Rinus Michels - Total Football - by kun 20.4.1

Ok, here it goes Players Instructions (Left Wing-Back = Right Wing-Back // Left CB = Right CB // Left Inside Forward = Right Inside Forward)
The only change for the 4231 is that the AP (attack) becomes SS. The SS of the Shadow Striker will be sent in he end.

Did you use the tactics in League One? (AFCW). Will lower league players be able to suit the roles?

Hi xeno94,
Like I explained, this tactic was developed when I was on 8th season in my main save in AFCW.
To be honest, I don't know if this works there in LLM, but tomorrow I'll give it a try.

Thanks dude. I will also give it a go with my team in league two.

I've been using fairly basic 442 to climb up llm, but want to incorporate a more technical tactic once I get better CA players.
 
Arsenal. First Season. No transfers. 4-2-3-1

*****433 TEST with KIDDERMINSTER HARRIERS - 100% Holiday Mode*****
Hi guys,
Just tried with Kidderminster Harriers (Vanarama National League North) and end up in 1st (101 pts). Went on vacations mode, just asked the owner to make the transfers (in and out) and then play with my 433 tactic.
As I forgot to comeback from holiday before the next season begins, I miss the team and individual stats of that season. But, in December we had more than 60% possession average and top of goal scored, chances created).
SS - 1st season
(1) League champions with 101 pts

(2) As you also can see, 100% of the days were on holiday.

(3) We also have won the FA Trophy, and on knockout rounds we only faced teams one tier higher.

(4) Now I'm in November of the 2nd season (still on vacation, just stopped to take the SS) and our media prediction is 19th and we are now in 1st !

(5) Most possession and most goals.

Both tactics working very well with my team, but strikers just doesnt perform. Whoever is playing up front just cant score.
Hi zabraihsipassa,
On my recent testing of 433, the F9 is performing pretty well, mostly if we consider his quality for the league level:

1590414498179.png


And also on my main save, Miguel is an absolute beast.
 
433 perform better for me personally
hi ta2199,
Yes, to me as well. I just decided to upload both because I get good results as well with 4231. And as far as I could understand from some FM players, that this year "regular formations" doesn't perform well. So, I decided to upload 2 of the most popular formations.
WBA is a good side for Championship, but without a single lose is pretty good! :)
 
Hi ElComandante92,
Like I said in a comment before, is so cool to have guys like you saying that you have enjoyed playing with my tactics, make me so proud and think that worth the time I spent back those days.
About possession tactic, as you may know, I prefer attacking minded and possession based tactic, but in recents match engine, I guess it's been very difficult to find a balance between a tactic with high % of possession and get massive results.It may be possible to find, but like I said in comment before, a lot of things changed in my life since 2014. Now I'm father (of the next world class striker) ahah, experienced some new jobs in between, so the time to develop a good tactic decresed a lot. Eventhough, now at home due to covid-19 I had more time to relive those memories. :)
About a tactic with high possession, I made one where I can get more than 75% of possession in 95% of the matches, but doesn't create much chances hahaha
P.S.:With that tactic, I managed to find a bug on the game. It's about the individual complete passes during the game. :) :)
(below SS doesn't belong to the tactic of this thread)

Hi Kun,

I'm really happy that you came back and found some time for the FM community. I also hope that, in these pandemic times, your whole family is well and healthy. Could you send me your possession tactic (75%) for me to do some tests? If you don't want to publish, you can send me via PM. I can try to do some tweak. Thank you!

ElComandante92, yes, everything is pretty fine with me and my family. Hope with you too.Regarding that tactic, is so freaking awkward you will see ahah
At this moment, I cannot send you the tactic because I'm not in the desktop (is where I have that tactic) ahaha Send me PM and we will talk from there. ;)
 
****4231 TEST with BAYER LEVERKUSEN - 100% Holiday Mode*****
Hi guys,
Just tried with Bayer Leverkusen in 2 seasons. I asked to refuse all the offers (which lead to several players unhappy, Bailley was taking the whole team to agree with him saying that he deserves to play for better team...)
1st Season: Bundesliga Winners. Nothing else... So, not that impressive. But, gave it a go for a 2nd season... :)
2nd Season: Bundesliga Winners, Uefa Champions League Winners against Liverpool... 4-1. Domestic cup were not good enough. :censored: Bonus: U19 Lerverkusen team lost in Uefa Youth League Final against Bayern...

Cons: Seems that 4231 is worst in possession and the false 9 doesn't score that much.
 
F9 is necessary? My top strikers always PF/AF

For the Rinus Michels idea, is one "must have", but anyway, it can work, just use with the instruction "move into channels" and/or, "hold up ball".
