This was the initial shape i wanted to create however it wasnt working in beta, the deep wingers worked much better. I have been holidaying it up and have alot of work reformatting the OP to correct info again, and I will be testing this shape out too :D

thanks all for continuing to use and support this thread :D

Glad to hear from you mate! I am still using your tactic although not getting a lot of playing time at the moment. The one on OP is doing decently on 14.2.1 but not quite as consistent. Still want to carry on with your tactic though as it makes sense in a football way. Not exploiting just using stuff you've learnt to get a good system in place. I love the fact that PPM and attributes count too rather than loads of player instructions.

This is all good mate, I have noticed that I did not update the original tactic to include set pieces for 14.2 also, so a number of goals conceded may be due to this, and as always a work in progress will be striving to improve this and my own personal game knowledge along the way.
have just set up myself a little afc wimbledon save to do me till the transfer window closes. I will probably document this along the way aswell.
 
looks like a real deal tactic. plugged it in 3 days before my cup game and won 5-0. my striker finally scores.
 
Callamity check the results in mantorra's thread of your tactic. Amazing!!!!!!
 
I see the results for most people are great! I'm gonna try this tactic with Ajax... Hope it brings the Champions Cup back to Amsterdam! I only have one question. Callamity, what do you do when winning or losing in match?

If im winning, I usually just keep to it the game is usually settled by half time. If im loosing the only thing I do is take off any player underperforming and I usually bring it back just by doing this.

Its always good to make substitutions around the 60-70 minute mark aswell to avoid fatigue causing mistakes which leads to goals

Hi Callamity, there was any doubt about this being a fantastic tactic, my problem is with FM itself.

I played 8 games with your tactic(14.2) and using the "Defend Set Pieces" training as suggested. We did in fact improve dramatically in conceding from set pieces, but all FM has done is allow the AI to score from other avenues.

Here are 4 of the 8 games i played(match stats) with an explanation of goals conceded.

Game 1

The kicker in this game is that for 83 minutes Southampton had had 6 shots and 5 from distance, we had 2 ccc's and a half chance and looked like the only team going to win the game, until a unforced error from my DM put through Lambert for a tap in.

Game 2

Man City's first goal was a "freak" goal as once again our opposition didn't look at all like scoring. The 2nd goal was an injury time penalty out of absolutely nothing.

Game 3

This was just half time and again all the AI need is 1 chance. I did actually draw this game after battering them all 2nd half.

Game 4

Should have at least been a close game, but EVERY Spurs goal is from an unforced defensive error(my quality DC Zapater giving away 2 of them) plus amazingly we also missed a penalty, something i've not witnessed the AI do since the last patch.

So although we have all but stopped conceding from corners and free kicks, the AI is still finding a way to score a whole host of cheap goals that has practically made FM14 unplayable.

Magic tactic though!

Not gonna lie man, short end of stick when it comes to luck lol. you've had some great results before too though right?
I faceplanted last night when my wimbledon team basic squad managed to beat ipswich in the cup 2-1, then was 2-0 up against scunthorpe to draw the game 2-2 with an 89th and 93rd minute goal from stupid mistakes
 
Callamity, tactic still have old set pieces setup? or u updated it to 14.2 ;) ?

The one that performed so well in mantorra's thread is the old set pieces still xD not updated it yet, not made 4 months in game yet to test xD sorry
 
so how the **** it could go that well in his test with those old settings :D ? simply amazing ;) !
 
What are people setting match training on when the tactics are fully learned?
 
Im so confused now �� which tactic did so well in Mantorras' Tactic Testing League? This tactic used to be unbelievable and i thought it died down, but apparently not?
 
Def set pieces just seems like a waste when they're almost impossible to stop anyway. Have people tried def positioning or att movement. How did it work out?

am still confused m8 what is better, but for now i see only two options - Callamitys tactic and Midfield Maestro (but only away version) from Jassar. both have the same formation, with both i have good results, but which one is better? really, reaaaallly hard to say.
