Nothing changed on the goalie. Just went through and compared my tactic to the original, can't see anything else I have changed apart from what I mentioned.

The tweak is here, I've also enclosed some screen shots of my progress :-)

edit: One other thing I do is to leave the match prep on Defensive Positioning (average) all season.

Anybody else testing this version? I was using the 4-2-3-1 Ballista with good success but like everyone else found the defence to be too leaky. I have only used the defensive version for a few matches and I am still undecided. We are fluid on everything except Mentality which is still Awkward. I think this explains why we are still leaking goals and our passing often hits the backs of our own players. I will update once all is fluid and we have played a few more games.

I've had great success with the Balista with my Tottenham side. So much so that it's actually boring now. My latest result was beating Man Utd 8-1 at home, and whilst a great result, it's just silly. I'm first in the league, and I've scored double the amount of goals than the 2nd placed team. This is a great tactic - although you definitely ship goals - but it's just TOO good for me to keep using...

Sadly though I rush through seasons, I don't have time to fanny about and watch games to see if my tactics are working (they weren't so I had to use the Balista) so not quite sure what to do next!

4231!

The current league:

Although this tactic does ship goals - my centre backs are aged 21 and 20. My right back is only 22 and my left back 26. So it's a young defence so I know in the future it will be far tighter.

My results:

The 3 games I lost I was playing virtually entirely my youth team so it didn't surprise me.

So yep... too easy now..!

Very good tactic craig. With Juventus, i win the Calcio, 34W and 2L only ! Matri score 54 goals, Vucinic 32 and Del Piero also 18 and 48 assissts for Eljero Elia. Do you reccomended the balista's tactic for the big matchs, as exemple against Inter or Milan ?

Have you tried the 41122 Optimus? I am now using it and the defence is better than 4231 Ballista and the 2 strikers are also scoring loads.

WOW! Didn't realise how good the 4222 tweak was. Definitely the best 424 going atm! (Other than Fuss', that is!)

I will bother to upload screens if people want to see them. Im managing man utd!

The optimus tactic is good, i used it for a season. But tbh, it does heavily rely on corners to score the first goal, before the tactic becomes effective during the game. I'm not saying it isn't a good tactic, but for me it would be a back up tactic, as I don't really like the style of play.

Been using the 4-2-3-1 as my "Home tactic" and Marcelo's Fuss tweaked as my away tactic to devastating effect.

Usually always keep it on defensive positioning as I have full confidence in my ability to at least score one goal regardless of the opponent, its my defence that lets me down. So defensive positioning to at least attempt to cut down the goals I leak, end of the day 1-0 is still 3 points, but both these tactics always seem capable of scoring 4-5 aha..

I must say that this plan is not the idea itself. By this plan, the team championship in LEEDS UNITED turns out that the shift to lead his team to move. Mien Phi is. it's a lot. The plan is taken from you. Qetesh. 4-2-3-1. Balista. years of the team. table. of goalscoring. plans to play Final FA CUP against liverpool. year two of the team. table. formation. FA to man city. Championship Euro cup vs paris.

4-2-3-1 Balista is amazing, just took Stafford Rangers through consecutive promotions to the Premiership and won it in the first season, albiet with just 79 points (fortunately it was a very tight race for the title). Probably the best alround 12.1.1 tactic I've used although I love the new Il Devasto if you have the players for it.

4231 Balista never fails for me lol.Got again some incredible results starting again as Norwich(with signings of course), now i decided to play more than 1 season and this is my results so far.

1st season was 7th place with Malonga best scorer scoring 35 goals and Osvaldo Martinez(AMC role) top assists with 20.

In conclusion this tactic is awesome,results back this up,useless to say more about how good is this tactic.Players from attack AML,AMR,AMC and especially striker are overperfoming imo because my main striker Malonga won golden boot 2 years in a row even from season start as Norwich.Defense is leaky(this can be solved with better defenders,goalkeeper by improving team as passing time and also by preparing match preparation for defensive positioning or defensive set pieces) but overall attack will reward much more and will give better results than any defensive tactic or so called balanced tactic,u just need to have a stomach for results as 0-4 3-5 etc from time to time and this if u play with a mediocre team in,In case u play with a top team(M Utd,Barcelona etc) u will just crush everything.

The way to go in fm2012 it seems is to attack,it will reward you more even as small team and parking the bus tactics doesnt work so well because bigger teams will crush you anyway and u loose very much from offensive threat wich will encourage opossition atack u even more(ai updates his tactic every minute like a maniak).

for these 2 tactics, what is the recommended additional focus area? and any other specific settings, notes?

41122 Optimus

4231 Balista

At start of the pre-season doesn not matter what team i use team work very high. If i'm a poor team i put it on defensive positioning average . if you are top team eg Manchester United, Barcelona i use no specific average focus during the season.

I have come to the conclusion that the 4222 tweak is good for both home and away games. This means that a separate tactic must be used for finals of any competition. I would also use another tactic for away games against madrid/barcelona. Other than that i found the 4222 tweak to be pretty much unbeatable.

Scored 140+ goals in the league

Hernandez scored 90 goals in all comps

Rooney scored 51 goals in all comps

neymar scored 20 goals in all comps

damiao scored 20 in all comps

Modric got about 49 assists and my wingers neymar and di maria got 20+ or so assists aswell.

Won the league, fa cup, league cup, community shield, and champions league ( though i used W4nker's tweak of Hough rolls back the years for the champs league final)

Yes my team is strong, because I am well into my career. Anyone who is looking for a good 4222 for top teams, this is one of the good ones. Going to try other 4222's now so i can compare.
