Before I start a save, do you have any team that you would like this to be tested with? (Any team is their nations top division.)

Perhaps West Bromwich ? (It really does not matter though)
 
TBH is back with a bang. Looks good but have you been cheating again LOL Joking I've only just load FM12 on my computer as i was on me holibobs but once i have try my tactic i will load up a second manager and give it a go.

Keep it up....... Look forward to the rest,
 
Everything was going good, end of September, unbeaten and in 3rd place, playing a Chelsea side struggling and in 16th place. I lose 7-0 with them having 30 shots to my 7. :(

Really hoping this result doesn't derail everything. Will keep you updated.

Apart from the Chelsea result, it looks really good. Sitting 3rd with West Brom is really good. Just make sure that you put the effort in the team meeting to encourage the players, getting some of that confidence back.

Looking forward to hearing more about how it went
 
Small update of the asymmetric 451 ( INTO OBLIVION). After having knocked out bitter rivals Bristol City along with Cardiff, both Championship teams and playing them both away, it was time for a stern test. Needless to say that I am pretty pleased with the result :D

My say!

Obviously, doing so well, I can't complain and I'm 100% certain, had Odemwingie not had an injury that kept him out for 3 months, I would be in Europe. (He never found his form when he came back. :()


If you want any other screenies, just ask.

Accidentally deleted the save. ._. So I can't provide any screenies, but I could possibly remember the thing you want/need.

Great feedback, thanks. I decided to go for à west brom season my self. After 18 matches I was 2nd but as you pointed out, the squad depth is NeXT to zero, I would have ended up 6 at best if having any injuries. So fr so good though.
 
im in my second season with west brom and am currently 4th,,which is good, i came 5th last season...the tatic is awsome. I feel that the rm scores loads but i cant get odemwengie to score...any suggestions?
 
Gonna try this with a lower league side such as Chesterfield. Will post screenshots at end of the season.
 
I've been using this tactic for one season now. I was promoted after three seasons to German second division and I was managing Saarbrücken at the time. I had 50k/week salary budget and no transfer at all. After the first eight games I was sitting at the fourth position. Then I beat Gladbach at their home and their manager got fired and they also offered new job for me. Rest of the season I was lost only two games and played one tie while managing this new team. The other match was in German Cup semifinals agains Dortmund and the other one after winning the Second division against some team fighting to avoid relegation.

Now I have played first few matches in the first division. 1-1 tie at home against Stuttgart and 1-5 win against Wolfsburg(second biggest German team in my save) and just won 4-2 against Hertha BSC. I didn't get any transfer budget for the first season and also my salaries were cut from 425k->350k so I lost couple of good players in the summer because I couldn't afford new contracts. Basicly I'm playing with the same team as in the lower division and still winning. Now I'm just afraid of the injuries, I have basically no depth for strikers, if the one is gone I have no one to replace him. Should be interesting season.

This tactic produce high paced football and I love to watch it. I've noticed that after my offensive corners I seem to be very vulnerable against counter attacks. Most likely it's because of my awfully slow defenders though. Counterattacks seems to be how I concede goals mostly. Thanks for the tactic, this must be the best tactic I've used in fm since I've played it(2010 was the first). Oh yeah and I've been lurking here for two years now but I just had to reply to this, I'm so impressed with the results. :D

Good season. If you are playing him as the FC. then I can understand it as he is not the type. As written in the opening post, the tactic is suing a false nine, a deep coming player and as he is trying to beat the offside trap, he is just not the type. I playd him in MR and form that position, he did really, really well

Been playing this in my first game with Arsenal. No OI's, pitch size max and assistant does team talks:

13 wins in 15 games - goals galore.

Tevez and RVP swapping from game to game at the min as they are both on fire.

Looks really good. Once the gets gelled, you should be able to pick up some results against the top teams to. After all, thats 9 (!!) new players in the starting lineup :D

From what I noticed the left winger is really important for success. Or maybe he did so well because he is my best player(Marco Reus). I don't think I've ever gotten into Champions League at the first season after promotion. Impressive tactic. Oh yeah, I HATE by board, they gave 10 mil to shareholders and after that gave me 450k wage budget and 4 mil transfer budget.

Thats some season and with your new newgen, perhaps its time to step up for the title next season. That is if you have the squad depth for it, playing in europe as well.
 
I have the tactic as one of my Prepared tactics in my Blackburn save 3rd season, i have 2 others and when this gets to 100%, ill start using it in the cup, or if my results dip.
 
Ok, I've been using this tactic for my Southampton team in the first season. Simply put, it is doing an amazing job. The SS will speak for themselves.

That's what I call an amazing job.

The second season in the first division done. I had a good start but after the winter brake I had very bad performance. I played last two games of the season with the tactic I used earlier in the third division. My defence really gave me headache this season. Fullbacks were awful the whole season. Their ratings were ~6.7 or something and they gave up way too many penalties too. Going to have to find better ones next season. On the positive side I got into ECC playoffs from really hard group(Arsenal, CSKA Moscow and Ac Milan). Here's some pictures.

My recruits for this season. Okoye I bought in the January after I got some more money to spend. The other three I got with five millions, so they were **** good bargains.
