adamc81 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 3rd season is gonna be a hard one in my save, Chelsea have signed Cavani to play upfront with Torres with Hazard behind them alongside M'villa. United have just signed Costa to play behind Rooney and Lukaku who was on fire last season, whilst City's midfield consists of Hamsik, Sanchez, Silva, Sissoko and Vidal. Arsenal the champs seem to be buying a weird variety though so i think i should be able to take them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nellie Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Unlucky mate hope you don't get sacked and can turn it around Well I put my toys back in the pram and decided I wasn't going to go out with a whimper and given this is generally the sort of squad I try to assemble that I might as well sort out a tactic and see what happens. Having scoured the tactics forum for inspiration I've settled on a 4-1-2-3 using a narrow midfield and frontline. If the 4-2-3-1 relied on nippy wingers running in to create space for the lone front man this one simply batters the opposition into submission. Lucas and Defour are my anchormen. Gerrard and hazard my first choice central midfielders set to attack with mereiles, sissoko, eriksen, de bruyne and thiago giving me some flexibilty depending on the approach required and to cover form and fitness. I probably should look to get more attack minded full backs to complement coentrao but Robinson is coming along nicely even if serge aurier is struggling to prosper in this formation at the moment. Up front Suarez competes with neymar as an advanced forward, Sanchez fills the middle as my deep lying forward with Tafer onthe right as a poacher and counter attacking outlet. With only two easy games to adapt (and a few restarts to tweak, I admit) things started to come together. Then came the big guns with the mancs in the league turned over 3-2 at Anfield giving the squad a much needed morale boost resulting in arsenal in the fa cup getting a taste of their own medicine and reviving a 5-0 thrashing at the emirates. It's still a work in progress the squad are neither adapted fully to the formation and are only now getting the level of fitness required to sustain the workload it requires. I have to beat Chelsea and rely on some other teams doing the same to have any hope of hauling in their 12 point lead but were now playing like defending champions again. In hindsight "doing a Chelsea" and flogging a lot of my experienced squad was also a mistake. Adapting to the formation and workload has played havoc with my teams condition and wile most of them have the attributes, I suspect a lot of why I still had some poor results was a combination of poor morale and a lack of experienced players/captains on the pitch. I'm keeping the 4-2-3-1 trained and will revisit it. Versions of it have done me well for a few versions of FM I just can't put my finger specifically on what's gone wrong this season.

Nellie Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Nice. I went unbeaten for 37 games using the 4-2-3-1 on the previous patch and while I'm not getting too carried away, this is starting to take shape. There's an element of Keegan's attack at all costs approach. But agger,skyrtel, Wilson, shawcross as first choice CBs with Lucas or Defour in front of them in an anchorman role makes for a mean defence. Despite being miles off the pace I've still only lost once or twice in the league. This is the first formation for ages I've used that doesn't have wingers but 3 forwards and 2 CMs set to attack creates chances by thebucket load and just overwhelms the opposition defence. It still feels that it should be vulnerable to teams exploiting the flanks but the combination of the fullbacks and anchorman seems to counter that threat effectively. Still pony on set pieces at the moment but I can accept that for now while I try and scale it back a bit to be less demanding on players with stamina less than 20. Tactical finesse it ain't but I'll take the results gladly at the moment and arsenal can reclaim the mantle of managing 300 passes a game and drawing 1-1 when teams don't roll over for them.

Nellie Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Got a £25M offer accepted for Sakho and he wanted 200k a week get real mate that sort of money only goes to the special talents not defenders I had a similar annoyance, agreed wages etc, but the agent wanted £2.5 million for his services on a £5million transfer. Player wanted to sign, wages not excessive etc etc but agent wouldn't budge and eventually cancelled negotiation. Useless money grabbing so and so's. I'm in the wrong line of work obviously.

Mazaveli Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I've had an idea to release a little more of my wage budget. I'm thinking about releasing or selling all under 18 rejects that come into the squad each year, and not entering the under 18 league. Any good players in the under 18's will join the reserves, where all of my decent regens will play in the reserve league. Should cut a little out the wage budget that way.
