The 4-1-3-2 Rock Tactic

The 4 - 1 - 3 - 2 Rock and Grab Tactic

First of all, this is my first ever tactic posted, and secondly, credit goes to Betis who created the Fantasticna tactic which i have used as a template to start my creation of this tactic. I have changed several bits, including the formation which is totally different to the Fantasticna tactic which was a 4 - 2 - 2 - 2 formation.

For the original Tactic created by Betis, please visit http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/242687-SEXY-TACTIC-(torres-scored-49-goals-in-38-matches)

This tactic works as a 4 - 1 - 3 - 2 formation with 1 R & L Back, 2 Central Defenders, 1 R & L Midfielder, 1 Defensive Midfielder, 1 Central Midfielder (Playmaker) and 2 Strikers (1 as Target Man). When your players attack, they will focus the passing through the middle, sometimes taking it wide, keeping possession and creating chances often, mainly for your Target Man. When on the defence, your attacking style R & L midfielders will drop back to defend, your Defensive midfielder will defend as well as all your 4 defenders, giving you a big chance of stopping the opposition.

This tactic like all others needs the right players, otherwise you will just fail.

Here's a few screenshots...

Tactic Information

This is a classic tactic so their are no in-game shouting.

I don't use OI's because i dont feel their is any need to.

Team Talks are up to you, i usually ask the assistant and then modify it.

Use any training you would normally use.

Pitch size is at Maximum here, which i think suites the tactic.

You should try the tactic with a much weaker team,

I'm doing that as you speak

I'm trying it with Everton now.

1 thing about this tactic, don't expect to score loads unless you have 2 class wide men, like i have Nani and Modric, but Park and giggs didn't cut it.

would hardly discribe Everton as a much weaker team, but them results with United look solid

That isn't the best screenshot of my results as i've played further and van der sar is on 37 clean sheets in 52 games.

Once i've done some testing with Everton as a Mid Table Team, i shall move onto Sunderland.

Also look at the average ratings for an idea of why i think this tactic works.

u can suck with this tac...rly vary bad kid..

Nice constructive words... Well done

Remember, no tactic is going to work untill your team gets used to it and also remember to look at the attribute requirements, they are there for a reason. People who think they can just jump into a game with a new tactic and win instantly, you are very much mistaken.

What position is the playmaker? MC?

interesting thAt vidic has scored 15 goals !!!

what is his corner setting

to be honest even with man utd to only concde 12 goals in 28 games is out of this world,before you criticise this tactic look at that statistic and try and create your own to challenge that,i bet that there is not many tactics that can boast a defensive record like that.I made a 4-1-2-2-1/4-5-1 tactic recently,it is on this site,worked outstanding with everton got them to 3rd place finish in first season just getting assistant to selcect my starting 11 and kept standard training as my heart is not in everton as i am a very loyal man utd fan,but when it came to using the tactic with man utd it just would not work,with everton it destroyed the big teams but compalcent against weaker,but again with united conceded more goals than my everton test and only finished 4th with united.Before you put silly comments give it a try/test with a team like sundrerland,cos trust me that defensive record is brilliant,i am sure other top tactics makers on here will say that to

i am going to download tomorrow and look at how your defence is setup

interesting thAt vidic has scored 15 goals !!!

what is his corner setting

Yes, Vidic scored 4 goals in 1 match aswell, 3 were corners

In Team Instructions, corners are set to the far post which is where vidic stands, because he has a good head, he's able to score a few, but i notice with this tactic that i get a lot of corners because we miss a lot of opportunities, so this is probably why vidic has scored so many. As for Vidic, he is set to attack the far post.

What position is the playmaker? MC?

Yes the playmaker is the MC, in my case i'm using Vidal who isn't really much of a playmaker, but it still seems to work for him.

Thanks Gav, i'll just put his comment down to the fact he's a Liverpool fan. I know people are going to mainly judge it because i was using a top class team, but the fact is, i just came across this while playing a man utd save, it would have been the same if i was doing any other save. It works for me, it might not work for others, i just thought i'd share it to help people out, if it doesn't, at least i've tried

even with a top team it's not always easy as people think

I do have to admit that im having mixed results at start of my Everton save, but i did beat Chelsea 3 - 1 comfortably.

u can suck with this tac...rly vary bad kid..

Please don't post such rubbish, try and keep the feedback constructive atleast and give valid reasons to why you think something sucks.

Sterling first contribution there, totally worth signing up for.

looks good mate....dont take stick from some no hoper liverpool fan...hes just upset his team is so crap this year

I think the key thing in this tactic is to have 2 quality center backs, because from studying my Man Utd save, Vidic and Ferdinand are absolute rocks, but with some lower teams, they can't seem to stand the pressure sometimes. The key thing would probably be to invest in this area when you start your game. The fullbacks seemed fine as they were. Also look to use a proper Defensive Midfielder and MC, don't use AMC's. I loaned Macheda in my Everton save and he was sensational in the striking area.

this year !!! what about last year

sorry , does he play lcb or rcb

sorry , does he play lcb or rcb

He plays DCR

If your playing as a different team then id recommend getting someone like Vidic who has 19 heading and 17 jumping, because he could potentially hit 20 goals a season from headers. He hasn't scored recently though, heres a picture of the big man.

Althought i said Vidic hasn't scored recently, he's just scored twice against Wolves, both corners, 1 header, other he headed which keeper saved then he slotted in the rebound. It seems the new patch hasn't changed anything. I'm going to retry the tactic once i've finished this season with a different team again with the new patch.

Do you think this tactic will work with teams like Napoli or Fiorentina? Maybe you can suggest any midtabel team and i can try it and show you my results

Sorry for my bad english
