Dortmund maybe? Madrid, maybe Valencia could work. :)

Would be great to see an effective xmas tree formation on FM, (shame you couldn't get it ready before the 25th!) :)

I dont think those teams would benfot from it at all, not using wingers or just one forward. Can anyone think of another team that has lots of MCs and AMCs and that is not a top notch team.

Norwich regularly use a diamond in real life so I guess they have lots of MC's and AMC's.
 
Maybe I'm just extremely unlucky but for me (playing as Arsenal) this tactic (INTO OBLIVION - asymmetric) has been a disaster.

The tactic seems to rely on the other team squandering chances/possession but if you come up against a good team then you get completely destroyed. There's also the odd game when every chance the opposition have goes in, i.e BRENTFORD beat me 5-4 in the CC, Brentford...
Every now and then I get a 4-0 or 5-0 where I have soaked up pressure and hit them on the break but I'm usually drawing 2-2 or losing badly. Currently 8th in the league but I haven't even played the likes of City, Chelsea or United. Away from home, it's horrible to watch because the home team will have 60-70% possession and 20+ shots and you have to rely on taking the 1 or 2 chances that you get.

I'd say that the tactic isn't suited to a top end team/Arsenal but others have had success with Arsenal :/

Thats correct. Its purely using the TC and the shouts.

Currently finishing the Aston Villa 442
 
its working good, hade some trouble with City in CS, but we win 4-3. After that, 5-0 Arsenal and 3-0 QPR. :-D
 
that great. I am too having really good results with my Aston Villa ( or Fulham, Stoke, its almost the same approach) 442
 
ASTON VILLA TACTIC
a middle team
​





Disclaimer:This is in no way emulation.

Basically, I have been using these settings. As you see, there is nothing fancy here. I just let the players do their stuff. Here, we take advantage of the fact that Aston Villa have 4 (yes, even Heskey !!) really good forwards that have specific competence. We also play to the fact that we have central midfielders that do like to get forward ( played as BBM) and some that likes to stay behind and defend at hit t-balls from deep ( the CM on defend).

Being a middle team, ands there is very little difference between the teams considered 8-18th​, we will find our selves needing to play like one. Not too fancy, not to attacking or wide. Instead, we let our attackers and the BBM create space.


Also suited for

Stoke, Sunderland, Fulham. Obviously there are more teams but you getting the hang of it



The players

Left FC - Target man Support - Gabby, Heskey
Right FC - Advanced FC or Poacher - Bent, Delfouneso

Left MC - CM defend – Petrov, Bannan if played in the center, Jenas
Right MC – BBM - Delph, Ireland


1st strategy: Tight counter formation


We keep a tight formation when attacking on the counter, getting the ball forward, pushing up the team to keep it even tighter along with putting pressure on the opponent. The attackers on the other hand will provide width and lots of movement.

Against teams playing with a DMC-MC-MC, DO NOT use the " Play Narrower" shout

2nd Keeping the ball and using the space


Here, we use more of the width in midfield and defence and slow things down, trying to keep possession better. Maybe against teams that sit deeper with their team, playing tight as well or when wanting to hold on to the ball and dictate the game, seeing out a 2-0 lead, not really needing to score that 3-0 on the cost of risking the AI making a comeback
