I am, too ;)

I thought I'd go very far with my New Zealand story, unfortunately that save became too frustrating due to bugs and league/club limitations...

I started a SM save, only played one full season and now in serie B... I don't think I'll do a story as I know I probably won't have enough time to play the 10-12 seasons needed to make the save entertaining! Though I have a playmaker/striker partnership made of two teenagers on loan from parent club Cesena that I absolutely love, both joined in first season and extended their loan spells for another year. Still the stars of my team, would be great to buy them and keep them in SM for all their career... as long as the sammarinese players suck!

The striker is really on fire in this formation

Shame about your New Zealand save as I was really enjoying that one. Hopefully you can get a club and country story going for FM16 :D
 
VerZa, can you upload some filters? I am having some trouble finding players for mid/small size teams!

What kind of teams, are you talking about? :) Don't know when I'll have time to go in-game, so maybe I can mention a few players, if I know what kind of team, you're talking about :)

Tbh. The players don't matter that much. Just use common sense. Look for players that are great in their individual roles in the tactic. :) I do advise having CB's with 12+ acc. and pace stats. LB and RB 14-15+. CM's should be allround. Able to defend but also good when going forward. It would also be a good idea if the inside forward has a great long shot. I also like having an allround striker. Technical, strong, good heading. Cauley Woodrow is a good example!

update of my chelsea season

Too easy man ;) Haha. Nice one.

enjoying this tactic in serie B with San Marino, the striker really shines in this formation, getting lots of goals and assists. I'm surprised that the CM(au) also scores quite a lot despite using a DM type of player in that role!

curious to see the full potential of this when I get better players

Yeah the CM's actually score a lot.. In my Fulham save, Lasse Vigen scored quite a lot of goals. He was a beast in my first season and second season in the PL.

Too easy with your tactic mr verza, cause i tried many tactics this year and it wasnt that easy. My team seems to have developed an excellent understanding right now and either i get a cup or not, i dont mind cause i enjoy the game now.
Especially the right side with cuadrado and azplizueta is a joy to see ingame. They change the ball each other and they assist d. costa or drogba. On the left side hazard get the ball in the box when we have problem to score. And if none of the above work, then terry, zouma or ivanovic are there to score from a corner.

I'm with Sassuolo - thought Berardi and Samsone were worth the try.
Having troubles finding the defenders, though...

Check the danish league. Sviatchenko and Amartey. Cheap, but great.
Balanta can usually be bought for £10m-12m.

Andrija Zivkovic is a great and cheap inside-forward. I usually buy him for £5m.

V1 was a lot better for me then V2. Tested both wih Chelsea. With V1 had 10 perfect season, now with V2 i have problems with creating chances.

Thanks for the feedback! :) I might test v1 again with my Fulham side, and see what happens.
I can't remember the difference between the two tactics, so I've to check that too :)
 
Why did you remove the OI's from V2?

I find it better without OI's :)

V1 download link maybe?

Then u could change few things on v1 maybe? I can tell u my opinion about weaknesses ( possible changes ) if u want. Deffence need some improvements and stability that's for sure. Also if ST could score more that would be nice.

All other positions dont need tweak at all. FB doing perfect job in attack, MC too. IF and right winger are monsters. In Chelsea had Hazard as IF and Willian on right side. Hazard score for fun, and Willian had 30+ assists per season. Even with 32 years he was my first choise ( and i have all but him world class players in first team )
I'll look into it when I've got time. :) I find the problems you're talking about very strong in v2. ST score alot, and if you have fast defenders, I find defense very strong.

Currently using this with AC Milan.

The tactic is simply brilliant at home (won every game, and I'm in January) and the team plays some beautiful football out there. Shame it sucks so bad away, I even lost with rubbish teams like Frosinone :(
 
Well i had 8 first team player injured in 20 days. All of them 2+ months. Only available ST was Diego Costa but he rarely score. Maybe problem was lack of players, since i had to rotate with reserve team.

Sounds like you found your problem! :p
 
Oh, I found it improved with OI's, but I'll trust you on it.
 
Never really post on here but have to say this tactic is freakishly good, almost so it's actually making the game too easy.

I am playing as Borussia Dortmund however but with no new signings in the team i've already had some stand out results.

Beat Bayern 2-0 and 4-0
Beat Barcelona 4-2
Wolfsburg 4-0

And all this in the first quarter of the season with the tactical fluidity not yet full.

What's the reasoning behind setting your fullbacks and winger to cross aim near post?
