Valonz Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 You can try it yourself and see? I don't know for myself as I've never tried it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the--dud Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Introduction/changes to the off-side rule makes it pretty much impossible I believe... Try it if you want but! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Doubtful. If it worked so well for the Busby Babes etc, then there must be a reason why it wont work now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGLiverpool Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Tried it once when I desperately needed a goal to get into the playoffs, tried it for 20 minutes, no goals scored either end though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBaba Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 fm is a bit dodgy. i put 5 up top n 4 am n 1 cb in 1 game at half time that i was losing there was 1 highlight and that was a near miss for me. how can 45mins of 1 person in my half have only 1 highlight.

djibril'sbird Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 ^ because you were losing and had 5 strikers, the other team probably just went defense and contained... either that, or they just passed it around your 3man midfield.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdozt Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 i was using this formation in cm3 italia and it was the most successful formation i ever used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djibril'sbird Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 ^ the game develops a lot over 6 years, the match engine has improved a lot. also, you used cm, i've never preferred that to the fm equivelent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is absurd to expect 2-3-5 to be competent in this match engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djibril'sbird Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 ^ so if it's absurd.. what did you expect when you posted before? you made it sound like you supported the continued use of the tactic. and yes, i realize fm's only been around since 2005. i've been playing the series since '06, so in my playing time, cm and fm were seperate, and i've always preferred fm.

Heisenberg Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Until recently there was a thread exploring the use of this formation in Challenges, Sign Ups and Experiments but I can't seem to find it. The author was basing the work on "Inverting the Pyramid" by Jonathan Wilson, but I think he's been unable to continue. If you can find it I'd recommend a look, he'd developed a formation using FM10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
