Hello everyone,
My name is DoubleR and you might know me from my recent tactic testing thread: http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/shar...ma-vs-ado-den-haag-[stress-test-tactics].html
I had great fun testing these tactics although what I did notice was that almost all tactics on there seemed to be consistent in that one match.. but when I played further or even replayed the match.. new inconsitencies showed. For example at the top was the 4-2-4 tactic by Chrissy Dude who won 3 times. When I actually wanted to play the match for real (and to actually continue the save)... I could not get it to win.. even when I played it 3 or 4 times in a row.
Challenge
Anyway thats why I stopped testing tactics because, some say it might just be the patch, it is impossible to get any sort of final results. This is also the reason why I am back with this thread which is not so much a tactic testing league but more to see if there is any tactic out there that can win me this match. In other words it is for my personal enjoyment so that I can finally find a tactic that I can continue my save with and that is the tactic that can beat this team. Therefore this thread is more of a tactic challenge (like a challenge in FM), where you have one match (or two) to show your strength.
Scoring
Two matches? But I thought you said one chance? Well the system is going to work like this: when you lose the game you are out, no second chance, that is it. However, if you draw but the match stats were equal or even in favorite for my team I will also replay the match. When you win the game I will replay the match with the same tactic to see if it was just luck or if you are really onto something here. So in short: lose 1 match, draw, 1 match, draw + good match stats, 2 matches, win, 2 matches.
Match Information
About the match: Using nxt5, nxt6 and nxt7 on the previous patch (15.1.4), I won the league with ADO Den Haag (Dutch eredivisie) in my first year with almost no transfers (at least not for money) and where my media prediction was 11th. The next year started of amazing with 6 wins in 6 games (scoring 19 goals, 6 against). However, right before my first champions league game (first ever champions league game for ADO Den Haag), we got the new patch and that is where the problems started. It was an away game against AS Roma, which are obviously much stronger, in the end I did find a tactic to beat them (http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/shar...-play-epl-palace-1st-season-no-transfers.html)
Current situation
Now im up in a match AWAY against Chelsea. So far I have tried I think all tactics that are out here at the moment. But lost almost all of them (getting a draw in only 1 or 2 cases). But I feel that there should be one tactic out there that are able to beat them. That is why this match will be used to try to find that one tactic. This also means that this challenge will finish when I find that tactic!
Feel free to suggest tactics for me to test (or your own tactics), but make sure you give a clear link for them (either to download or the forum thread)!

As I have said: this is not going to be a thread to rank or score tactics. It is primarily used to find a tactic for me so I can finally continue my save but also to give you guys enjoyment to see if there is indeed a tactic that can beat chelsea twice (because that is the result I am looking for).
