Aquaplex Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Can you be successful picking a tactic to play based on opposition scout report and the highest number of goals they have allowed in said tactic? I was thinking of giving that a shot but i am not sure if that would be a wise decision. So for example, i read the scout report and it says the opponent has given up most goals against a 4-5-1, should i then select that formation? Has anyone done something like this when picking their game strategy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase19 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 maybe if it's one of the tactics you use on a consistant basis, but i wouldn't reccomend making a new tactic for each opponent. your team needs to learn the tactic to be good at it, that's why the match prep. is there. so i guess if its one of the 3 you have trained for, sure. if not, no. myself, i have 3 trained, but i typically only use one that i'm comfortable with. i have another that i use if i have injuries or whatever that force me to because i don't have the players to fit my "main" tactic.

phnompenhandy Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Only change formation if its one of your 3 and the players are competent in it. Otherwise, pay attention to the times they score their goals. For example, if they score a lot of goals in the first 15 minutes, start the match with controlled possession; if they concede a lot in the first 15 mins start with attack, all guns blazing. Check where their assists are coming from - there there a player who needs tight marking/heavy tackling? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkwan Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 " the opponent has given up most goals against a 4-5-1, " this doesnt make sense at all, let say midway through a season, team have already played some thousands of minutes however during the only 45 mins that they have faced this formation 4-5-1, they conceded 3 goals, averaging 1 goal conceded per 15 mins. does that alone enough to mean that they struggle against 451? because the sample is not big enough for a decision. you certainly won't want to change your familiar 442 to 451 just because of 1 sentence " the opponent has given up most goals against a 4-5-1, " Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkwan Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 SI need to sort this out seriously, in the description , they should include those formation that have some enough minutes to sample before making a decision whether they struggle or excel playing against which formation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Surely that's up to you the manager to interpret. The scout is just giving you the data. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
