*** The Panzer Tactics set ***

Hello and welcome to the Panzer tactics set! Currently it contains 3 tactics: 3-5-2 ** 4-2-3-1 ** 3-2-2-1-2

Tactic 1 - 3-5-2 The Panzer General
The Panzer General

Hello fellow managers,
What do you think of the formation 3-5-2? It is rarely seen nowadays on the forum, isn't it? We have tons of 4-3-3 types of tactics, but this Italian style is quite unique today. I followed the same logic previously, trying to create something which is not commonly used, when posted this 4-4-2 here, but it didn't got much attention.
Okay, let's talk about Park the tank - The Panzer General. We got 4 defensive minded players, 2 on automatic which count as support on control mentality, 1 is on support and 3 are on attack. Put your best central defender to the middle, positioning, decision and anticipation is essential for him. The complete wing backs are key to the way we play, as they will create lots of chances, do have to tackle and intercept and needs to possess fair amount of stamina. The CM on defend has to be a bulldog. The pain in the ***. When chosen correctly, he will have 8+ tackles per game and fair amount of interceptions, but still, the lowest average rating in the squad. Do not pay much attention to that. The other 2 CM can be more creative, will be involved in most of the attacks. Both strikers are running wide with the ball to draw away central defenders from inner positions. Avoid using slow players here. If you found that your team and especially your strikers don't have fair amount of shots in a match, change their roles.
Important
- Watch the game. If you see the opponent is using long through balls, tick play deeper
- Strikers are taking corners
- Pre-season: use fitness – high until you get 2 weeks before of the first competitive match, balanced – average afterwards
- Use match tactics training until it gets fully fluid, Defensive positioning afterwards
- Create 2nd​ and/or 3rd​ tactics, even if you aren’t using them. Let’s keep the ME guessing.
- Keep morale high and choose team talks carefully. If you are playing against stronger opponent, say assertively: encourage. If your players are looking not that interested: say assertively: show some passion. If you are leading in the 70th​ minute, say assertively: concentrate. If you experience your team got too much yellow cards, say assertively: calm down.

I got only 1 transfer, buying Paloschi from Chievo. This tactic enabled 26 clean sheets in 60 matches. Won the Europa League, the Italian Cup and 2nd place in the league with 100 points.
I guess that’s all. I would really appreciate your comments, feedbacks. Please post your results if trying this one.

Tactic 2 - 4-2-3-1 The Panzer Admiral


The Panzer Admiral

As this is a new tactic, I am updating separated like this. The new idea is a 4-2-3-1 with new OI's, little change to Team Instructions and every general setting remained the same. When using Panzer Admiral, you'll see your team is having the possesion, getting loads of shots while still remains sold at the back. 1 important note: change to counter on the tough away games, but use control 97% of the time.

Important
- Watch the game. If you see the opponent is using long through balls, tick play deeper
- Wingbacks are taking the corners. Left the left one and vica versa.
- Pre-season: use fitness – high until you get 2 weeks before of the first competitive match, balanced – average afterwards
- Use match tactics training until it gets fully fluid, Defensive positioning afterwards
- Create 2nd​ and/or 3rd​ tactics, even if you aren’t using them. Let’s keep the ME guessing.
- Keep morale high and choose team talks carefully. If you are playing against stronger opponent, say assertively: encourage. If your players are looking not that interested: say assertively: show some passion. If you are leading in the 70th​ minute, say assertively: concentrate. If you experience your team got too much yellow cards, say assertively: calm down.

In this test save, beside winning the PL, we got until the final of the League Cup and won the FA Cup. No transfers were made.

Tactic 3: 3-2-2-1-2 The Panzer Marshall

The Panzer Marshall

In this tactic, my aim was to create something very different in terms of tactical setup and team instructions. As you can see on the team instructions screen the play is disciplined, very straightforward attacking football. When whatching the matches, you can see that it's a counter-style sometimes which I really like to see on the pitch. The strikers will be the main goalscoring threats, for me Balotelli scored 52 in 48 matches, and Sturridge got 30 in 37 matches and 24 assists.

Important
- Watch the game. If you see the opponent is using long through balls, tick play deeper
- Wide midfielders are taking corners: left sided the right corner and vica versa.
- Pre-season: use fitness – high until you get 2 weeks before of the first competitive match, balanced – average afterwards
- Use match tactics training until it gets fully fluid, Defensive positioning afterwards
- Create 2nd​ and/or 3rd​ tactics, even if you aren’t using them. Let’s keep the ME guessing.
- Keep morale high and choose team talks carefully. If you are playing against stronger opponent, say assertively: encourage. If your players are looking not that interested: say assertively: show some passion. If you are leading in the 70th​ minute, say assertively: concentrate. If you experience your team got too much yellow cards, say assertively: calm down.
- The wide midfielders are cutting inside, but it doesn't means you have to play right footed on the left and vica versa.

In this test save I sold Johnson and Flanagan and bought Luisao, Gonzalo Rodriguez, André Ayew and Doumbia to get 2 players for each position. We won the PL, the League Cup and the Champions League.

i think you 442 is good, you should put this as v2 in your old topic
and midle CD is stopper kinda interesting
 
Do you have the right players for this tactic? Is this fluid for your squad?
 
Inter not a bad team.....you should try a weaker team to do so
 
Not bad, but nowhere near of Juventus. You can try with lower profile team.

@vitoco: will try later, but I'm not sure when I'll playing again.
 
Who should på the strikers in 4-4-2 with everton?
 
I have Lukaku, Munir, vicent Aboubakar, Richairo Zivkovic, which you think better for this tactic, and what kind of midefiled you advise
 
try mine with lukaku right (IF) retrain

Zvikovic false 9 with comes deep to get ball trained move

Munir or better if u can sign him krejci from spata prague as left (AP)

What is actually wrong with you?!
 
im helping him thats all sorry for offending or should i say breathing
Dude, I actually somewhat defended you in your own thread, so please...
Pretty sure he's fine with you breathing, it's just rude to promote your own tactic in another guys thread! Posting should be done if you have something relevant to the given tactic (eg. experience, tweaks etc.), not convincing people to go to your thread/tactic!
 
Back on track - I think 100 points with Inter first season is still somewhat impressive, so I'll be given it a quick spin tomorrow - will report back :) Curious if the strong defense will hold up when you're a smaller team though :)
 
If you guys experiencing the strikers are out of play, try to change their roles, I used DLF-A for both in lots of cases.
