high_and_mighty Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Any chance you could post a screenshot of your league after the season with Liverpool. I'm using the original tactic, played 2 in the Prem and won two, 3-1 away at Brum and 2-1 at home to Wolves. Using Gerrard upfront with Torres. Later , when i`ll get home , i`m at work now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won EPL and League Cup with LFC , won RPL with Steaua and got to the semi final in euro cup , and now 2nd with villa in PL , and first in euro cup Who are you using as CB's? Are the FB's attacking or defensive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frodoisdead Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Nice tactic. I'm playing with Spartak and it got me wins against Zenit and Rubin while a draw against Dynamo. The last game I played was a particular highlight though! http://nl.tinypic.com/r/2v97tb5/7 Even though my players aren't exactly right for the tactic, Bazhenov or Ari as the right striker for example, it's still getting good results.

aaannndddiii Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Hey. I'm a fellow tactician and while I haven't been using your tactic, I would like to agree on the fact that away games difficulty have been 'overrated' by SI this year. After an extensive test my testers and I done on my thread on FM-Base (it's okay to mention other forum's name here right?), we found that, at least on my tactic, playing 'standard' instead of 'attacking' (my default mentality) seems to be working well. I know it's a bit obvious - the whole play-more-defensively-on-away-games fact but you don't know how big the impact is unless you try it, especially this year. and as for defending corners. I got no comment on that. Reckons that it's a bug as well. I've tweaked quite heavily but still conceding averaging almost 1 goal per game from corners. That is all. Cheers.

RyanBabel Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Hey minimalfuss, i would like to thank you for this tactic, im using it with ajax and hsv, i tweaked some settings to fit them for my players, i dragged the 2 wingers 1 line back, which results in 65-75% ball possession throughout the match. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simsejensen77 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Welcome back Fuss.. Been used your previous tactics, so im starting a new game now with Man City..

FuSS Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Those with the worst results seem to be those that have a very changed squad....squad harmony is big on FM11....i assume to reel in the unrealistic transfer dealings that usually go on. My current dilema is this: I'm mostly playing this game for my own enjoyment, I've only just had time to complete my first season - second season will be different due to transfers and a massively improved team...SO -do i continue to play for my own enjoyment and the tactic will likely change very little. -do i dedicate a little time to tactics and start again and home what I've got with a default team. I'll read the last page and answer as many questions as I can later tonight, off out im afraid! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzino Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I've found a good thing to do is to use the original Minimal Fuss tactic at home because I never have any troubles winning games at home with and then use the tweaked defence tactic when you are away.

mak1 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I've been developing my own flat 4-4-2 since release day and have good results with Ipswich, was sitting in 2nd place, unbeaten in 9 games. My tactic was based around the 'short passing, keep the ball' and press when don't have it mentality and although quite solid i wasn't scoring very much. Too many 1-0 or 2-1 seat of the pants wins for my liking! Anyway loaded your tactic under match preperation for a couple of games, using it in the second half with great results (think it helps that i had played 15 or so games already with a flat 4-4-2). Scoring more goals and creating a lot more chances. I'm now unbeaten in 19 games and sitting top with a 4 point lead :-). Considering i was predicted for a mid table finish things are going very well thank you. Not using the tweaked version but am changing the CB configuration slightly but for my team there's not a lot wrong with it. Top job again Mr Fuss!

FuSS Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 I've found lowering the width 1 or 2 notches has been helpful with defending; not tested long term yet, so can't say for sure. Tweaked version is good for fast defences, original good for strong defences - I've making a more defensive version for away games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dking Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 hey Minimial, just wondering why you have your trequartista set to move into the channels and your poacher set to normal?

ubos Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Completely didn't work for me. Sent my Chelsea side tumbling out of the group stages of the Champs League, losing my first 3 games to Feyenoord, Shakhtar, Juventus, and had me drawing at home against the likes of Ipswich in the league. Had to revert back to my own tactic which saw me winning the league and Champs League double in my first season, but I have to win the last game against Juventus to get 3rd place in the group.

IMT Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Had to laugh, playing as Spurs and just couldn't turn a whole run of draws into wins, now I don't normally use other tactics, but saw this and as it had been designed for Spurs thought I would have a look and see if there was something obvious I was doing wrong. Thought I'd give it a few games as my next game was Fulham at home so didn't think it was fair to go on a win here as a result, but.........BANG.....just suffered my worst ever defeat on any CM/FM game 8-1!!!! However I do look to take positives, and I feared I hadn't strengthened the defence, so I know what I will be doing coming the next transfer window, so thanks, but no thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
