What do I do when I download it? Where do I put the file?
 
Are you still using run from deep on both wingers? And any other tweaks?

Steve

I'm using v2.1 with run from deep on sometimes for the wingers currently. It is not as effective but I'm a weaker team currently so it works better for me.

put the tactic into your sports interactive folder in my documents into a folder named tactics.
 
i have been using this tactic in my 4th season with spurs and getting great results.but in the last 3 games i drew 1-1 at home to man utd, 0-0 away at burnley and lost 1-0 to marseille. my assistant keeps saying there is a big gap in between the midfield and defence that opponents can exploit.also they seen to be getting in behind the defence with through balls alot getting ccc's. this maybe because my two best cb are out injured (jones,hummels). but from opponents goal kicks they are able to take the ball down far to easy without my players challenging very hard. but overall great tactic just these last 3 games have been difficult. hope this helps

If U have been doing better than expected, players might be suffering from overconfidence?
 
this is clearly a fake, owen hargeaves played 23 games, thats not physcially possible for him

you are honestly telling me that there are not 23 games from the end of October when he comes back from injury in the game (mid November till full fitness) to the end of the season? As you can see by the number of games the Goalkeepers played in total I played 64 games that season...
 
Just played a whole season with this tactic using Arsenal. By far the best 4-2-3-1 I've ever used.

Don't have time to post screen shots but will post when I get back!

Thank you very much! :)
 
Won the league and champions league :D

Not as good as your stats Xenon but still pretty good for a tactic built for man united :)

I actually prefer your stats. Your striker is very very prolific, Van Persie nearly a goal a game! Jack Wilshere had a very good season too!
 
Well nobody came close to your 36 assists, that was beast haha! But yeah I know he is unreal! May sell Fabregas as Wilshere always outshines him! Fabregas never really performs as he should do though in FM, only when he is controlled by a computer team! I may sell him and get Pastore or someone like that.

You planning on upgrading this even further btw mate? (If thats possible). Or are you going to do a whole new tactic?

Well every time I tweaked this current tactic it always turned out to be worse than the one I've published so I doubt I'm posting an improvement on this one. Currently I am working on a 4-2-2-2 (2 DM's and 2AM's) and it seems to be working pretty well but not as effective as this tactic. Won every game with Borussia Dortmund original team so far (but I've only played about 8 competitive games so far and not yet played vs Bayern Munich the real test for it). I intend to use it on my Brazil though but I'm having problems arranging enough friendlies to keep testing and tweaking the tactic! Anyway I'm glad this tactic is a success so far and hope as many people as possible will enjoy playing the game with it :)
 
Ahh nice, good luck with it. I'd defo give that a look also when you release it

:D

Mate, im taking the **** out of what a failure Hargreaves was, not your tactic.
 
mate, am trying to create a working 4231 myself, was just asking myself, why your fb have a much lower mentality than your center backs. whats the idea behind this?

The thinking behind it is more towards getting involved in the game, making themselves available for a pass if the team requires them to. It generally works, they get around 30-40 passes each game and helps to keep the possession.

I just had my first pre-season friendly of the new season
It was against a relatively unknown team arranged by my assistant manager. Anyway here is the stats from the match.

Maybe you notice the opposition had a red card. Didn't make much of a difference. I was already 6-0 up when it happened. Anyway this is my biggest ever win with the tactic. 12 CCC's is also the most I've had too. It impressed me I guess considering the possession I had too!

And for the 2nd season I have bought David De Gea, Phil Jones, Ashley Young and Thiago if anyone is wondering. 1st season I bought no-one major.

EDIT: I think my previous screenshots of me going through a whole season unbeaten drawing only twice and winning the rest is much more useful than this screenshot. I just looked at the team and the opposition really was that bad.

Haha, I always have a friendly against a team like that as my last friendly, usually get easily into double figures. Once had one where a player scored 8 \o/ Gets the morale up for the first league game :)
