Previously i've played with other peoples tactics, but it's not as fun so about to use my own and try and develop a solid tactic and solid tweaks subject to trail/fail and suggestions from you.
Right, this could fail miserabley but i'm going to show you tactics of my team and tweaks etc and the results etc in this thread. Hopefully i can be succesful and people can use the tactics accordingly.
BTW if someone can tell me how to print screen i'll put up stuff
And if people offer suggestions i'm open to hearing them.
Anyway:
Currently keep the same 4-2-2-2 tactic which is attacking for every home game. I also use it for away games against teams who have a large and wide pitch like mine (since i made anfield massive).
Got a control tactic which i've slightly tweaked the positions i think from either the happy hammer project or the benitez 4-4-2 .. can't remember.
Also made a tactic for Congested pitches away from home.
Fenerbache away: 1-1 Half time, won 3-1
Played my 4-2-2-2 tactic.
Hadn't fully adjusted the defenders set roles until after half-time which after a stern telling off the players perfomed better.
OI's: tight market, closed down hard tackled and put on weaker foot the lone striker, did the same for the AMC. Went hard and weaker footed the wingers and the CM's
Birmingham away: 2-0 half time, won 3-1
Scouts said St. Andrews is congested and players will need to work hard. Using my congested tactic to start the game with.
Also they have fast strikers so using my congested tactic with a tweak on the defensive line with deep defending.
Began with OI's to do everything possible to stop the threat of McFadden. On their strongish striker had weak tackling to take his strength out and make him use skill and closed him down/tight marked and weaker footed him. For their quick striker didn't close him down so he couldn't nip past my defenders as they made a mistake, also had him on weaker foot and hard tackled. Hard tackled and weaker footed their CM's. They got a goal back at 2-1 from a corner and was tempted to move to a more defensive tactic to conserve the win, but decided the remain plying pressure on their team and got the result.
Bolton at home: 2-0 half time, 3-0 full time
Began with my home tactic so i could dictate the play. Usually i would of been careful and played a controling game so i didn't get hit on the counter, but instead playing attacking trying to get as many goals as possible since morale is high. They're down to 10 men at half time so put tempo and width on it's highest in an attempt to run them into the ground.
OI's is closing down their DM and hard taclking and weaker footing him at all times. Their midfield is just being put on their weaker foot and hard/weak taclking done according to who their player is (strength wise). Tight marking their lone striker, with hard taclking closing down etc. Enjoyed all the possesion of the match. Negative side is starting to notice alot of my goals are coming from long range/set pieces and crosses....only a few are coming from strikers interacting with one-another which could indicate individual tweaking.
Athletic Madrid at home: 2-0 half time, 2-0 full time
Again taking the game to them so sticking with the home tactic.
OI's of doing everything possible to prevent aguero and Forlan getting space...trying to bully them out of the game with Zapata and Macherano man marking and going in hard on them.
Closing down and going in hard on their wingers, and their CM's too.
By half time Aguero is being marked out of the game even making a mistake leading to a goal. Still enjoying quality of possesion. They're only a real threat from long-range...with previous tactics Forlan and Aguero had run my defense ragged.
They missed a penalty and enjoyed more possesion the second half...starting to think that for harder games a tweak of my home tactic is required for around the 55minute mark when the opposing manager has finally figured out my tactic.
Wigan at home: 1-0 half time, 3-0 full time
Usual tactic and OI's for a team playing 4 in midfield with an AMC and a lone striker. First half was boring but got a goal, restricted them to only long shots, but our possesion isn't great. Has all the makings for a bore-draw.
Second half more entertaining with more chances on targets resulting in a comfortable result.
Arsenal away: Half time 2-2, Full time 2-2
Easily the hardest match of the season so far since in about 13 games they've won 11 and drawn 2. Battling them atm for 2nd place since Chelsea have won every game this season.
Reverting back to my congested away tactic since Emirates is quite a small pitch. Still giving my Attacking CM alot of creativity to try and conjure something for me.
OI's: Trying to mark Adebayor and Fabregas out of the game...may backfire if Fabregas drops into space and Van-Persie gets space due to Zapata being on Adebayor....hoping Carraghers stamina and work-rate will allow him to clear up against VP. Not marking or closing down Walcott because he's too quick. Still going hard on Adebayor because he's skilfull too.
Went 2-0 down within 20 mins...obvious congestion tactic wasn't working so reverted back to my home tactic and enjoyed the majority of possesion until half-time
2nd half had a goal disallowed...played the better of the two teams and should of won when they went down to 10-men in 82 mins....close game.
