Great tactic was suprised how well I did in PML with freshly promoted team
View attachment 490569View attachment 490572


Excellent update there Plazic - just wanted to pick your brains. I used MW4a for my Pompey save. First season was not a problem, we pretty much walked the league and set a new record of 103 points. Second season and league one has initially a struggle. I've always been a big fan of 4-4-2 and MW has always been my tactic of choice. Unfortunately, the tactic seemed to desert me and i could barely string a result together.

I ended up switching to a 4-2-3-1 formation which has actually proved really successful and i'm on course to win the league but i miss having two forwards and am keen to revert to 4-4-2 if we gain promotion.

I see you've been very successful with MW and wanted to know whether you've made many tweaks to it? I found my biggest problem was leaking goals so i switched defense around to stoppers and that seemed to hold for a bit but teams were just walking right through my midfield and when it did get forward my strikers we blasting into row Z from 35 yards.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
 
Just finished the 2013/2014 season 3rd with Man Utd with 76 points (22 wins, 10 losses and 6 draws).
I lost 1-3 against Newcastle. Arsenal won with 79 points and Chelsea finished 2nd.
I have been using MW_xPer.v4a. Not as good as everyone says here.
Now I have to find a better tactic for the next season.

Everyone else using this with Man Utd seems to be winning the league first time around. You might want to look at other areas of your management. Although, you could have had a bad run of injuries or luck.
 
Neeewbie did you use home & away set ? Did you check all my tips from post #1 ?
Could you post SS of your season - I want to see where you have lost. Thx

v4a home, league standings

After my instant succes I got with the v4a home tactic last season, I decided to stick with them for this season (to also finally get them fully fluid).

After 17 matches (out of 34) this is the current league table:

Although the actual points are pretty close, mostly because both my main strikers got a 3 month injury (:(), the difference in goals scored/goals coneided is not close at all.. +34 vs +17..

The above image also shows I somehow managed to get through my Champions League group, with PSG, Schalke and Viktoria Pilzen.. I really don't know how that happened because their team/budget is far superior..


Like my previous post; thanks again for the awesome tactic..


Three small notes:


1) When I had very tough matches where I was the major underdog I switched to v4 away, while in other away games I kept using the v4a home (even in away games). v4 away managed to get me trough the champions league group

2) I sometimes tried to use v4 home but it somehow stopped working, I don't know why but it is just not as solid as v4a home (even in away games). Therefore I decided to drop that tactic and continue with v4a home and v4 away

3) @xPer have you ever looked into maybe tweaking it to get more football from the defense to the midfielders. In Holland one of the key aspects of our football (as introduced by Cruijff) is to not have your defense as big guys kicking the ball out of the stadium, but to have them also pass to midfielders, walk forward with the ball.. ect. ect.. he states the the best footballing starts in the defense.

What would happen if the v4a tactic would be further tweaked to get more "football" in there suggested changes:
Goalkeeper to Sweeper Keeper
One fullback to limited full back (maybe?)
One central defender to ball playing defender


Just a suggestion... now Idea if it would work :P

I am using the version 4a both the home and away tactic with my Leeds team in the 4th season in the premier league, last year I became champion with another tactic but I didnt like the way of playing and the amount of goals from my strikers so i switched this season. I have like a team at the moment thats Europe League worthy also because some tycoon took over my club.

I noticed two things in the tactic which im wondering of others have the same problems and how I can solve it:

1) Especially in the home tactic I concede a shitload of goals, mainly because I get through balls in the middle between my two central defenders. Most of the time one CB tries to tackle the player with the ball and he gives the through ball to the other striker. Ofcouse the amount of goals the ME makes with the amount of chances is totally unbalanced but well all in all I concede too much goals. Anyone else experiencing this aswell with a not superb team( so not talking a Real madrid team in season 2020/2021 etc)? Or anyone can get tips to fix it?

2) My left striker (Mitrovic so a good striker) doesn't score alot of goals, most of the time he fires the ball high over or misses alot of big chances/ one on ones( i know this is again a nice flaw in the current system but still). Am i the only one experiencing this?

Looking forward to Xper's or other users of the tactics feedback. Thanks in advance!
 
Sorry for lack of information and reply from me lately but Im involved now at intensive Multiplayer game with my friends which takes all my free time.
Currently Im testing v5 version of MW tweak on our MP game.
Home version is working great - Iv found good balance between effective attack and solid defense (new player roles & instructions). I haven't lost any game at Home and score a lot - all during Multiplayer game (no load/save cheat accusation).
Good news is that in v5 Home tac both Strikers cooperate even better now and score more.
Away version is still under development - it's working great for almost every time but its sometimes struggle against BIG clubs away. It's really hard to develop stable away tactic with balanced solid defense and effective attack with 442 formation on current Match Engine.
For now I can say that v5 Home is finished but I need to work more at Away tac. When I will be fully satisfy from it then I will release both to public.

Glad to hear there is going to be another update for MW as I have recently started playing FM 13 again as the ME is really annoying me at the moment. The other thing I would like to ask you which is a bit off topic but when your playing your multiplayer game with your friends (I'm assuming it's a network game and your not all playing on one laptop/PC) have you found that the matches are incredibly slow to complete well apart from the hosts that is. Me and my mate played a lot of FM 13 in a network game but we cant play FM 14 together as it literally takes him 25-30 minutes to complete one game but when he is playing single game it is normal.

Please don't be too long. Dunno why but last 2 season the v4a haven't been working. Tried other tacs, but I can't get any to gell as well as your mwv4a did for like 10 seasons :D

Well after 10 seasons maybe it's time for some changes and not only tactic but also formation for a season or two ;)
Some said that AI is "learning" your tactics and some said it doesn't.
I believe that after 4-5 seasons played with same tactics there need to be done some change with the formation just to
"reset" AI and your team. Then after 2 seasons back to MW ;)

Yeah I've read that too. But which tacs? :D I've tried like (no jokes) 10+ all from the main page. I tried making my own, but I concede LOTS of goals.

I've been changing between them two. The second one was the one I used mainly last season. Now trying to drop the AMC down to help in defending more.
