[FM15.1.3] 4-2-3-1 Vince ( Test on Lower Leagues : English D5/D6 )

Hi everyone. This is the first tactic I ever put online.

I already play my games with an English D6 club to start. I try to take it to the top. Since last FM, it became way harder, and one again harder that year to play with lower clubs. I tried a lot of tactics found on the internet and it never suceeded for me.

So I tried to mine and I'm pretty proud of it. I used it in 2 clubs and I'm quite happy with it. They play well and score a lot. The only problem is that I still take too much goals (but it tends to improve, you'll see it in my calendar). You can of course help me to improve it.

The tactic :

(Pardon my English, i'm French)

An offensive team to retrieve the ball quicly, to hold possession, to play short and also that cross a lot. You will score a lot of goals by playing well with the sides.

For the players, it's easy. they all roam to retrieve the ball everywhere, the FB will cross a lot, they will run a lot. I ask to everyone to pass the ball shorter once again to not lose it. The forward and AMC will move a lot and often shoot.

You can see at first that I tried things with the tactic, I had a counter mentality before changing it into control which works better. I DO NOT recommend to play in overload if you're losing (which I did against Hednesford for example), just wait in control, and, well, you can't win every match, like in real life. Play in counter when you're playing very good teams (Schrewsbury for me, League 1).

Season's not over but I will probably be champion, I have easy games waiting for me.

Try it, give me your advice !

Well I am not doing too well in the Conference South so shall give it a crack

I guess you must already have some good players, my club was expected to be in the playoffs.. But still, it's the first time it works that well in that FM for me.

My team isn't all that good. we are expected to fight relegation.

Are there any OI or team talk details that should be taken note of?

OI is my adjoint.

Team talk, just no pressure, believe in them etc. Unhappy when defeat or lack of realism. Keep them in green.

I removed Push Higher Up for my new season and with the new patch. I'm 10 for now after 13 days for my first season in Conference Premier.

Just a little update for you on how I have done.

These were how I did before using your tactic, apart from the bottom 3 draws.

And these are since I started using your tactic.

I did remove the Push Up Higher instruction before you mentioned it anyway.

For my Team Talks I have been using FuSS's style of being aggressive and assertive and it seems to bring the best out of them. I judt don't touch OI at all.

Well it seems to be nice, isn't it ?

For me, it's though in D5 , I don't know if that's only the players but I have the worst defense ever. Dunno how to improve it..

I am finding this to be a very good tactic for my Boreham Wood side. Push Higher Up has to be removed away from home or i concede too many goals. The amount of Clear Cut Chances i am creating is insane!

Glad it works. Though, it becomes much harder when you get promoted (D5). You'll te me how you manage it once you'll be there !

Just done a bit of an extreme experiment in the Conference South Play Off Semi Finals and switched to Overload in the second half of the second leg when 2-0 down in the match and 4-0 down in the tie.

Think it worked

Trying it now with Havant ...

Drawn first 3, won the next and just lost a close 3-2 to Bath, ill stick with it though.

I made my own 4-4-2 was working but then stop working, load your Tactic and Im doing good again, I took over a team in December, I'm in feb now. I should avoid relegation with your tactic, also I like more counter with it, at least on my case.

Thanks Vince, I'm enjoying this tactic a lot.

works in latest patch?

Hi, I don't know, I don't have the time to play FM right now. Just test it.

Can we get a screenshot of the player roles?

works in latest patch?

Yes, that's what I'm playing with. It's not a tactic that guarantees winning every game, but is solid and successful.
