Curious Question everyone, but first a little back story,
About to enter the 2017/2018 Season in my FM2014 game started unemployed, but made myself with an international rep, so it wouldn't be to hard to land the bigger teams in the future. Now after 2 pretty successful season as Bayern Munich's Head Coach (1st Season, Won League and Pokal, but knocked out in CL QFs, and 2nd season Won League again, lost in Finals for Pokal and Champions League, ugh, haha) Manchester City opened up in my game since Pellegrini retired (Guess he didn't want to play in the Europa League, as they've been pretty dominate in my games, but 2016/2017 season was an off year for them and they finished 6th) and with it's Massive Funds (Ironically more than Bayern in my game) and the chance to play in the Premier League decided to take the plunge for that instead and they gave me a 4 year contract
...
Thus, looking over their roster they are a prime team to play a 4-2-3-1 so these tactics looks intriguing to use. However, the question I have is since the Tactic Mentality is Counter and Control would that conflict with the Board wanting me to play Attacking Soccer?
The other 2 philosophies the board wants is sign youth players to first team and also sign high profile players, and that's something I did in Bayern, so that shouldn't be a problem here, but the mentality part is what I'm a little concerned with hence curious as I really want to try these tactics if possible, but just not quite sure how important the board philosophies are as I'm still pretty new to FM2014.
