[daniozzy]

Ok, I've postponed this post for a long time, because I really thought I could figure it out, but here it goes.
The tactic I use is one I've created myself, and it worked for a while, but now is ******* me off. My team has really good players, but the strikers can't score! I can't get Neymar (or any other striker) to score like a boss, I don't know what's happening. We won the Serie A and lost both the Coppa Italia and Europa League in the finals. Help me out here:
Juventus 2011-2012

(I would really like to make him more important to the team, being into every play)

Thanks in advance guys!

What strategy are you using ? Are you using the TC and make strategy changes to suit the coming match or are you plug & playing ?

The reason I ask is becasue I would probably use different roles depending on what strategy I use. If playing a quick and direct counter game, using Counter and get ball forward, then using really attakcing winbacks might not of any need as they rarely have time to link up with the attacks anyway. If playing a really slow and probing attakcing possession based approach, then a AMC-playmaker would have a hard time finding space against teams that have now been able to get behind the ball and flood the space in midfield etc etc.'

Alright, I'm managing Arsenal early in the 2011/12 season. At the moment, I'm using a 4-2-4 (flat back four, 2 central mids, one attack, one defend; two wide AM, support winger on left, attack inside forward on right; 2 strikers), which is working pretty well for me (I won the league first season - but that was largely down to luck, Utd & Chelsea kept dropping points), but I want to improve my current tactic and am struggling.
-I haven't changed a whole lot in the way of team instructions, but my philosophy is fluid, and my passing direct (I don't know if short would be better)
-I've changed player roles a bit, but not a whole lot.

I know many people go with a 4-2-3-1 with Arsenal, which I'd be all-for, but I invested a lot in strikers because I love having quality strikers, and It'd be a shame to only play one at a time. My issue with my current tactic is that I'm forced to play Fabregas in central mid where he isn't as good as in AMC, and I can't utilise Wilshere and Song in the same team.
My squad:

GK
Fabianski
Szesz(you know who I mean)

CB
Vermaelin
Djourou
Koscielny
Raphael Toloi

FB
Sagna
Clichy (may be selling)
Eboue
Gibbs

CM/DM
Fabregas
Wilshere
Song
Hamsik
Frimpong
Denilson (looking to offload)

AM
Nasri
Hazard
Ashavin
Walcott
Rosicky (looking to sell)
Lansbury

Forwards
van Persie
Chamakh
Babacar
Lukaku
Wellington Silva
Vela (looking to sell)

I'm almost certainly forgetting some players, but you get the gist of it. Any suggestions welcome.

Part of me wants to play a 3-man defense (either with a sweeper or with a flat-3 central defense), and slotting Fabregas into AMC and Wilshere+Song back into DM, but that borders on stupid as far as I'm concerned.

I was thinking that because all my forwards apart from van Persie (who get injured A LOT) and Chamakh are inexperienced, playing a 4-2-3-1 might be best, but it seems such a waste!

Suggestions welcome!

Do you want help in tweaking the tactic you used, want a brand new uploaded tactic, suggestions on roles within your old tactic etc etc ?

Cheers

I'd like a brand new uploaded tactic if that's possible

 

[SS19]

Need help with my midfield. Using 4-6-0 formation, but I can't get the midfield to work correctly. Also I want a symmetric midfield (not only in shape, also intructions), DM-CM-CM, DM-DM-CM or CM-CM-CM, aiming to keep possession as much as possible, sometimes creating chances. Any ideas, or should I just use destroyer-passer-creator axis?

i used this total football tactic in the screenshot for the past 3 seasons.
judge by the genie scout my best players are pjanic,canales,marilungo and willian.
last year in the CL i got to the semi final and lost to MU just on away goal and Eventually they won the cup. would love help with a tactic to go all the way this year.
thank you.

 

[TorontoFC]

I am a terrible manager.

Last year my Spurs finished 10th in the Prem playing with a line-up of Hazard, Sanogo, Bale, Van der Vaart, Lennon, Modric, Huddlestone and a young French player named "Aarab" who I can't find online up front Digne, Dawson, Douglas, Walker and Yanga-Mbiwa at the back, Gomes in goal.

Abysmal.

That team should have won the league, but alas, I can't manage.

I purchased Hulk in the offseason.

Yesterday I implemented the most-downloaded Tactic on here, the Fairyland one. I have seen mixed results. My question then is... how to win???

My instinct is to line up:

----------Sanogo(A-Hulk(A---------------

--------Hazard(A------------------------

Bale(A---------------VDV(S----------Lennon(A

Digne(D---Douglas(D--Yanga-Mbiwa(D---Walker(D

A=Attacking
S=Support
D=Defending

It just hurts seeing Aarab (rated 4.5 potential), Modric and Huddlestone on the bench.

Thoughts? Advice? Insults?

All are welcome.

 

[rturtle]

Considering you have strength in midfield, I'd be tempted to put Bale at left back, so you can get Huddlestone or Modric in there. I would probably play a one-striker formation with Spurs, but since you've invested a lot in Hulk and Sanogo you may not want to.Consider this formation:

-------Sanogo
Hazard---------Modric
Bale----Huddlestone-VDV--Lennon
(Back four)

Alternatively, if you want to keep the two strikers and an AMC:

---Sanogo---Hulk
-------Hazard
---VDV--Huddlestone--Modric (this line contains three central midfielders - no wide players)
Bale--Douglas--Yanga-Mbiwa--Walker

With that formation, you'd use Huddlestone as a defensive player, and you'd get your width from your full backs. I'm not familiar with Walker's ability, but if he's got good wing back stats set him to attack. Certainly have Bale as attack. If Huddlestone can play in DMC, then play him there. If not, a DMC could be a good signing.

 

[ChristianEriksen]

Sorry for my English, I'm from Holland. First of all, I think this is a really good Forum.

My question ; I've been playin' a couple of months (in-game) with Athletic Club de Bilbao. As you know, it's only possible to buy Basq nationality players, which I didn't. I have the standard Athletic Bilbao team but it seems like nothing's gonna work a the tactic side of the game.

Makin' tactics isn't my best side of the game and I'm really struggling with other tactics. Maybe someone can help me with a good tactic he allready tested with that sort of teams or Athletic Bilbao self.

Really lookin' forward to an answer, much Thanks!

as you can see I am in my 7th or 8th Season I got MK Dons to the Premiership and my team is quite good, A lot of good young players in there. I am still yet to win 1 trophy with them, I got all th way from their original league winning play offs and not winning any tornaments, Any ideas on how I could improve their team or what tactics I should change or formation Changes, I am not to sure about Macheda as he seems a little hit and miss, some games he will score and then he will go a long time without scoring, The same with my other 2 strikers really but not as bad.

The team started with 0 money at all, I have not paid much for any player I have as all of my players have been young stars which I know from other save files. So basically I have just built all the money i got up over the last few years paying a million or so for each player.

Current position = 3rd
Best finish in Prem = 3rd
Best finish over other leagues = 2nd
Last 3 Seasons = 6th - 8th


Thanks for the help if you can help obviously.

I know I need some more pictures, Please tell me what other pictures you want me to post and I will post them.

Since the way you have approached the game seems to have been working, I see no reason to make drastic changes to it. Better then to make small changes to suit the team and players you have today. Whats your strategy, have you change the tempo, width etc, or are you just using the TC settings ?

Am i correct in think that you have a few young newgens in your team?. Are they average, good, wonderkids or even already developed class players. When looking at their mental stats, would you say that your team has enough determined players with high work rate and team work etc ?'

Hi guys. I need help with my formation: Here you are the information:

Squad: Lazio
Season: 2010-2011
Players:

Since you have alot of central mids, I would probably go for a formation using lost of them, using the fact that you have a pretty strong players. Perhaps a HIgh and Narrow 4231, using lots of width within the narrow approach.
