Hawar Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yeah, it's a good tactic that has helped me win trophies by scoring **** loads of goals...... but there is one thing that bothers me about it! And that is, at times, this tactic dosen't neccessarly play free fluid football. Sometimes this tactic will go 10, 15, 20 odd minutes without doing anything. (So basicly, if you are watching it using "Key" highlight, nothing comes up for a while.) Anyway, I just thought I should share it for you get your opinions about it and perhaps some tweeking to solve the above problem. I'll show you few screen shots of the season that I've just finished and then I'll comments about this tactic into more detail. Anyway.... The tactic http://img128.imagevenue.com/aAfkjfp01fo1i-20747/loc98/331475251_table_122_98lo.JPG This season just finished http://img128.imagevenue.com/aAfkjfp01fo1i-20747/loc98/331475251_table_122_98lo.JPG Overview of player stats - http://img14.imagevenue.com/aAfkjfp01fo1i-10362/loc566/331478904_tactics_122_566lo.JPG Average rating http://img245.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=331448563_averagerating_122_443lo.JPG Team of the season http://img227.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=331482102_teamofseason_122_150lo.JPG Top goalscorers from the past season http://img229.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=331485858_topgoalscorers_122_26lo.JPG Past success http://img247.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=331470705_pastwinners_122_56lo.JPG The tactic is probably most likely to work in a standard sized pitch, although if you want to try it in a different size then go ahead... because I don't know if it will work or not. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. The match preparation I left it at team blend... but once again, I haven't tried the other options, so I'm not going to say it won't work with them. The kind of player you would need... obviously a good GK. The fullbacks are a vital part of this team, they provide the extra men and width going forward. So, in addition to the basic defensive qualities you would need, they also need to be a good crosser, good stamina and work rate. As for the CBs, I build my defence around having a good marking, tackling, heading, jumping, strength and also good aggression. This combination of attributes works like a dream in winning the ball back and allowing the front 6 to build on from there. The middle CM is the ball winning midfielder, needs to have work rate, passing, tackling, strength, aggression and also a little bit of creativity would be great since he has the licence to put through balls. The RCM and LCM are both advanced playmakers, so they need good attacking skills, in particular good passing with creativity. Good finishing is also handy, since they will be get in at the end of chances quite regulary. The 3 forward, or 3 musketeers , basicly they all need to have good finishing, compsure (lots of one-on-ones), passing, crossing and pace. The middle CF will probably be your main star (Cavani), but the other 2 forwards will also get their fair share of goals and chances. I hope if you decide to test the tacic that it will come off for you, but one thing you need to note.... this napoli team has been together for a while now, so they have strong understanding. I can't promise this tactic will hit it off from the start. One last thing, team and talk and OI......... just do what you normally do. Anyway, here's the tactic - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HCKXQNV0 cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandi Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I've played about 5 games with it so far, it's looking good. I've had a 7-0 win, a 4-1 away with 10 men for 80 minutes, a 2-0 and a 2-2 away against stronger opposition. I've also lost to Shakhtar and Barcelona, but I'm playing as a Hungarian team and they're quite out of our league. One question though, wouldn't it be a good idea to put the ball winning midfielder in the dm position? Sometimes my midfielders get caught in possession and it would be nice to have some cover behind them. I guess I'll give it a shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also want the ball winning midfielder to score 2 or 3 goals a season.... in the DM position he would have no chance. The cover is provided by the CM anyway...... i mean that's why his mentality is set to defensive. PS, when you go down to ten men, i found out that if you play 432, then that;s probably the best option. Scariface one of the forwards and just play 2 upfront. Make sure one of the forwards is a deep lying forward though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawar Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 glad you like it my friend. It still bothers me that it dosen't always play free fluid football....... but ah well, if you're scoring so many goals, then I guess it dosent matter that much. lol BTW, that regen, was he playing at the centre of the forward three?

wacanda2 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 hawar...i'm trying with fiorentina.....after 2 perfect months...i'm start loosing games...defenders make's a lot of mistakes....did u suggest any tweaks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawar Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 well, i cant suggest anything from just reading your post, mate. Can you give more info? Screenshots? What season are you playing in? What kind of goals werre you conceding? etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandi Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Yes, he was the middle one. I also abused corners with him a bit, cause I couldn't resist the temptation It would have been around 30 total goals without that. The right side guy got 20 goals, the left one around 15 in 30 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawar Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 yeah, the leftsided one kinda seems to get less goals than the other 2, but nonetheless. he's still important and gets in quite few number of crosses. I dont like abusing corners. (i take it you mean corners into the far post.). I'd rather win matches winning the beautifull way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albanian_Kid Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 this tactic is legit, seems the left striker doesnt score as much though compared to the middle man and the right striker im managing Lyon I have Benzema on the left, and Hamdi Salihi of all ppl on the right...hes been my main scorer after the first 7 games still a solid tactic, 7 games in my third season only drew one game and I had 5 first teamers gone because they were playing in the olympics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawar Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 try changing the left striker's tactical instruction to EXACTLY match the right striker's instructions. I did that and, I think, the left striker is now scoring nearly as many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggusD Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 anyone had any luck in making this tactic a little bit smoother in terms of creating chances. sometimes it goes 10,15, 20 minutes without doing something. I haven't tried your tactic but I still try to help, in general. If the strikers have Run Forward Sometimes/Often, I often find that they are easier to mark! Have you ever played against a team having their strikers coming deep to get the ball and there's nothing you can do about it? If you want possession football, all your strikers need to make themselves more available to the midfielders, and to do that set Run From Deep to Rarely, as well as giving them a Mentality that makes them less "stressed out". Max attacking mentality is meant as a last resort towards the end of a game only - as they will shoot from all angles and any range instead of making the best choice. In other words, by the sound of your problem, it seems to me that your strikers are too aggressive, "butting their heads" into offside or a defender instead of making themselves available for a pass. If this wasn't helpful, I am sorry I wasted your time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawar Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 well.... it seems to have worked! I think there's more action now. Although I wouldn't say my strikers are neccessarly getting more goals. I'll carry one testing it further and see what happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandi Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Here's a little update from my Hungarian team. The guy I've posted before now has 2 European golden boots, he's been the top scorer in the CL, we are currently on a 70 game unbeaten streak in the league, we've had a 47-game winning streak in all competitions, 2 CL titles, and a bunch of other trophies and awards. All this with a squad whose average age is 22, and my total spending is 14 million pounds 10 years into the game. I think it's safe to say that this is the best tactic I've tried for this year's FM.
