much money to spend. Thanks in advance.
 
After small break here's update from my Inter game - 5th season. The greatest so far. I managed to buy Kurt Zouma for only 28 mil and he, Ranocchia and Juan Jesus were like concrete in the back. In the rare occasions when they failed to stop attackers Handanovic was there to save the day. Here's what I'm talking about. Beating all my previous records for most goals scored/least goals conceded/most points/goal difference etc etc... and the champions league was retained again! In addition to the most important tournaments I won TIM Cup, Club World Cup, Italian Super Cup and European Super Cup. Here are two screens to prove my success:

I don't know if it is possible to achieve better than this but I am optimistic for the new season because I secured great players - Muniain (Free), Jack Cork (Free), Koke (18mil) and Neymar (50m). The only problem is to decide which striker to offload. Falcao is getting old and is the top-earner in the team but he always scores in Champ leagues finals when he plays. The other options are Destro and a regen guy who has great stats. And with Neymar coming one should leave and probably it will be Destro.

P.S. The tactic is Rock Classic

Most important players are the two CM's.

I'm Swansea in the year 2017. The only players I have who aren't regens are Carlos Fierro (ST), Andile Jali (DMC) and Yann Sommer (GK). It's a good team though. Last season I won the league with 103 points (W33, D4, L1) using (up until the last five games) 4-1-4-1 Rock Classic.

EDIT: Third game with 2-5-3 was away to Arsenal--a nightmare series of fixtures for sure. I won 3-1 with 52% possession and 20 shots to 6. Away, remember. Their goal came from a horror back-pass from a defender and I would have scored more (14 shots on target) but for a goalkeeping master class from Szcczezsezney.

EDIT #2: My second match was a home game against Man Utd. I had 18 shots to their 3, 49% possession and I won 4-0.

It still is counter attacking, but it's a lot more offensive, so should be very nice for top teams.
 
Your new 4-3-3 is doing wonders for me, i am currently rotating it with nezza's 3-3-3-1, using yours against teams that are afraid to attack me when i am favorite and using nezza's to get a result against hard opponents. So far havent lost points using this system and your tactic aint even fluid yet. THX!
 
How to make the score more goals from corners? what setting is the killer?
 
I think you should try to make a flat 3-5-2 tacic which can be very effective in this FM

Which 433?
 
In terms of pre season training for part time teams....how do you avoid the mid season jaded fitness issue? Would you concentrate on fitness and tactic training until the last week for example and then use the training in the OP?
 
just a bit of advice for all those using the 4-1-4-1 rock classic

i know mr L and others say left on left, right on right, for the footedness of the wingers, but i've been finding better results having one inverted and one pure (without changing settings)

example, my right winger is an out and out right winger, where as my left winger is a right footed player who's capable of cutting in and playing a through ball, to make the attack a bit more dynamic

could just be a coincidence, but having the variety of options in the play seems to produce more chances for me and get my striker more involved, as the out and out winger seems to set up the CM's with crosses, where as the inside forward type player seems to feed the striker
