I just put the 1COMBO link there for anyone who still interested in the old tactic, or anyone that wants to try it (my former testers knew how strong attacking it is).

Combo now concludes 2 tactics: (1COMBO had been removed! 1COMBO only works for 13.1.3 patch and older patch)
2. INFO
a. MANUAL GUIDE: (new)
How to choose between 2COMBO and 3COMBO for a match:
1. Home match or Away match, Stronger, similar or weaker team
2. Opponent team report, Tactic face, find the different between 4-2-3-1 and 4-4-1-1 or 4-4-2 (2COMBO works similarly to the traditional 4-4-2)
3. Past meeting: What tactic you have used in the past? What was the result?
2COMBO:
View attachment 303837View attachment 303838
View attachment 304229 (*Barca-Arsenal ss credit to tiebreak)
- 2COMBO is useful on Away matches, or games against stronger teams where you want to build the game from the back and launch Counter
- Always start with Shout: Work ball into box. Also, please check my OI guide.
- 2COMBO/Defensive if play against very strong team
- If the goal keeper's distribution hardly reaches your attacker for a long time; change distribution to "Long kick", use shout: get ball forward.
- After about 25-30 minutes of the match, if it does not work, please consider these tips below:
+ Push higher up if waste chances a lot by Long shot. If still not work, increase Strategy gradually: Standard/Control... until your team creates chances but still solid on the back
+ Look for overlap if wingers can reach the byline but cannot cross through the opponent's FBs
+ If leading just 1 goal, 75', hold on result by removing Work ball into box, use 2COMBO/Contain + play even safer

My quote:
"This is a strange tactic, I must tell you that. I often see you guys looking for a tactic which can dominant and give you good number of chances and possession percentage. No offense, I understand that nobody want to play the game with anxiety moment. I'm quite sure 3COMBO can give you that. However, in soccer, you cannot always do that. Let see how Manchester United had played against Spurs last week, they only conceded at the very last moment. I mean if you want to run a good season long, you must find for your team a balance style. 2COMBO is the best couple with 3COMBO, it will have you to survive and even conquer the struggled match.
You may see in the following below matches, Away games or Home games against very strong teams, Leeds Utd rarely have a good possession. Our chances are also fewer, but the CCC is better.
View attachment 304168View attachment 304170View attachment 304172View attachment 304174View attachment 304176View attachment 304178View attachment 304181
You will never see 2COMBO to dominate the match for you. The key is to keen, wait for your opponent attack you first, and then you fight back with your wingers and poacher who can individually solve the issue. The opponent's dominance is what you are looking for. They push up their men, and they leave the space behind, and now is your work. Their chances are large in number, but most of them offtarget, or safely easy in your goal keeper's hands
So there are two goals in a match using 2COMBO:
- Solid defense on the back, prevent opponent from scoring
- After doing good with first step, you must be keen waiting for your chance"
3COMBO:
View attachment 303835View attachment 303839
View attachment 304230(*Everton-Anderlecht ss credit to birdman2002)
- 3COMBO is useful on Home matches, or games against weaker teams where you want to dominant and create a lot of chances
- Always start with Shout: Work ball into box. Also, please check my OI guide
- After about 25-30 minutes of the match, if it does not work, please consider these tips below:
+ Increase Poacher's Mentality by 2 knots
+ Increase Strategy to Attack if you feel safe and want to dominate more
+ Increase Run from deep of two Wingers
+ Look for Overlap if Wingers are marked and cannot cross
+ If passing does not work, try this: Drop deeper + stand on feet + play narrower + pass into space + get ball forward + stand off opponents.
+ Reduce player's tackle if they are booked. Tell them to avoid another book during half time team talk
+ If lead 1-0, 75 minute, switch to 2COMBO, reset OI, Contain+play even safer
For more details, refer to this post: http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/foot...lona-6-2-aggr-cl-finalist-34.html#post1682096
b. SHOUT(some useful shout with COMBO)
- Work ball into box + Push higher up: reduce your Long shot
- Look for overlap: support the wingers when they are isolated
- Get ball foward + Pass into space: stop the defenders from mistake passin
c. Player types for COMBO tactics (Check this carefully before using COMBO tactics, especially AML/ML and AMR/MR positions): (new)
GK: Best GK you can have there.
LB, RB: Best LB, RB you have there. Without ppm "Get forward whenever possible"
CBs: Best DCs you can have there, with height is al least 1m83, Jumping, Concentration, Marking, Tackling, Strength. The other DC's attributes (Composure, Positioning and Heading should be improved through training after you get one)
MCL: Best BWM you can get. Even a typical DC player can be merge into this position and work like a charm (Phil Jones, Agger I have tested so far)
MCR: Best DLP you can get. Goretzka, Hiljemark, Andrea Poli, Carrick... (Marking and Tackling should be improved through training after you get one)
Wingers (Very important!): Same strong foot with the flank you play him (Right foot AMR/MR and Left foot AML/ML). Pace, Accelation > 13 (should be improved through training if <16), Dribbling >12, Crossing>13. Training: Winger. Better without ppm Cut inside!
AMC: Best advanced play-maker you can get, Passing, Technique, Anticipation, Creativity, Decision, Off the ball. Finish>12, Dribbling>11. Acceleration, Pace are better to >12
STR: Best poacher you get there. Acceleration >13, Pace >13, Dribbling, Finish, First touch, off the ball, Balance. It will even better if this guy is tall and is good at Heading and Jumping.
d. Opposition instruction: (new)
You should try this since I have tested it consistently with COMBO tactics for like almost 2 seasons (with Leeds Utd). Before coming to Leeds, I knew nothing about Shout and OI, so It had taken time for me to confidently post this. Try and make feedback!
Step 1: Ask your assistant for the outline. Several dots will appear beside the opponent players like this. These assistant's instruction should be kept steadily
Step 2. For DR/WBR and DL/WBL: keep the assistant instruction. Add to the position and player instruction (both position and player): Mark Always, Tackle hard, Show on weaker foot.
Step 3: For AML/ML and AMR/MR: Keep assistant instruction but add this to both player instruction and position instruction: Mark always, Tackle hard, show on weaker foot
Step 4: For STRCs (2 striker formation) and STR-AMC (1 AMC + 1 STR formation): Keep assistant opinion, add this to both player instruction and position instruction: Mark always
Step 5: Other players. For other players who your assistant think you should set instruction, you should consider a bit. For good Long shot player (Like Steven Gerrard), player instruction (Only player not position) Close down always. You must carefully use this, since setting instruction for too many opponent players will break your own formation
Step 6: In game, sometimes you will see some opposing player plays remarkably but not in your instruction list. He repeatably dribble the ball forward your goal, and shots it on his own. For these guys: Player instruction: mark always, close-down always, tackle hard, show on weaker foot.
Step 7: With these 6 steps above, you almost shut all the opponent key players. Then their coach will make changes to get his players out of your instruction (DL, DR change to WBR, WBL, AMC to STR, AML to MCL...) My suggestion is that you keep the opponent formation gadget to keep noticing when they change the formation (like the pic below)
In this photo, Yarmolenko is sub in and is not marked, so I added him in

3a. Screenshots from my own seasons: go here: Steam Community :: dzunglv :: Screenshots
3b. Screens collected from my brilliant testers (Cheers mates!)
I have removed them when trying updating my OP by mistakes. I will restore them soon.. Sorry guys
4. Download: (Version updated on 22nd Jan,2013) Now only 2COMBO and 3COMBO. 1COMBO is too fixed and cannot flexiblely change during matches, so I decide to remove it. Please use the newest tactics below (mediafire files, 2 seperated tactics). Remember that, on 13.2.2 patch, always use my tactic with at least the Shout: Work ball into box.
Recently I usually cannot maximize the scoring result with 3COMBO. The press keeps telling me that Premier League opponents now know much about how we plays, and they have plan to defend against me. Using 3COMBO we only score 1-2 goals a match. So I decide to deploy back the former 1COMBO for a while (I still have there one free slot for another tactic, so why not) and amazingly we destroyed Everton 4-0 right in the first half.
So I decide to restore download link for 1COMBO on OP. However, please notice that COMBO tactics now officially just include 2COMBO and 3COMBO. I just put the 1COMBO link there for anyone who still interested in the old tactic, or anyone that wants to try it (my former testers knew how strong attacking it is). You can use it if you like and you may ask me about it if anything you do not understand, but I not recommend to use it on a regular basis. The tactic is not consistent on this 13.2.2 patch.
In case you want to try it, please only use at home, against any team you want to destroy, no OI and no Shout please.
