***THE BETTER HALFS TACTIC UPLOAD & DISCUSSION

I'm yet to play the full version. 4 season into FMC. Is there any difference between tactic success in full and FMC modes?

Well, for starters, this tactic is made in Classic mode, hence cant be used in FMC . Apart from that, it should in theory be no difference
 
Currently testing with Atletico Madrid and out of all the tactics I've tried on the beta so far it surprisingly has been the best defensively and hopefully second season I can score more when I invest in out and out wingers rather than Adrian and Turan who are not natural wingers. Reason I chose Atletico to try it was because of the good natural wingbacks who are standout players so far.
 
I am using it with PSG , and besides the fact that i should use another format to fit in my best players , this tactic is the only one that works. It is not doing wonders for me , but is working way better then antyhing else i have tried so far.
 
@up very true, my wolves are doing more then decent, not like WTFOMGLOL HOW ? but i rly like that preformance :)
 
What is the best tactic to use?
Im playing Wolves, and wondering what would be the best for me?
Or the most stable tactic you have released?
 
I can't buy a win, tried various of my own tactics and almost every tactic on this forum since release. Go 1-0 up and lose almost every game even with teams such as Utd, Spurs etc etc. Can not defend crosses no matter what roles/settings. Ridiculous. Hoping for big match engine change before official release or game is ruined for me.

I've had great results with this tactic I've been playing around with. Some small changes has been made since the last post I made, but this currently got me on a 24 game unbeaten run with Man Utd, conceding 4 goals in the last 20 games.

The most important thing you do is to set your opp.instructions to "always close down" and "shove to weaker foot" on both the wingers and the fullbacks.

Give it a go and see how that works out for you. Maybe I've just been very lucky in my games.
 
This formation works incredible well with walker and naughton at spurs as ful backs :) but unfortunatly im having problems with the CM's i tried scot parker as MCR as the passer and the more defensive of the 2 and dembele or siguardson as MCL but i cannot get the MCL and the MCR to play well, its allways the MCL player than underperforms :/

Its because its à beta version Of the game. Central mids just make too few key passes or t-balls. As they also make few interceptio s, their match rating is poor. I would not care too much about it though.
 
Did quick try with this and while not creating too many CCC's it still works better overall than any tactic I've come up as of yet. MCR seems to score a lot of goals for me. Been using Arteta there for Arsenal and Montolivo for Milan.
 
Like written a few times before, this set won't function as intended until the game is released, or even after a few patches. It does produce result in this beta though, but not in the way it's intended:)

If speaking about FM13, then I won't be making any tweaks until the game is out. If speaking about FM12, then all the underdog/middle team plug&play tactics should be good

It's a Beta, not a finished product. I am certain things will get much better although it might take a few patches to iron out any knock-on effects these changes might have.
 
cant argue with the results and MCR seems to defintly need to be the more attacking of the MCs and the MCL the more defensive at least thats how its working for me at spurs even with rubbish MC ratings
 
Where would you use Neymar in these tactics?

He is doing **** for me as Striker
 
Try AML OR AMR for neymar, also picked up dzagoev on a free in jan and he plays incredibly well in this formation as the MCR
i would recommend picking him if your using this formation.

As witten above, play him as one of the wingers. When playing with topteams, mostly uisng the Attack version, the FC needs to be more of a complete FC that comes deep. Players like Rooney, RVP, Tevez and Aguero are better suited than Poachers that goes straight for goal

If on the the other hand playing Counter away against a tough opponent that pushes up their defence, Neymar would be leathal as the FC :D

Currently, I have made tactical sets using 4 versions ( Overloading Attack - Attacking possession - Counter - Cautious Possession) using the following formations.

Regardless of formation, they use the same approach so these tactics are for those that whilst not like ( or are unable to) constructing tactics within the TC, using shouts etc, still does not want to use exploiting plug & play tactics but instead wants to feel more involved as a matchcoach.

  • Flat 442
  • Deep 442 ( DMCs)
  • 4411
  • Wide 4231
  • Narrow 4231
  • Deep and Wide 4231
  • 451
  • Wide 271 with Wingbacks
  • Wide 41311
  • Narrow Diamond
  • Wide Diamond
  • 352 with Wingbacks and a Sweeper
  • 352 Diamond with MR/L, DMC, DMC, AMC
  • Narrow 271 with Wingbacks
  • Asymmetric 4411
All the tactics are made in the Classic Mode ( not with the Tactic Creator) so they an only be used in the Normal Full game, not in FMclassic. If anyone is interested in testing them for me after the game is released in November, please send me a pm, telling me what formation you want to use and with what team you intend to test it with


Cheers
