Moved on from Fenerbahce, after winning the league and cup with ease they still are suspended from international football the season after, plus the league reduced the amount of foreign players allowed to play to five, which took all the fun off for me. Got an offer of last placed Villarreal after 12 games of the 2nd season, finished the season at a secure 10th place. This is how the table looks for the current season:

Beat Real and Barca along the way, too :)

Villarreal only got a wage budget of 32mil euros, Real in comparison got 225mil and we get similiar results thus far, fantastic work TFF. This is the masterpiece of the work you put in this year for me.


Oh and here is how I ended up with Fenerbahce, I think it could have been 34-32-1-1 for us but we already were champions after 28 matches so I used the pick rotated squad feature.

For me definately the left, that's where I used Sow for Fenerbahce at least and he was great, scoring 38 goals in 45 matches. Might just be a fluke but Kuyt in comparison, who played on the right got 23 in 38. Though I think Sow is the better striker of them two so it might have been that.
 
Fuuuuck. Palyin with Spurds and just lost over two legs against St-Etienne 3-7. Absolutley terrible, dreadful. They had 4 shots on goal and scored 3 at WHL.
 
Im in March now and all of my defenders have really poor ratings, around 6.80, except Dawson who has one of the best ratings. Not promising at all

I'm planning to give it a go with Juventus.
Buffon
Barzagli-Chiellini-Bonucci
Lichtsteiner-Vidal-Asamoah
Marchisio
Pogba
Llorente-Tevez
 
I must say: i'm impressed with this tactic! 20 games in and i'm very consistent! Hope it will last untill the end of the season!
P.S: I'm using Jassar's set pieces for corners, zo a lot of goals come from corners! :)

Please can you point me to this corner routine? I've tried searching the forums and there appear to be a few.
 
I'm currently on a 48 games unbeaten run (43 wins, 5 draws) with my Man U squad and have only recorded 1 loss up until now!

Sitting on top of the table after 30 matches and going ahead by 19 points!
Also won the Capital One Cup, am in the Semi's of the FA Cup and the Quarters of the CL!
 
WOW! This tactic managed to win me EVERY prize in the first season with Man Utd!


-Community shield
-Capital One Cup
-FA Cup
-Premier League
-Champions League


I did make some changes in season training and i've mirrored the tactic, because i've got two left footed AMC's.


Don't expect a lot of goals with this tactic, but do expect to keep a lot of clean sheets! I dominated all but three matches all season long and only conceded 24 goals!!

I've used the Overload en Waste Time tactics, but not so much as i would expect. Most of the time the base tactic saw me through!


Thanks TFF for a really good tactic! Cheers!



P.S. And off course some screens! ;)

Thank you so much for bringing the manager concept into FM for me <3

Having to make decissions what tactic to use any given time aswell as selective need of players ... its amazing, i got no words. Superfun :D :D

I tried Van Gaal tactic for United last season, and won the league and finished 2nd in FA cup losing to chelsea.

Followed the guide (more or less) and beat the **** out of Chelsea in Charity shield after pre season (4-0) :)

Now i have won both my 2 first league games, and i cant wait for the next ones!

/dance!

Thanks!

CM: Lucas Romero, Pedro Obiang, Koke
AM: Januzaj, Florenzi, Stanciu, Rotariu
CF: Wilfried Bony, Huntelaar, Welbeck, Carlos Fierro, Luciano Vietto

It is a perfect tactic for Man Utd! (See my results a few posts back).
Who did you sign the 1st season?
 
GFRay, its my 2nd season, but i signed Peruzzi as WBR, Jonathan Silva as WBL (cover for rafael and shaw)
I got Balanta, Doria as CB's
I got Romero as DM/MC, Matic on loan as DM, and annan for covercover as DM.
Offencively i have Vietto, Barbosa, Zivcovic, Stanciu, Rotariu (u21 team).

Spendt most of my money buying youth players for the future and retrain them.

I cannot get Mata to do well as AMCR, should i mirror asn use him AMCL since he is left footed???

Herrera also declined and is 2 and a half starr only now, but can be becasue my squad is improved so much.

Remember these buys were in first season + 2nd season so not bought a kazillion first team players for the firstteam.

Im trying to not grab to many players without selling so i can keep the squad even and rotate to keep ppl happy.

I cannot get rid og Young however. hes worth 12mp, but even tho i transferlist him for 1mp noone want to buy him ><
