AbsoluteGenius Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I am nearing the end of my 2015/2016 season with Barcelona and I have to face Zaragoza. Before the match, I notice that their new manager is Raul, the Real Madrid legend. There is nothing unusual in that, as lots of ex-players become managers. However, I load the pre-match screen and I see this: Zaragoza are playing 4-2-4 from the start? Surely that can't be right; I bet it will be 4-4-2 when the match engine starts. Then I see this: What? Raul is actually playing the whole match against my dominant Barcelona side with a 4-2-4 formation? He is going to get slaughtered... After 75 minutes he finally switches to 4-4-2 and the match ends in a very annoying 0-0 draw. I am now only top of the league based on my head-to-head with Madrid. There are five games to go. I then look at Raul's manager profile... Raul plays all of his matches in the 4-2-4 formation? Is he some kind of football revolutionary who has mastered the art of not needing a midfield? Is this what happens in the future: midfielders become obsolete? Is this the type of football that the real-life Raul would play? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 There's a manager in Italy (FM not real world) that always plays 4-2-4, managed to compete surprisingly well as noone seemed able to counter his tactic that appeard to always have 7 in defence & 7 in attack.

AbsoluteGenius Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 How is Raul doing with Zaragoza? He's not doing too bad. His first match in charge was against Athletico Madrid and his few losses were close matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
