Press the right button and problem is solved!
 
Just played a season with 4-1-4-1 Rock (not classic) with IFK Göteborg in Sweden and had great results, lost only 2 matches in the whole season (strangely enough, they were against very easy opponents), scored 57 goals and conceded 15. So also the not classic version seems to be working really fine! Also scored 10 goals from corners in the league (I slightly tuned the corners myself), and 2nd highest teams scoring from corners had just 5. Gonna try this tactic again with some other team.

One question: has anyone made the tactic work with a slow and big poacher? I could get one with extremely good finishing and mental attributes, only problem is pace/acceleration. Or still better with a faster guy who is worse technically/mentally? Thanks!

I am using the rock classic with Husqvarna and have had 2 promotions in a row, losing only 2 games in 2 seasons and I have been using nothing but strong target man type strikers as I find they work better. Strength is a key attribute in this years game. Just about to start my first season in the Superetten but am still a part time team so struggling to sign any players. Should be interesting.

I also managed to qualify for the world cup with Sweden finishing 2nd in the group and beating Italy over 2 legs in the playoffs. Zlatan had been a bit pants, Toivonen was much better up top, so I would avoid lazy strikers with low work rate.
 
hey dannyver wat do u mean by the right button lol right click on mouse lol it sounds stupid i no :S
 
This tactic seems to bring out many MoM performances from opposing teams CBs. I need a stronger, bigger striker?
 
4-1-4-1 Rock Classic
This tactic just outstanding, absolutely! :) Every time that I played for Krylja Sovetov (Not only in FM 2013, but in 11-12 also) it took me at least 6-7 years to become a champions. But at that moment I've already had a squad with great regens which was only a bit weaker than default squads of Zenit or CSKA (for example).


But now I used my team's default squad with minor changes (Three players were sold and I also signed Dmitry Loskov (Which is 38 years old and had 2.5 stars on that moment) as a free agent and took on loan Starokin (Levski) and Ewerton (Anji).


I have to say that I used Underdog Beast tactic two or three times too, because my opponents had really good teams for those matches.
Btw, when a applied search filters I saw that only two or three players from Krylja Sovetov was found on some positions, but they was from my reserve, so I didn't use them (Well, maybe few substitutions during all the season).

Which players/positions excited me most:


Dmity Loskov (Central Midfielder)
View attachment 356691
It was his second youth :) When I signed this player I was hoping that he can improve middle-line, but even I didn't expect such nice game from him! 16 assists and 4 goals for 24 games was absolutely awesome.


Stanislau Drahun (Central Midfielder)
View attachment 356688
Another awesome midlfielder which scored amazing 15 goals and 8 assists for 24 games! With Loskov they crushed opponent's defense just like the old mighty Hulk (not Brazilian, but the green guy ^^))


Sergey Kornilenko (Striker)
View attachment 356690
I knew that he can be a great scorer, but in some of my careers he played not so good so I was very happy when he scored 18 goals total and take third place in Top Goalscrorer list between Rondon, Pavlyuchenko and Eto`O which are muuuch more expensive (In the wage too) players.


Bruno Teles (Defender Left)
View attachment 356694
I've never seen him in such great shape! He runs across the field every game and even much more expensive and highly rated players couldn't pass through him. Great season.


Evgeny Balyaikin (Midfielder Left)
View attachment 356687
Actually his best position - DM, but I didn't have enough players to keep an LM position in safe, so I decided to put Balyaikin on left side for a time, where he have only 2.5 stars. But I have to say that it was a good decision and he scored 3 times and made 8 assists which is great.


Verkhovtsov-Ewerton-AmisulashvilI (Central Defenders)
View attachment 356686View attachment 356689View attachment 356696
Well, I have not much to say about each of these guys, but together they made a good defensive line in the middle. Of course each of them did some mistakes in a couple of games but it was not so seriously.


Denis Vavilin (Goalkeeper)
View attachment 356695
At the end of the season my first GK (Veremko) was injured so I had no other choice for that position but Vavilin. He has only 1.5 stars vs 4 stars of Veremko, but missed only 5 goals in 8 matches total. Even against Zenit (4-2), CSKA (2-1) and AnjI (0-0) with their best players he looked very well. 3 goals in such games for such low-rated goalkeeper - it's really good.


The only player which disappointed me was Luis Caballero (Striker). He is good IRL and in game have nice skills too (Especially for our team) but he defintely couldn't show any of his skills, so I had no other choice but sell him off. So sad :(


Hope that my post isn't too large. And I also hope that your eyes didn't bleed because of my English :)
 
Hi Mr. Langvatn. First off congrats on a great tactic 4141 rock Classic is awesome, but... MY GOD i recieve many Cards and when i'm in the opp penalty area i tend to get send off rather than getting the penalty. 8/10 times i get a second yellow Card, ofcourse it's the player with the yellow Card that dives, but I have yet to see the AI getting a yellow card for diving in the area, maybe i've seen it once or twice within the periode i've played fm 13. Anyone else experienced this, cause I have never seen such Hollywood tendencies in the history of CM and FM ;P. The tactic is working wonderful and I don't think it's tactic related, it just seems unrealistic getting so many cards for diving.
 
try to put tackle 1 tick to left and see if it changes the tactic ? whos is getting many cards?? I hope i can post some results tonight. I started with Blyth Spartans and doing a only youth challenge. So no buy and no loans. i am in February now and with only 16 players i standing first so promotion to BSS will be a fact. My topscorer is my Striker ;) 28 games, 28 goals haha ;) less conceded in competition. Lost 2-1 to Wolves for FA Cup. But that was in the 3rd round. Could cash some nice money for that :) overall this tactic is AWESOME !
 
First season with Newcastle finished
League: 3rd
Fa Cup: Won
League cup: Won
Europa League: Quarters
Pretty **** good first season thanks for the great tactic :)
 
DM is Deep-Lying Playmaker in Rock Classic and GK is normal or sweeper Goalie ? I mean in training and attributes :)
