Feddemaster Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Nice... It's about the same as mine. But why would you put tackling on hard for just the cms? You already have the whole team on hard tackling (so "team" in player instructions equals "hard" in team settings) So you kinda put the cms on hard tackling twice, see my point? Is this for easy changing during the match or is it a typo or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbuullddoogg Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Is this the best tactic you've ever used, Ridley? Just wondering because I know from reading your posts that you know a lot about this game and I respect your opinions. I am using a 4-1-3-2 right now (it was one posted on these forums) and I have a lot of success with it but the 3 midfielders and are pretty central and AMR's and AML's aren't really able to play in that formation too well which can be annoying. I am going to start a new game soon as a big team and was thinking about swapping to your tactic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridley99 Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 ive tried quite a few, and id say not blowing my own trumpet that this had the most instant success in the premier where as if you are starting from the conference i would reccomend jambo daves tactic, that has worked reallly well for me and im still using it in one of my games and im now in the year 2021 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbuullddoogg Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Ok cool. I will be starting in the Premier league or Serie A so I'll probably give it a try. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

13lue13ird Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I'm using it for Cardiff in the Championship and I've won the first 2 games, against QPR and Wolves. Cheers Ridley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbuullddoogg Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Ok so I tried this out for half a season with Chelsea and although I did well, I didn't do as well as with my normal tactic. I was top of the league at christmas so obviously it's a good tactic but I was only a point ahead and was finding it very hard to score goals and opponents were getting more shots on me than I'm used to. I was also drawing more games than I should. Maybe it suits Man Utd better than Chelsea. Still a great tactic though and extremely similar to the 4-1-3-2 I usually play. I'm planning on starting a Valencia game and we'll see how 4-1-3-2 does with that. Not sure how Vicente & Joaquin will do playing more central than usual but we'll see.

bbuullddoogg Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hey Ridley have you ever tried your tactic with 4-4-2 attacking instead of 4-4-2 normal? I'm at work right now so I can't try it out but I'd be interested to see how well that worked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
