I've struggled with getting a 4-2-3-1 to work properly, usually down to balance. I'm either set up too attacking and leave too many gaps for counter attacks or too defensive and I can't break down teams so I'm interested to try these systems.

I might even start a new save with them, possible Leeds United who knows. Either that or I'll try them on my Spurs save which is a relatively new save but I haven't played much of it.

Is the link on the front page the up to date one? The files have a date of 4th December when downloaded.

Cheer mate! Leeds Utd is a very interesting club, with Nottingham Forrest maybe the oldest soccer clubs on world (correct me if I'm wrong). You will get a very difficult start, no budget and many players seem to be not good enough. But Aidan White, Norris, Rodolph Austin, and Tom Lees may be the best players you can see in Championship, very promising squad. Interesting thing is that Leeds facilitate is really good, good pitch, good training center which reduces injuries and improve youngster's development a lot.

And one more thing, Leeds Utd reputation is high, equals to a Premier League team, so players will be more interested in your team!!

For the too many gaps instruction I really not bother much. You can see Sir Alex Ferguson use a tactic without DM everyweek since the day Roy Kean left Man Utd. Since then the press keeps saying Man Utd have no strength in the middle, just like your assistant keeps complaining on gaps thing.

My opinion is that we are not aiming for a perfect balance tactic, but aiming for a effective one, so ignore this suggestion if you still do good!

In Combo tactics, the midfield men will come back to cover the space right after participating in attacking, so I have never consider that gap as a problem.
 
Sorry, I didn't mean that the combo tactics were creating gaps or being too attacking. I meant the systems I've tried in the past were having those issues which probably boils down to my inability to make a tactic work.

Hopefully try your combo tactics over the weekend to see what type of production I get.

Yeah I fully understand your comment. Actually my Combo tactics usually get notification from assistant about creating gaps too hehe. But don't over-concern about it mate!

Clearly you didn't read very much, as he used it with Leeds and got them promoted, no easy feat tbh.

And this game isn't that hard...just gotta play it right, and not buy 4 new players every transfer window

hey scottafc, do you have problem with long shot too many? I had the same issue but after using the Shout: Work ball into box + Push higher up+ Look for overlap, the problem disappear. You may try this. Since I don't know much about your problems maybe tell me more?
 
Player types for COMBO

Hi guy!

Since the very first day I posted this topic, there is always someone who cannot get these tactics to work for them. At that moment I thought that is due to the reason that Manchester United is a big team, than these tactics do not work for weaker teams. After using Leeds for a while, I realize that the problem is much more simple than that. It is because the player's attributes are not appropriate. Follow the following instructions and you will make COMBO work for every teams on earth! Before January 2014 in-game, my Leeds Utd is at 7th position and struggle to keep it up. On January market I brought in 1 AML (Carcela) and 1 AMR (Torje) and they made it totally different. Now on Febuary, Leeds Utd is at 3rd place!!

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.

I also update this onto OP.
 
Hold on to result after 70'

You guys should try this trick! I have successfully hold on to the leading against Liverpool, Man Utd and many other teams. I have never conceded when using this trick. The opponents should get very crazy and they will jump, jump around your players, look very funny lol (6)

2COMBO, contain. Shout: Drop deeper, Play Narrower, Pass to feet, Play even safer
 
Opposition instruction for COMBO tactics (This will be updated on OP also)

Hi guys,

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 instruction (only position, not 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

2013-01-20_00007.jpg



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, 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
