Still not quite sure how tactics work in FM09. I was kind of used to plug&play tactics but this doesn’t seem to work well. Strange thing is that I can win from bigger teams but I struggle against the lower level teams.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

My team has a couple of limitations. First of all, I’m playing with a back four. Second I have great DM’s and great AMC’s. Lastly I don’t like playing 4-4-2. Don’t know why, I guess it is a neurotic thing and it seems the less creative option. Don’t mind 4-4-2 diamond though.<o

What I’m looking for I a standard tactic from with to deviate. Right now I’m using 4-1-2-1-2 as my standard home tactic sometimes switching to 4-1-3-2 attacking for the weaker teams. Away I tend to use 4-1-3-2 standard or defensive or with much weaker teams 4-1-2-1-2. However this can fail miserably. Against Arsenal I lost 7-0 after beating Man U 0-2. At first I thought it was because of an attacking 4-4-2 tactic but I have won and lost against teams with that setup leading me to think there must be more reasons. <o

Can anyone give me some insight as to which tactics or pitch sizes these tactics (4-1-2-1-2/4-1-3-2) seem vulnerable? Also is there some tactic very similar to these two to which I can switch to counter the weaknesses? Or could all problems be solved by using the PI or team instructions? Lastly how many formations do you use in any given season? <o

My team is very strong in midfield ,got some great strikers, decent backs, poor central defenders and poor wingers. <o
