do you use shout ?

No, not with this one as its a plug & playish tactic. I only use those tweaks mentioned in the opening post. If you want to use shouts, I would advice yhou to be carefull as many of the settings have been tweaked, meaning that some shouts wont work whilst some might have a negatve effect as they will only change half of what is intended making it ilogicall.

As you can see there are some good results.
Good defence, but the attack suffers a little.

The only problem for now it's the high number of injuries. I don't know what's happening, but every game in the 40 min I'm already out of 2 subs.

Will keep playing..

If you need some more info about a match or something else, just ask TBH :)

Great results. Cant say that I have seen a high amount of injuries in any of my testing so I will put this one down to either coincidence or the actull players. Naturallt, I will keep an eye out for this.


As you wrote, great defensive record. I would not say that yuo have scored a low amount though. Apart from the Southampton match, its more or less what you would expect. If you would had used lots of Width ( like in my example in the OP) against Sóton, you would probably have scored more but then again, you might have conceded to. In the end I would take 3 point anyday regarrdless of scoreline as long as I am in control of the game/flow :D
 
Yes, I love winning with 1-0 or 2-0 :D
But I've said that for the people that want 5-0 wins :)

Still playing, because I've saw a minor setback in the game with the Saints. And I don't know if my team was relaxed or it's another reason :D

Edit: I can't make Suarez score :))
He misses ~3-4 chances 1 vs 1 with the rival GK :))

Edit2: Can't believe it..
Had 3-1 with QPR, finished 3-3 :|:|:|:|

Agree that its a poor result although I dont agree that its a game" you should win". Just remember that you can loose any given sunday.

I am actually playing with the Gerodies as we speak and so far, the results have really good.

If a player starts to struggle putting his chances away, there is a bigger risk he will continue doing so as the match goes along as he will feel in agony, frustrated etc. He will simply loose his concentration and confidence. When I see this, I always sub these players in halftime or in the 60th minute. After the game, I talk to them and tell them that I do have faith in him.

Well first season i finished in 2nd place and won the EL and in second season ive just beat barca before i played aston villa (different tactic against barca) so i really cant figure out why im loosing
 
Its called luck my friend that is why the game is poor and i cant get into it. You will never know why your team has lost a game because when everything is the same e.g tactic, team talk, press conf, team selection are the same for you and the opposition the game and result is completely different so how do you know what works and what doesn't. You can manage both teams with everything the same and replay the game 10 times and you will never get the same result and if u do you can achieve it a completely different way. so how do i know my tactical tweak for that particular game was the difference or what i thought was a motivational masterclass before the game in press conf and team talk were the difference when i can do these things and the opposition do everything the same and the result is different. Dont take the game to seriously or beat yourself up on the tactics ect because you were unlucky that time you played the match

wel, then you should have had a better chance. Btw, how did the team get fluid with the tactic ?. Did you load it up in the beginning of the season and used it for the first time this game or did you use FMRT ?

Also take into account that after having played in Europe and beaten a good team, there is almost always, always a reaction in the next domestic match. It has been so since FM09.

Also, using plug & play tactics means that when things go wrong, you have no ability to turn things around and change the flow of the game so all resulst must be looked at over a whole season. If one would watch the game in full mode, It would become rather obvious why you lost that game though but ehen using this tactic, its does not matter if one knows why as one would not do anything to change things anyway.

I loaded it up at the start of the season and didnt use it till this match.
 
I can't believe it.
Just got HUMILIATED by Arsenal. A weak Arsenal, 12th place in BPL and absolutely HUMILIATED me.

4-1 for them, 70% posession for them, 15 shots for them..

WOW !

Good results but shame about the penalty decider.

I am currently putting this tactic to à stern test. I am playing as à low rep manager using Sunderland. My DCs make stupid misstakes due to being poor, morale is low and Nobody cares about what I say. So far so good though, started out beating Newcastle :) .
 
Rar files

Hi just joined forum for first time. Like the look of this tactic although how do I copy the .rar file into my FM directory so it is available to use a a tactic? The first tactics you posted were in separate .tct files - just need a bit of guidance

Thanks

You need to open the RAR file.

Inside there will be the tactic files (.tac, i believe), that should be placed in My documents/Sports Interactive/Fm2013/Tactics, i think.
 
Thanks for sharing :)

I'll try this in the lower leagues. Playing as Lincoln in league 2 currently with a talented but young squad. I will be making three versions: basic, control and cautious. Dont think the fullbacks have the quality for wingbacks so will be changing them.
