SMSL's Plug n Play Championship - FM 2012


Recommended Posts

We all know that there are no super plug n play tactics but there are plug n play tactics. The question is...

Just how good are they?

The idea of this competition is to provide a link to your plug n play tactic which I will then download and use with my chosen side for this FM 2012 challenge. I will then go on "holiday mode" with the instruction to the AssMan that he must use this tactic.

There will be 3 Championships up for grabs.

There will be the "tactics creator" championship. Where you will you use "create a tactic" mode to make your tactic. So all your players must use predefined player roles and duties.

The 2nd championship is for "classical tactics". Done in the traditional mode with arrows etc...

The 3rd championship is for the overall title.

Now the way to win this title is by the chosen side amassing league points, GD, etc. Although I shall also note cup performances.

I have decided that anyone can come up with a tactic for the likes of Barcelona and other big clubs so I have gone for a small club just promoted into a bottom division in a small country. The club is...

I will update the championships as often as I can which should be pretty regular as the League should fly by at a quick rate.

I will also try the tactics on a 1st come 1st serve basis so if I accidentally miss yours out don't hesitate to let me know in this thread.

Note this team will struggle. Just keeping them up will be a seriously good achievement. You are also permitted to enter the Championship as many times as you like as long as it is YOUR tactic. Please don't forward someone else's tactic(s) as they may not wish to enter.

I decided to post here but I could just have easily posted in the Tactics section.

Please state if your tactic is a "Creator" tactic or a "Classic" tactic.

Good luck...

And the Squad?

So as you can see, already its a very tough target just to survive.

So next up is ri916's 2nd attempt...

The weird thing this time around is more points but a worst final position, finishing last!

Time for Elnaith's 5-3-2...

Well I'm afraid it's the worst to date. Relegated in 15th place.

So onto stothy's 442 classic tactic. It earned 3rd out of the 4 tactics so far but had an awful time in the cups winning just one game.

Now for MadDog's 442. Sorry to say that relegation was still not avoided. Only a paultry 13 points were achieved from the 30 league games with the club finishing 15th.

And the season's squad stats...

So MadDog's tactic takes it place at the foot of our championship.

So onto MadDog's 2nd tactic, a 5221. In a word disastrous mate. I did say "famous last words". A massive 10 points and bottom of the entire league.

Next up ri916's latest attempt to better his lead with a 4231 formation. It broke a lot of records but sadly all the wrong ones. NO WINS, and just FIVE points. His only cup win was on penalties after a 0-0. Oh well nack to the drawing board mate.

4-4-2 Tight Counter - Creator tactic.

That's a dropbox link, so you should be able to grab it by just right clicking and saving the target.

I think the hardest part is finding one of the "create a tactic" formations that will fit the players already at the club well. I'm sticking with this submission for now, but for future reference: Do we have to purely use the tactic creator, or is it still considered a "creator tactic" as long as you don't use the option to "convert to classic" and start poking around?

Next is jimbowmanuk's Ecosse tactic. Basically a sweeper 122212 formation LoL. Couldn't possibly be any worse could it? Could it avoid relegation? The answers are no and er... no! Still EVERY tactic has seen this club relegated. The cup results were also poor. However, as a plug n play tactic it is good enough go into third place in our merit table.

I have the top classic ;)

You have the ONLY classic! LoL

Well, well, well the next tactic has set a new record for right reasons. ShyBaldBuddhist's 4-1-3-2 Targetman has become the 1st tactic to avoid relegation. Not only that but he takes the lead on our merit table.

NorthernIrishSecondDivisionOverview_Stages-9.png

The squad actually has a striker with his goals tally in double figures!

Those tactics had better be good with a name like that! :D

Haha, well I had a bit of success with them on a few saves, but generally it's based on the players your using, rather than the tactic. Although that's less of the case with some tactics like Mr.Hough's.

Biscotti's 442 tight counter is next on our hit list. The bad news was once again relegation but surprisingly this tactic takes the lead thanks to the 30 points amassed.
