dafuge Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I use attacking fullbacks, they push forward to allow my wingers to also push forward into very attacking positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I use fullbacks on attacking with a 4132 system (DM & 3*MCs). The DM is a defensive anchor man, central MC an attacking MC while the two wider MCS supporting playmaker & box to box. Fullbacks on attacking to provide width.

Snaus Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 In most of my tactics do I use a single target man striker. Usually a large strong good passing one, to bring in my midfielders. In 1 tactic I use that with attacking full backs, who overlap wingers that cut inside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_numbers Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I've been having beliting results with wingbacks recently as part of a more defensive formation, feeding two up front. Stamina is the critical key for it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Football Manager. Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Attacking wing backs in a 4-3-3 is the only one out of them lot i have managed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauly1616 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 am currently playing 352 wing-backs, low tempo, sit back, libero goes forward when we have the ball. 6 trophies with tottenham in the first 3 seasons including EPL- first time a sweeper has been decent for me in many FM's.

SSGTroyer Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 My 4-3-3 Attack uses fluid, direct passing (shouted to 'Get the ball Forward' and 'Work into the Box') and attacking fullbacks to great success. I regularly see my fullbacks - especially the one that has the 'Hug the Line' PM - deep in the channel looking for a pass from the playmaker CMC or one of the outer MCs.

Camb0dia Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I ran a 4-2-3-1 with direct passing and a single target man (dzeko)- two wingers and adv playmaker support with man city, Dzeko averaged 40 goals for two straight seasons- lots of headers. Run a 4-3-3 that morphs into a 2-5-3 or a 3-4-3 (depending if i run with two wingback attacks or one) with barca atm (this is a tactic i picked up from someone else) had bale and alves as the wingbacks (in a fb spot) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephanie McMahon's Secret Lover Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I use attacking full backs with inside forwards instead of wingers. I find this works a treat and the full backs have plenty of overlapping runs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenco Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I use attacking full backs with inside forwards instead of wingers.

mcleod_69_69_69 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 On my 4-2-3-1 formation I almost always use a target man, on support too. I use wing backs, pushed up so they're in line with the DM position. I have one on attack, with a supporting winger who cuts inside. And one of support with an attacking winger who hug the touchline.

Dekker2 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 A Full House! Though not all in the same version of FM. I used a long ball tactic to a lone target man (run onto ball) a few FMs ago to take Oxford up the leagues. I just had a really pacy striker, great off the ball, and a couple of decent passing midfielders and scored all my goals exclusively from one-on-ones. My striker couldn't finish for toffee, which meant I had to change things up once we reached the championship and the chances were far fewer, but it was great for the lowest leagues. In FM10, which is the last game I bought, I play with a Barcelona-modelled formation, and thus a right wing back on attack instruction, though I have made some custom changes (gave him a free role, set his mentality to the highest attack level, stopped his crossing) so that I can play Barca-esque through-the-middle passing football. They're bloody useful in a free role, because when they decide to come inside the AMR and make a run between the FB and CB, the defence don't have a clue how to cover them. The Libero was even more unmarkable. I finally got it (sort of) working in FM09, but it was a huge bloody effort, and I think I cheated with FMRTE to get a "gets forward whenever possible" PPM on the player, after he constantly refused to learn it. I had a perfectly gelled squad (5 Years with no transfers) and still needed to get PPMs, instructions and formation just right, before I could get the Libero to go the hell forward and be useful. And even then, sometimes he'd dribble straight into the back of midfielders and then just stand there while their ST would dribble through the gaping centre of your defence and score. It was worth it, though, for the times he intercepted, slalomed through midfield and then scored from the edge of the area, or played a perfect through ball. A Romanian newgen called Iannou Smarandache was the guy I had there - 20 anticipation, positioning, tackling, and 18 marking, dribbling, passing, creativity. You've always got to retrain a DM, if you want the right attribute distribution. I generally retrain short DMs to get my wing backs also. And tall DMs for my ball-playing CBs. The CB/DM/MC newgens fill about half the positions in my teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbowie Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I tried long ball tactic with to head and couldn't get it to work. I have played a target man with a 'run onto ball' instruction, and that's how I always prefer to setup teams so I use that a lot, especially when I don't have good strikers or only 1 good striker. Libero, never in a million years. They just don't work. Not worth the risk. Attacking Wing/Full Backs, sure. That just depends on the quality of my team compared to others.

eplkewell Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I have used all of them... I have actually used all of them successfully in the same tactic. I've ran a 5-4-1 with attacking wingbacks, a libero, my lone forward set as "complete forward (attacking)" with the target man box checked, and long passing.

moon_goat Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I won the UEFA cup and went unbeaten the whole season with a single tactic that uses a libero, a target man, and fullbacks on attack. First season, didn't buy any players, with Austria Vienna. Bragging Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
petey_g Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I've only ever had success with Dzeko as a lone Target striker but I know of others who have made it work. I virtually always play with attacking fullbacks, opens up lots of opportunities down the flanks on the overlap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 "Single striker target man" and "long ball"- not on FM10 or 11. Attacking full backs- this is recognised as one of the major flaws in the ME (overlapping full backs aren't passed to as much as they should be, and therefore aren't effective enough), but I have got it to work. However, I find they're more useful when they act responsibly defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjericho Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I had success with all but the sweeper tactic (which I don't think I ever tried). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehutchenator Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Must set fullbacks to run with the ball if you want them to get really attacking. I always use a terget man and if I don't have 2 good strikers available I play lone striker in a 4-4-1-1. Sure, a lone striker can have bad games but they can also have great games, if your attacking mids and wide players pitch in you will be fine.

heathxxx Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 A single striker formation WITH a target man Voted "Yes". Mostly with lower league clubs, but Macheda is doing rather well for me in that role at the moment in Liga BBVA with Granada. Fullbacks or Wingbacks on Attack instruction Voted "No". I don't particularly like to have my full-backs set to "attack", but I do usually have them set to "automatic". Technically speaking, I could have voted "yes", but they defend/support/attack depending on situations during matches. Sweeper or Libero Voted "No". Just not something I've every really tried, or fancied using in FM. I've a back four system that has worked solidly since about FM08. Reluctant to change a winning formula and always play two "automatic" full-backs, with "stopper" and "cover" centre-backs. A long ball tactic Voted "Yes". Again mostly in lower leagues, but also when I'm trying to "bully" more technically gifted opponents, using a long ball and physical approach. Actually tends to work rather well in Spain against the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona. Winning "ugly" has brought me some great results as I've climbed with Granada CF.

Blidly Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 A single striker formation WITH a target man Yes, never worked but iam using hernadez at MU as a signle striker as poacher and hes scoring Fullbacks or Wingbacks on Attack instruction I often use when i play as MU against weaker or teams that dont have strong fullbacks of their own Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
