Joshh, um, cant remember the original one to be honest :) nothing to the defense at all though :) I have changed the Aml to advanced playmaker as I have retrained Rossi there :) I have a Ball wininng mid - defend Mcl (Mariga)

I can upload it for you if you want? :) the same one I use for Villareal?

Crsity, yes it would be,they are a good team :) what budget do you have?
 
Raikan, could you tell me how to tweak tactic in second season of using your tactic, or you don't have to do that, i mean what to do or how change your tactic to be so good as in first season?

you've said
well for the 1st season that is absolutely fantastic mate well done! do you tweak your tactics at all? you need to change it up every season or so or the AI supposedly deems the tactic inefectual against them... so you need to change it up mate either change your philosophy, width, tempo etc... or even the formation make it into a 44-2 or bring up the DM to the CM role

so .... changing philosophy in season (balanced, next game fluid and so on..) will be good? or only setting another role for dm but not changing his position

i'm asking because my first season in polish league was brilliant, won title without losing a game, in euro league won group stage (only beaten once by Vfb Stuttgart, won against Motherwell, Palermo, Basel, draw two times with Aston Villa) and been knocked out by Auxerre and now i can win againt Bayern M. 3-1 but i lose against Salzburg 5-0 ....

sorry for english but here in Poland it's nice evening and lots of beer :)
 
haha, awesome mate, what were you drinking?

once the team has become fluid/familiar with the tactic, you can change to fluid or very fluid if you have a lot of creative players in your sqaud.. setting from control to attacking and maybe changing your tempo to a little quicker now that you are playing attacking football and changing your passing to direct will help as well...
 
Guinness and some local beers from my region :) now i have to "fight" with hangover, so .... fridge is not empty :P

Raikan, i've played my first season with your tactic, fluid, offensive and short passing, i will leave it as it is for weaker teams and for teams similar to my, but when i will be playing against stronger then maybe change it to fluid, control, direct passing? (or even change it to counter attack style of play against teams like Chelsea etc)
 
yeah, change it to counter when playing the big boys in the ECL, hit them on the counter and play quickly.. they will play slowly and try to control the game! even set it to balanced or rigid so each player does their job and not anything else like in fluid...

good luck with the hangover :)
 
How do i use this tactic? I see you say you have to change the tactic to suit my team ( man utd). However i never really like tweaking as i always make the tactic work. Could you suggest a few things for man utd?

Also do i have to use shouts with this, as i usually dont like using them.
 
hey Raikan this tactic is really good for my aston villa side a quick question, my centre midfeild is ramsey (24 years old) canales (24) and DMC is fellaini what roles would you suggest? ramsey or canales as the attacking playmaker? i'm in january 2015 btw
 
Jimmy, you download it, save it in your tactic folder in mydocs/sportsinteractive/fm11, plug and play then mate :)

gates, glad its working ;) Fellaini either Anchor Man (with some creative freedom, passing, running with the ball) allow for his attacking side to come through a bit

Ramsey, depends on how he has developed, Adv Playmaker - Support and Canales Adv Playmaker - Attack :)
 
some more updates... unbeaten in 37 games

a few updates so far for the 3rd season...
 
Hey i'm interested on this tactic! Which pitch size do you use ?
 
cheers raikan i'll try it ramsey hasn't developed hugly but i hear 24 is the sort of age he starts to really sprout and i checked his PA (i couldent help myself) and its 192 so he should become incredible
 
I've been experimenting with a twist on similar tactic with Newcastle. Instead of using standard wingers or inside forwards at AML-AMR, I'm playing trequartistas (two-footed ones at that) with great results. It is a Fluid 4-3-3, usually with slightly above normal tempo and sometimes quick with shorter passing. The only big change I make is with my defensive line depending on the opponent. If I'm playing against fast strikers (like Sunderland with Wellbeck and Gyan), I play a deeper line. Against others, I will push up. My away record is actually better than my home.

I used the Andeh Carroll money to piece together this line-up in year one:

GK- Carlos Kameni
DL- Jose Enrique (attack/support)
DR- Gabriel Silva (attack/support)
CB- Mirel Radoi (standard)
CB- Gary Cahill (standard)
DM- Gilberto Silva (anchor, allows more aggressive FB play)
CM- Kevin Nolan/Cheik Tiote (ball winning, support)
CM- Aaron Ramsey * (advanced playmaker, attack, run with ball sometimes/rarely)
AML- Christian Eriksen * (advanced playmaker, cut inside, if playing against defensive fullback, tuck him inside left trequartista)
AMR- Hatem Ben Arfa (advanced playmaker/winger, attack, cuts inside)
ST- Romelu Lukaku (target man, attack)

* loan

I was expected to try and stay up at the start of season expectations, but I'm currently 12 points ahead of 5th place for a Champions League spot. With 31 games played so far in the experiment, I'm tied for 2nd place in the league with Arsenal (Man U three points clear). Ben Arfa and Lukaku both have over 8 ratings. Lukaku is second in the league in scoring. Ben Arfa and Eriksen both tied for the league lead in assists. I'm in FA Cup semis after knocking out Man U in extra time (4-2).

I'm second in goals scored overall, and tied for first in fewest goals allowed. I've found that having two footed in-cutting players from wide positions is especially devasting. Eriksen and Ben Arfa are consistently 8+ rated. Not many teams in the EPL use a double screen, so in-cutters have lots of space to run into and the opposition is pulled out of shape repeatedly. Two-footed attackers are worth their weight in gold, even if out of their natural position.

I forgot to mention another key feature of my tactic is setting always close down on opposing fullbacks. Since I have "softer" players out wide, I use what workrate they have (usually little) to close down the fullbacks. If I give the opposing FBs time to get a running start (like an Evra type), I won't be able to stop them from getting forward. Closing down usually gets them off of the ball quickly when they are inside their own half, which is where I want my team playing, and I gain possession by chasing down hurried passes.

Hey I'm trying your tactic with Hoffenheim, not going badly but 50% of the goals i concede are from corners. Am i the only one with this problem ?
 
Kluivert, is this your own tactic you have made or did you use mine as a template to tweak it into the one you are referring too?

marveen, try and manually set up your defenders to counter the problem then, are they getting in front of the ball (front post) or behind (back post) put your two biggest players there and make sure you have at least 2 players standing on the posts and have your players man mark!
 
Raikan, im completely new to this type of formation/tactic... Generally stick to 442/424. Do the wingers have to be wrong footed (AML a right footer) or not? or doesnt it really matter?... im asking because im about to start a new game as Sociedad and Xabi Prieto is easily my best player and id like to see if he could be effective in that role.
