this game sucks really! its to hard to win away!!!

[vandamme84]

This game is very frustrating. No matter with wich team or tactic it sucks anyway.

I play with liverpool a 4-2-3-1 tactic in 2 variation, home and away.

I am on the 6the place after 20 games. The problem is that my forwards are being outnumbered by the oppositis defence line. what should I do? Its always the same problem with a lone striker in a support role.

please can someone help?

thx

or maybe your just a poor manager... consider it. and the trouble with liverpool, is their squad on the game is more of a uefa cup standard.

 

[Yorkex]

Play 4-4-2 by Zebedee or use JP Woody's tactic's( currently using an edited version of this)

dude. -.-

if you playing one up front? of course your front line is getting outnumbered? cant change it its just how you play god..

its like saying if you played 4-2-4 with two midfielders whats gonig to happen? you midfield is going to be outnumbered right?

i bet you just make an tactic and try play that all through season dont you? you gotta tweak everygame learn the opponents weaklinks then get your team playing to the weaklinks things like these make all the difference.. This in football manager the only way your going to have fun is getting stuck in

the game doesnt suck it just requires a manager with patience and hearing from you you havent got it.

Dont worry mate i am sure there are a lot of people having your problem me being one of them it doesnt matter which tactic i use whether it be my own or someone elses i always struggle and i have played the game for years my most recent game i was everton i won all my friendlies without conceding a goal then lost pretty much all of my league games home and away and on top of it i was averaging two injuries a game i switched the game off at half time at home to man utd losing 5 nil and having to play a goalkeeper as an outfield player that sucks!!! and that was a tactic i tried to devise using the tt&f documents 3 varients def stand and attack i was using defensive at the time and would have been happy with a draw but that is life and that is fm and i will soldier on until i find the right one to suit my team. So if anyone has got a solid tactic for everton or a mid to top table premiership team or tactic set let me know anyway good luck and i hope you find your holy grail lol!!!!

 

[rkeane16]

Mate, it your tactics for sure. Either your players haven't gel to it or you putting the wrong player in that position. One thing I found out is that with the 09 version(i didn't play the 08, last was the 07), you have to put some effort in your tactics and once you have a tactic set, keep playing to the set and you'll find your players getting better and better using it.

In my last game, it took my team about a season to be really cohesive using my tactics and even so, I can see that there are still room for improvements.

By the way, I too am using a tactic with one ST, but I don't have problems winning. Patience mate.

My 4-4-2 may not be appropriate for Liverpool's standard. Try Lee's Liverpool variants.

i am playing a 4-2-3-1 to m8, but it seems to pull off for me maybee you just need more stability in your team, like playin macherano and alonso as ya 2 man midfiled and gerrard behind the stikers and buy to new wingers as i beleve they aint the best for what you are hoping for. you just have to stick at it and check the team you are playing against and pick out were they are weak and play to your advantage. by the way im playing as everton ROBISOK how far are you and what team have you got

I am trying a tactic i downloaded from here http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=445 this bloke seems to be having great results with everton although he has got a great set of players i as usual am not having as good results although it could be down to my injury list. I have just played a game and had FIVE players injured what a joke and my squad is already decimated i am playing players out of position youth players and pretty much anyone i can get my hands on i might even have to start calling up the under 5's or the ladies lol!!! I am using tuggs training so i think i will have to lower the training levels though i have never had this trouble with this training regime before anyway i will give it another season you never know i have atached screen shots so have a look or a giggle as the case may be lOL!!!

 

[AndyCoates]

As stated by the others, its clearly a tactical issue. Theres no way you can go game to game, home or away with the same tactics, you wont get the results you desire. For starters, if your facing a tough away fixture, you will need to approach it in a less attacking mentality, possibly dropping AMR/L's to MR/L's...

If your frontmen are being outnumbered this will make your ST struggle unless he's getting some excellent supply from his midfield. I'm assuming your ST is your Target Man? If your Passing style is Direct and you have a decent, fast target man, you should be seeing the midfielf trying to play some balls behind the defense...

If this still doesn't solve the issue, look at putting another ST in for away games, possibly set to Rarely make forward runs, so he acts a middle man for your midfield and main striker.

 

[JP Woody]

If you cant win away from home with Liverpool you really need to review your tactics mate.

thx for your understanding.

I am not a poor manager, I ve read the TTF09 twice. But the problem how can I be succesful with not playing with the best teams, like liverpool, their media prediction is the 4the place in the pm league. But there is still people that can be successful with such of teams.

It must be said that Liverpool has only one good striker (torress) so I have to play with a lone striker.

 

[JP Woody]

Play with Torres & Babbel up front,then buy a striker as soon as you can.

 

[vandamme84]

hello woody,

how can I be successful with liverpool? can you give me some advices for the fm09 in general?

I really want to win the pm league with liverpook and without spending a lot of money.

I designed these tactics for Liverpool and was very successful without spending fortunes,look at pictures of my results and performances.These were designed for the 9.2 patch but im told they still work well for the 9.3.

[vandamme84]

thx. Can I use this tactic for home and away games?

Can you recommend me a good tactic with a lone striker?

 

[JP Woody]

Well i used it home and away.If you wanna play with a lone striker just put one of the strikers in the AM position put his thru balls on often and then put the remaining striker into the centre.Not sure how it will work though,i hate playing with a lone striker,particularly in the Premier league.

 

[robisok]

Well i must say i have lowered my training and seem to be getting over my injury problems and i have stuck with this everton tactic and to start with it was not working but again i was strugling with injuries and 4th from bottom then i won a game and i have not lost a game since played 10 won 10 and am now 6th and i am using the same tactic home and away and in europe beat herta berlin 4-0 away the only thing i would say is i am conceding a few more goals away than i would like but beggars cant be choosers and i feel this tactic could probably be tweaked for away. I have searched for a long time for a good tactic for everton and this is the most solid one i have found so far so BROUGHTON88 give it a go and VANDAMME84 try it and good luck mate dont get down you will find a way in the end and i am sure you are a very good manager chin up http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=445

why always with a lone striker?

have you figured that if you play 2 then its much better? try and commit and get players foward, Cant always play safe by playing a extra midfielder or defnder in exchange of a striker

 

[RavenWire]

I play a 4-2-3-1, and have done the double in my first season. You probably just have to tweak the individual instructions. For example, I have Torres as a target man, supply to feet, and run with the ball often. He has give many a defence the runaround like that, and chipped in with 30+ goals. I'll try post my tactic that I use on here later, try that out and see how you go. As has been said before, take a look at the opposition and try to mess around with it a little to counteract their biggest threats (e.g. if the other team has great wingers, i usually have my full backs forward runs set to rarely)
