Robhug Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Have won the league, undefeated in second season , won uefa cup in first. i know man city have a bit of money but this tactic works brilliantly. left side middle midfield is the playmaker, one big man one little man up front - pace is important. http://rapidshare.com/files/165131589/city1__Man_City__Aug_2008_.tac id be interested to see any other success with it..... **updated** ive now updated this tactic, mcl is still playamker, stl is the good header and str is pacy new 442 playmaker: http://rapidshare.com/files/184551880/NewCnty1.1__Newport_Co__May_2009_.tac use if you get a 3 goal lead or just late on: 541 late on http://rapidshare.com/files/184553337/NewCnty1.2_1up___Newport_Co__May_2012_.tac Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeJebi Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'm currently managing Croatian side Hajduk and just beat Villa 2-1 at home in Uefa Cup with this tactic, I like the gameplay and the defense, I mean good in both offence and defence, I expecially like that the playmaker knows how to make himself available for his teammates to pass him the ball, only 1 match with it but really good, gonna keep u posted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnesd Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Am going to try this tactic now, big game against Sevilla in the Champions League so I hope it works! Edit - won 3-1 but was a lot closer than that going by the stats. They had a lot of possession and attempts on goal, and one of my goals was a penalty. And they had 2 players sent off in the last 10 minutes and Robinho missed a 2nd penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlo116 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 AMAZING!!! I faced Villeraeal away from home as Liverpool in the Champions league and they were firm favourites. Up until this game i had struggled to get any decent performances out of Torres. However with this tatic implemented Torres scored two first half goals to ensure we won 3-1 with their only goal (and decent chance) coming from a keeper error. He even managed to pick up man of the match because of it! Thank you very much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robhug Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Do you use any oi in this tactic? only against the big teams, closing down Fabregas, Gerrard, Deco and Rooney/Ronaldo. I find i steamroller the lower teams so dont need to bother closing them down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading\'s Revolving, Rant Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 just setting up my team now. Looking forward to this mind you, i have a fairly large challenge for the first match, having just failed miserabley with my own tactic against R Madrid at home, i now have to score at least 2, and win, away :S i'll let you know how i get on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading\'s Revolving, Rant Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 haha, ok the first match was less than ideal... In the first minute, Raul broke through my apparently non existant defence and scored. four and a half minutes later, Radoi had the intellegence to elbow Van Nistelrooy in the face (fair play, we've all wanted to do that at some point) This made me laugh, or cry (i can't remember which) because i remember saying in the pre-match press conference that it was "vital" my players kept a cool head hehe. I then got another player sent off and lost 6-1, happy days. I'll stick with this for a bit, but it better inprove soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Diarra as the right sided middle midfielder really does excel. If you can afford him try and get Fellaini from Everton and try him as the MC that gets in the box, the amount of headers he is putting away really makes a difference Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CREW Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Gave this tactic a go as Liverpool. Won all the friendlies ok. Scraped wins against some small teams in the league then got beat 3 - 2 by Juventus in the champions league then Tottenham destroyed me 4 - 0 at Anfield and it should have been 8 because they missed an open goal 4 times and we never had a shot. Sorry but it just doesn't seem up to much to me. It should be doing better than that with Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry85 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 The difference in PPM is what makes a potentially good poacher bad in this formation. A striker with the PPM of 'moves into channels' isn't really effective in the poacher role as they are not in the correct position to receive a slotted pass from the strong forward. So if you have a fast striker with a PPM of 'moves into channels' I would advise tweaking his settings to try to get him to stay more central.

magtillidie Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 you need to select him on the drop down menu on the right hand side Im NUFC and currently have Guthrie in the LCM but he's not exactly a playmaker and don't have the funds to buy one. So far without selecting a playmaker I won all 4 friendlies well and beat Boro 3-0 in my 1st game of season so maybe I can get away without putting him as a playmaker.

CREW Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 who did you use as a playmaker I used Gerrard as my playmaker on the left and alonso on the right. I think it may also be down to morale after the defeat to Juventus but it was just shocking because we were doing so well in the league, clear 3 points at the top then band 4 - 0 down at home to tottenham and we hardly had a kick. What made it even worse was that I went onto the club information screen just afterwards and the game crashed and I had to shut it down so I'd be angry if i did win to be honest because I hadn't saved my game.

Sold Beye for 6.5m and accepted an offer from Spurs for Owen £20m only for a transfer embargo to come in place for a takeover, deadline day has now passed and Im stuck with what I have and stuck with Owen who doesnt want to sign a contract. I would have had £24m to replace Owen and get a playmaker. 3 wins from 3 so far have set Guthrie as playmaker the last 2 not ideal but I'll persist.

I'm thinking Riquelme van der vaart was for sale on mine so an obvious choice. Diego from werder and Jovetic from Fiorentina looked good too. i bought Vukcevic who im going to use a bit now. the problem (or advantage) with City is you really can buy loads or top players. id be interested if any llm have given this tactic ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
