SnakeXe Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Choose the 4-4-2 Diamond default formation and modify the instructions as follows: Emphasis - Attacking Passing - Short Tackling - Normal Pressing - Yes Offside trap - No Counter Attack - No Men Behind the Ball - No Player instructions Passing - All team Tackling - All team, except DM which is set to Hard Pressing - Back four and goalkeeper No, Rest Team Pass to - All R/L/C Set pieces (A) - DL/DR Back, rest forward. Set Pieces (D) - All back except one striker (set to Forward) and one of the DM/AM (set to Normal), choose which depending on who is better in the air (the best should be set as back obviously) Free role - All No Forward runs - DL/DR, Wingers and AM Yes, rest No Run with ball - Wingers and AM Yes, rest No Hold up ball - All No Long Shots - AM Yes, rest no (unless you have a DM who is especially good from long range, in which case set him as Yes aswell) Through Balls - AM Yes, rest No Cross Ball - DL/DR and Wingers Yes, rest No Marking - GK (none) DL/DR (Zonal) DC/DC (Man) DM (Man) MR/ML (Zonal) AM FC FC (None) -------------------------------------------- Won two successive Champions Leagues with Inter with this tactic, along with Serie A (turning a 20 point deficit behind AC Milan in one season to a 15 point lead the next). Toni Cassano got 25 for the season from the AM position, Angelo Palombo in the DM got 15 MoMs. Haven't tried it with a lesser team yet, would probably need tweaking, but it's a good offensive tactic for those who want to use wingers (otherwise I'd suggest thebugels 4-3-3). NB: I'd recommend an AM/FC for the AM position, it seems to work better (Cassano is perfect) Edit - Sorry I can't upload, no USB cable for my PSP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo_Dave Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I've kind of trialed something similar to this and been quite successful so i'd guess with a bit of tweaking it could work for any teams. I'll give it a go tonight! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Edwards Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Im certainly dominating the Matches, Im on a Mid Season slump at the minuite, So i changed to your tactic Match 1 Full Time : Wolves 3 - 1 Derby Half Time Score Wolves 0 - 1 Derby I thought all hope was lost at Half Time, Obviously not. So far so good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Edwards Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Ok, Will do. Also, I was 1st in the league by 8 points before my Slump, then before the win i was 2nd by 1 point. Now i am 2nd by 2 points and a point off 1st. Larsson is doing well with Ebanks Blake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Edwards Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 2nd Match - Barnsley AWAY Half Time Score Barnsley 0 - 2 Wolves Full Time Score Barnsley 2 - 3 Wolves I was so ANGRY when they equalized, 92nd Minuite, Beevers knocked it in! Good So Far, Ebanks Blake Double! Beevers One My training is Defensive to the Defenders, Offensive to Attackers ect. I put the fitness on Medium though, Bwcause it is mid season.

SnakeXe Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Nothing worse than hammering a team all game and only scoring once, then they get one flukey shot on goal and it sneaks in off the keeper's arse or something... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo_Dave Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I total;ly forgot you had posted this before. I just wrote a while ago on another thread that you should post it. If you can win 2 or 3 premierships in a row then i'dsay the tactic works so if I were you i'd stay at Liverpool and try to win a few things and trial this longer term also.

SnakeXe Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 I've stopped using this tactic with Liverpool as our performances were getting a little bit stale so I wanted to shake things up a bit - might point to this not being a long-term success, but we'll see. I did win the major treble with them though so it can't be all that bad! I'm still using it with England though, here's my record: P8 W8 D0 L0 F21 A1 Including 3-0 against Germany, 3-0 against Croatia and 4-0 away to Romania.

myfm2009dontwork Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 going to start using this formation, looks a bit interesting, i tend to use 442 normal... with liverpool though start with £44million budget, so i went and bought Ronaldinho for my right side and give Babel free reign on the left. I do tend to struggle to score goals though so any help with that?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerongo Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I've addjusted your tactic a bit, playing as Tottenham. And with great success. Inspired by Flameboy's "flaming 4-1-3-2" I have set the DM to long passings, which makes him very good rated in every match and makes the DM assist goals too.

I do tend to struggle to score goals though so any help with that?? How badly do you struggle? It's hard to score loads of goals on FMH09 whatever formation you're using. Does the tactic need tweaking against different types of formation the opposition uses? I don't think so, although that'd be something to look into next time I use this formation.

SnakeXe Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 I'm still using my 3-5-2 at the moment, seems to get me results most consistently out of every tactic. thebugel's 433 and my 4-4-2 diamond don't seem to work, St Dazzle's 4-5-1 works still in international football but doesn't score consistently enough to use over a whole league season. I'm going to give your 4-2-4 and 4-4-2s a go next time I move clubs I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridley99 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 ive got 2 442 tactics and an old 424 tactic on the forum somewhere, could be in the tactics thread iirc. Give them a shot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
