TacticalGenius Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Tactic Information: This tactic uses a variation of the age-old 4-4-2 formation, and is designed to balance a stout defence with attacking flair. This is a tactic for defensively minded managers, and it is ideal for lower-league teams. Tactic SS: Results: So far: End of 1st season: Tactic Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?o2417784zkj8nkb Picking Players: Use common sense with stats when picking players. AMR should be right footed, AML should be left footed. The DL and DR must be able to cross and dribble well. The MCL should have a physical presence as well as good tackling and passing ability. The MCR should have high Stamina, Passing, Dribbling and Decisions as a minimum. The AML/AMR should be a typical pacey winger who can Dribble and Cross well. The STL should be a pacey Poacher. The STR should be physical, with a big aerial presence and Heading ability as well as Shooting, a lá Drogba. Note: I had the AMR winger cutting inside as my winger had sufficient ability to perform as an inside forward as well as a winger, but his primary focus was crossing, so a right footer is the best option imo. If your player is more of an out-and-out winger, untick cuts inside. OI's: I use AsstMan OI if he has high Tactical Knowledge. If not, use your own if you have the nous, leave alone if not. 'Work ball into box' is useful if players are shooting from distance too often. Pitch Size: My pitch size is the Champions League maximum, 105m x 68m, but even at smaller away grounds this tactic performs well. Disclaimer: This is a base tactic to work from, not a definitive 'use and you'll be as successful as Alex Ferguson' tactic. It can be for some people, if it all clicks with their own style and the players they have, but generally it will need tweaking, and that's for them to do, not me, it's their team, they need to watch and see what's not working and what is. Please leave feedback, whether positive or constructive. Thanks for reading, Enjoy! TG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacticalGenius Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Good results, how many has the target man scored? Only 11 in 20 apps, but he has been unhappy about me not letting him move, so that has played a part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad at all considering he's unhappy, I take it though Muniain gets most of the goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcidBurn Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Wow, I hope it can continue even half as good as the first match. I am Hercules by the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalGenius Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Not bad at all considering he's unhappy, I take it though Muniain gets most of the goals. It is pretty even between the two strikers, actually. EDIT: Though Muniain does have the highest 'shots on target' in La Liga, on 60%. David Villa is 2nd on 59%.

dan99 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Give this a quick try with Liverpool, played 10, won 9, scored 24, conceded 6 (half of them own goals). Gerrard did get sent off twice in them matches. Good tactic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEEEEEO Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Having a lot of success with this tactic, slightly modified to fit my Burnley team. P: 17 W:12 D: 3 L: 2 so far since switching to this, and looking good for promotion. Lost 4 of my first 7 games before. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacticalGenius Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 how is it in 11.2.1? I could only guess as I'm not currently using it, but I'd say it should still be just as effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoopLeHoff Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Just a quick post to thank you for this tactic. I have been tearing my hair out for weeks trying to implement something similar with Newcastle to no avail. I have used your tactic as a framework and things are looking up! I will post some screenshots when I have played a few more games. Once again thanx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GylfiAsCharged Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I'm going to give this one a try, is this anything like your CM tactic last season? That was a great tactic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ919 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I'd love to try this tactic but I'm having trouble downloding from Mediafire. Would it be possible to upload somewhere else? This is unusual as I normally find Mediafire to be reliable. Edit: Never mind, it's working now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
