It's a global mentality system so it might just not suit your management style. Global mentality needs a settled team, the right players, an inspirational manager type and confidence in the manager's ability. Lack any one of those and your team will play nowhere near to their ability.
 
Awesome tactic. used it for Villa and won first game 4-1 away at Liverpool. Thanks a lot!!
 
I've just adopted this tactic for my Coventry side in second season...first year i over achieved finishing 11th after being predicted 21st however second season sydrome really hit with me in 22nd after 19 games..

Under this though things have improved in the 6 games i've used it, obviously gradually because of the low moral and time to adapt and me lacking in decent wide men.

The 6 games though have gone:

Swansea 3-0
Stoke 1-3
Forest 1-1
Westham 1-1
Burnley 2-0
Bristol City 2-1

so pretty good stuff really so far thanks!!
 
Now i'm angry i'm at work instead of home to try this tactic... I have been playing FM since the 05 version but till this 09 i have not been able to understand the tactics... oO) I will try this one for sure when i reach home today. It dose look like a good tactic and for my Juventus team it should work... (I got there from managing a team in Romanian second league) I will update you and let you know what i had managed after using this tactic for 5 games.
 
STEAUA BUCHAREST,
Fantastic work i must say iv been using it with ac milan on my game bin doing very well...!!
givein it ago with villa now as i got abit of a feel for the game n that but who did you sign for the villa when you 1st started cos as you no you only get bout 10m n was thinkin ov signin a couple but youve bin there n done it so didnt no weather to go about replacing shorey , l young n if reo-cockers negood at the dm cos says he only accomplised there

man utd no prem league :(

been playing with man utd for 2 season now...1st season i won the champions league and the league cup, and finished 3rd in prem (Arsenal are too good - unrealistically good!!, i mean bendtner is laaaaaaaame in real life, and he is an amazing target man for them :@...this season i haved signed a few players...balotelli, marquinhos, marcelo (£5mill)...this season i am undefeated in 23 games, but im drawing too many (9 i think) and arsenal are dominating the league....theyve only lost one....gonna try the formation steau posted but ive been playing with 4-4-2 fairly attacking at home with both wingers pushing on, and away from home i have been playin 4-1-2-2-1, (4 Def's, 1 DM, 2 Mid's, 2 attacking wingers and one striker - usually berbatov - target man).....
 
Pretty much the same as the tactic i have on mine. It's got me the title a few times with Liverpool and making City top 4 atm. Only works properley imo if the midfielders are good enough.

Also i play more emphasis on the width with this tactic with quality wingers making a big difference every game. It seems more suited for width play too especially with only 2 in the middle.
 
I have steaua bucharest's tactic and I found it really good just started my career out and already won 2 games :D

friendly games don't prove anything yet, mate... ;) I usually win my friendly games with 10:0 or at least 6:0 ..... just wait till you get into the real competitive matches and play big teams like inter and ACMilan... then we'll see.... 8-|

Good luck!
 
I have tried this tactic in five matches, I lost to Liverpool and Sunderland and played 1-1 against Dinamo at home .. it is something I am doing wrong .. I am a Man City .. I bought veloso, moutinho, asenjo, balotelli, srna, zhirkov, g.rossi ..​

Try to set veloso as a defensive midfielder, you will see that he can penetrate amazingly, set him to be "free role" and "run with ball" but not "forward run"
 
I think it's a pretty decent tactic by the looks of it but is there a direct link to download it cus I can't seem to see a direct link unless I am blind :D
 
hey fellas:D im back once again but this time...i have developed a tactic for...Villa

Using this tactic it is going pretty well. Planning to strenghen my defense over the summer. Not really sure what type of player to play in the CM position. I am thinking more an all rounder then anything else?
