Mr Langvatn's Tactic Thread (Updated for 13.3.3)

[Mr Langvatn]

Hi, in terms of subs...which players do you tend to replace during the matches? and when? thanks!

I'm usually not replacing anyone Certainly did no subs in the tactic test.

In a "real" game, I tend to give my biggest talents some play time in the 2nd half if I'm leading.

 

[Mr Langvatn]

Currently testing the 2-5-3 in the same test. so far 7-1-0. The draw was a 3-3 away against City. And I don't have any right wingbacks, so Henderson is playing there with "yellow" on the position thingy.

2-5-3 DDDMC ANGELS is better than 4-3-3 DDDMC ANGELS ???

Test The Iron Ones 442

From the results posted by the viewers on that thread, it is no point testing it as it will have no chance against the big dogs in my test.

 

[Mr Langvatn]

2-5-3 DDDMC ANGELS is better than 4-3-3 DDDMC ANGELS ???

Possibly Still testing. Will post when I'm done. Results so far:

Edit: 14-2-0 now. And considering I have position problems in the 2-5-3 and still doing this good, it's probably better than the 4-3-3 if you have the right players anyway.

can I have a screenshot of the 2-5-3 plz thanks

 

[evo87]

looks solid, strikers ya main goal source??? like cm is main goal source in rock classic...

 

[evo87]

mr L, I know u have had countless ppl ask u, but I really think u need to make a dominating 4-2-3-1 tactic if possible

Possession tactics doesn't perform well in this patch, sorry

 

[Mr Langvatn]

The 2-5-3 ended on 53 points and is now leading the tactic test It would have done even better if I had suitable wingbacks

 

[mikedodgson]

The TC version of the 2-5-3 is working very well for me so far, currently 3rd after 21 games - 13 - 5 - 3.

Do you have a attribute filter for it?

I have Cisse playing the right side striker but he's nor performing very well and by looking at the footage I'm thinking someone who can dribble a little better may be more suitable?

No, I haven't made an attribute filter for it I make new tactics all the time, always trying to improve. Can't make player filters for all the tactics ye, right and left strikers should be quick and able to both dribble and cross

Doing a quick test save with the 433 using man city. I'll upload screenshots in the next hour.

So far 2-0 win against united (4ccs created)

 

[Mr Langvatn]

Started testing a 3-5-2 version of the DDDMC Angels now, with some defensive corner tweaks, and striker tweak So far 7-1-0 again... always drawing away against City it seems But this stuff looks even more solid in the back than the rock. However, not high scoring Will be cool to see how this one ends up

 

[Jimmy_x_]

Next game 3-1 win over hull (2cccs created to their 2 aswell).

First away game with an unfluid tactic so can't really take much from this tactic other than proof my team is stronger man for man.

 

[Mr Langvatn]

Wow. I must say, this 3-5-2 version looks very solid in the back! A bit shy on the offensive side though Maybe gonna do some changes to it and start over

Based on this outcome, I probably know the answer to this question but I'll ask anyway: when using this tactic do you ever find that your players perform terribly but manage to win anyway? I don't know if it's a consequence of my team having used the 4-1-4-1 Rock Classic for five seasons but using the 2-5-3 leads to a lot of awful performances from my team. Sometimes they'll start brightly but I've notice a significant increase in the number of times I have to rage at them at half time to pull their fingers out.

I don't know if it's possible to blame something like that on a tactic or if, like I said, it's based on the sudden changes (although the tactic is fluid). Maybe my team is just tired of me now and they're finding it hard to get motivated. I'm still winning more often than not but draws and even losses have crept in and even the wins are sometimes incredibly hard-fought.

I dominate most games with it with liverpool, so can't say the same. Most teams under me have under 2 shots on goal.
