hmm, maybe can u show me your squad in first season? (and maybe transfers ;)

I made no signings in the first season. To see the squad from the first season, just start a new save and look at their squad. 2012/13, I played a 352.

I am no so sure I like where this is going. Are you implying that I am cheating ?

What is your recomendation TBH classic or fmc version?
Click to expand...

I have only used the version made in Classic Tactic mode. A user then helped me and remade it using the Tactic Creator and like written in the opening post, they should be EXACTLY the same. Naturally, he could have missed one notch on any of the player sliders but that makes no difference so just use the version you like the most in terms of " layout"

I started a new save with Bilbao and I'll use this tactic as the main (and only) one. It's the first time that I'll play with other user tactic, in this FM. I found it interesting and with good feedback.
I think they have a good team to play with this tactic. My starting eleven is: Iraizoz; Iraola (defend), Aurtenetxe, Ekiza and Castillo; Iturraspe/Perez, Susaeta, Herrera, Muniain, Isma (young player from the B team) and Aduriz. I think there are some places in the team that are not occupied with the best players for that role but this is only the first season. Let's see what happens.
Sure you don't bother that I inform about my progress and my thoughts about this tactic...

Thanks and so far I see that this is a good tactic (already play 3 games).

Cheers,
João

Not at all. Please DO report back when you have played some more

Off topic question: Should this tactic be good to use after 3-4 seasons or will the opposition be able to reduce the effectiveness of it because they get used to the tactic etc.

Opponents don't learn and adapt to a tactic. What they do is adapt to you as a threat and here is the brilliance in this tactic. If facing team sitting deep and defending against you, it brings so many dimensions to he flow/play that we are able to break these teams down, just like we were able to hit them on the break when they attacked us( when they considered us a lesser threat, risk & reward etc)

Naturally, there are other reasons why one might struggle later in the game but here, it's not about the tacticbbu about getting in the quality players to break equal teams( that are playing cautious) down, this and the man management.

Do we have to untick Offside Trap if we have CB with low Pace ?

Not really. If you have à team where the defenders have poor skills in positioning and anticipation, I would be more worrried, an especially if they are not settled yet and have a " language barrier " These things will see you struggle with playing an OT.

thought id update everyone on how my weston super mare save is doing, first season. due to work hours i havent completed a full season yet but as you can see from screen shot ( IF it works) if dont it just shows we 3rd with only few points between everyone, we doing pretty impressive, few losses come when my GK and main ST went injured so got stuck with two players which personally i could have done better :)

Finished 2nd in my season with Weston Super Mare (WSM). Probably would have won the title if i had played the whole season with this tactic. STILL GOT PROMOTED (penalty shootout in final)!

My strikers go through phases of complete incompetence due to low morale. Towards the end of the season i had a slump. I was still dominating shots etc, but nobody could score. Anyway, i'm glad to be in the Blue Square Premier, that's all that matters. I also made the FA trophy final but lost on penalties.

This tactic is brilliant!
 
just curious- is this tactic a work around specifically for this patch or is it likely to continue working post patch when everything is hopefully fixed?
 
First off, congrats on a great tactic :). Playing Newcastle and i'm in the title race with 3 games to go. But one thing that puzzles me is the inability your defenders lack... as i'm writing i'm playing Chelsea away in the semi EURO 2nd leg (1-0 at home, Cech saved them the bigger loss), but when Oscar wins a header over Coloccini from a throw in, Coloccini didn't even jump for the ball., but that not all, Oscar has won every header he's been in how is that possible LOL the man has 9 in jumping and 8 in heading.
Have you experienced this aswell?
Well lost 2-0 (my god I really hate that team) Mata scored in the 122 min despite that there were only one stop in the 2nd half of extra... hard to lose in that manner
Just looked at stats for Oscar 7 headers 5 won 2 key, amaizing statistics for a guy with those arial abilities

they are pretty close. Mind you, I would use the DMC on support. If you want to see how the roles are changed from the ones in my tactic, just download the FMC/TC version. You will see that many sliders have been tweaked so I don't know if that will work for you

Also , use. " press more"

Thanks TBH, always very helpful!

very good tactic, this year only expected to be a transition year, sold a lot of players who were above 30 years and hired some very young players, and I must say very well mated to the tactic, the only player who does not perform with this tactic is Cisse, I do not understand, Ba or Ameobi do very well in that position, just cisse not performing in that position, I must say it is excellent defensively, Cheers!

What do you use as screams from the sidelines?
 
Morning TBH, I downloaded these last night (will have a go this evening) and noticed that in the FMC versions the duties of the DMC and another are slightly different, is this deliberate or do I just simply change them to match ?

Could this tactic work for a lesser team like my San Marino team in Serie B (season 2016/2017)?

The players I got aint that great compared to the other squads in the league. Its my first year in serie B and I just want to keep the place and hopefulle start climbing the table next year when my youngsters are a bit more experienced and has developed.
 
I am in second season with Bristol Rovers...started using you tactic at the begining of the seconad season ( about 5 games in) and i have to say that tactic is amazing. I am trashing teams off the pitch, playing really good in defence, brilliant tactic! The only problem is with defending set pieces...I do seem to concede a lot from deep free kicks...but no problem:)

Just started with this tactic with Sunderland, only signed del horno and borowski on free transfers and just beat man utd 2-1 at home and chelsea 3-1 away (Steven Fletcher Hatrick). Will keep updating progress but looks good so far.
