3 versions here: Counter and Control for the 4-3-2-1 and a 4-2-3-1 as an universal alternate. The Counter version is the default one, you only need the Control version, if you are struggling on a match or you opponent is counter attacking heavily.
As you all realised, in this year's FM, it is not possible to win every match, even with a top team, you will lose at a certain point. The quality of a tactic depends on how many matches you are able to win from the possible ones. This tactic will give you enough points in your given league to win trophies.
Counter
Control
Corners
Only the inside forwards should take the corners.
Training
Put the counter tactic to 2 slots and control to the other at the start of pre season and set match tactics as match training. The general training should be fitness for 2-3 weeks and team cohesion until the start of the season. During the season for general training use Balanced and Def.Positioning as match training. The slider should be 2 ticks from the left.
Team talks
I don't like to complicate things in this area, but I always do it by myself. Actually let the overall team talk done by your assistant, but after you do the positional team talk:
Before the match
- Home always assertively: I have faith...
- Away calmly or assertively: I have faith...
Half time
- If leading by 1 or 2 goals: assertivevely/calmly don't get complacent; if more than 2 you should praise them
- If it's a draw or losing: assertively/calmly show me something else
Full time
- If won than praise them
- If drew or lost then assertively chew them out
During the match
- If you do not have the lead after the 1st half, tell them assertively/calmly to demand more or push forward
- If you have the lead than for the last 20 minutes tell them to concentrate
Praising players
When your player have an average match rating above 7.60 for the last 5 games, you can interact with them and say they recent from is good. Only avoid to praise more then 4 players at the same time (obviously if you are on a winning streak and more then 4 players are red hot, then only praise the best 4) and do not praise the same player in the same month again. At least this is how I am doing things.
The matches were played, no instant results. Media prediction 15th.
