Hi guys
i dont post very much but i do however visit the site quite often. Like many of you i love Football Manager and often try out people tactics if im not successful with my own.
anyway, lets get to the point.
Team - Manchester United
1st Season Pre Season
Out:-
Lingegaard
Young
Anderson
Evans PX
Rojo Jan15
In:-
Meret
Stones PX
Joe Gomez
Vallejo
Romero
Tielemans
Roberts
Odegaard Jan15
1st Season
In my first season i found great success using '38games-38win' by onemanshow25. Sometimes i would use 'Tinkermans attacking Diamond' and for slightly tougher games 'Lowerleagues 4-1-4-1', but 9/10 i would use 38games-38win. I won the league by 12 points to chelsea losing 1 game all season, at home to newcastle. I got knocked out the cups on both occasions to Reading which i absolutely ripped apart but found their keeper in superb form and my strikers taking liberties.
Pre Season Second Season
Rightly or wrongly i did the following in the transfer market. I dont like to have too many old players and once they hit 30 i sell them on while i can still get good money for them.
Out:-
Smalling PX
Valencia (£9mil)
Hernandez (£22mil)
Robin Van Persie (£16mil)
Mata (£29.5mil)
Keane (275k)
Lingard (£1.2mil)
Zaha - (£6mil)
Nani - (£7.75mil)
In:-
Chambers PX
Richards (Free)
Diaby (Free)
Depay (£27mil)
Barbosa (£19mil)
Bakkali (Free)
i didnt take up the option to buy Falcao although he was brilliant for me.
Now, to my point to the thread. I played 6 games for pre season and marginally won all of them. But once the season started i got these results :-
Chariety Shield - Chelsea Lost 1-0
Home - Swansea Lost 3-1
Away - Newcastle Lost 3-0
Home - Burnley Lost 2-1
I havent continued as i wanted to ask peoples opinions on why have these tactics all of a sudden fell off a cliff? I have read one or two threads about getting found out tactically wise. But in real life football even if teams know how to play against a certain tactic, as the game goes on the quality of an individual and the team find a way to grind a team down and win. or the oppositions legs go and you more often than not come out on top. May be a bad example, but take Ajen Robben, everybody knows he has no right foot, he plays IF on the right, always cuts inside to get on his left foot. But in real life you cant stop him, regardless. Tactically you know how Jose will set chelski up but they find ways to win, bit of magic from Hazard or that one pass from cesc to set costa up. Certain top clubs play a certain way and teams set up to counter their tactic, but the top club will often come through and win, they grind teams down, an individual will do something amazing and win the game. Does anybody like to shed some light on why tactics fail after a certain time with this game even though you have enjoyed success from the start. Im not sure how to upload screen shots etc but this is my team more of less:-
De Gea - GK DF
Rafael - Complete FB Att Richards/Gomez
Stones - Defender DF Chambers
Jones - Defender DF Blackett
Shaw - Complete FB Att Blind
Carrick - DM DF Blind
Romero - CM S Tielemans/Powell/Diaby
Di Maria - AP A Herrara/Odegaard/Pereira
Januzaj - F9 S Roberts
Rooney - F9 S Depay/Bakkali
Barbosa - P A Wilson/Henriquez
As you can tell i take pride in playing young players but also academy players if they have something about them.
Appreciate you thoughts please.
