I set out to make a tactic that is both good defensively and good at attacking, usually ill go for all out attack or all out defense, i also tried to add something iv never done before and after thinking what i could do for a while i decided to make a tactic to suit playing teams with certain formations.
so i had to make a good attacking tactic which is equally good in defense while creating formations to suit playing certain formation, soo it was no easy feet to create.
After a while i had come up with three formations but same tactic for all.
The aim of the three formations was to turn an opponents strengths into his weakness, again no easy feet.
So with the basic tactic and formations i set about testing and the results where amazing to say the least.
I did the testing over three and half seasons with derby county. First season i got promotion via play offs after finishing 5th in the league with a very basic team, 2nd season i finished 13th in the prem, 4th season i finished 5th and the won Europa cup and the 4th season i was top in December before my save went corrupt! I did however start a new save but made the formations more advanced, ill post these formations in the thread.
ill explain the tactics below vvv
My tactic is split into three formations (4-2-3-1, 4-3-2-1 and 4-1-2-2-1) soo ill explain each formation and how to use them below vvv
Formation one (4-2-3-1)
short description: this is most attacking out of the three formations and the goals are usually shared around the top 4 usually ACM getting most of them but the CMs also get there fair share.
key players:Both wingers and ACM also need decent striker + CMs.
formation to play against: standard 4-4-2

Formation two (4-3-2-1)
short description: This is my favorite one of the three and is probably the most well balanced out of the three.
Key players: Both wingers and striker also need good CMs
Formation to play against: any formation with CDM unless they have ACM then you would use formation three.

Formation three (4-1-2-2-1)
Short description: Ths is the most defensive one out of the three and it aims to keep the ACM of the ball and not allow him space or time on the ball.
Key players: again bother wingers, CDM and decent Cms
formation to play against: any formation using an ACM
