I just changed the defending corner routine to: DR: Mark Far post DCs: Mark Tall DL: Mark Near Post Everyone else: Mark Small Player Havent conceded from a corner since.

Zico10 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hey Zico10, please make another 343 I loved your formation on Fm11 :-) Hi madmike, I'm extremely disappointed with SI mate, I haven't been able to motivate myself with this Match Engine. I've got quite a few tactics on the back burner, but just testing out of curiosity. Year in, year out and no progress with the ME even though the tools are available to develop it much further from this pre-historic phase. As you know, I'm a fan of back 3 tactics and imo this FM version went backwards compared to FM2011 and FM2010 when it comes to back 3 with wing backs. A massive let down. Take care Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMan Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Went unbeaten in all competitions with my United save in 2016/2017. Just drew 4 games in the league. Used mostly the press but the stand off for some of the away games against bigger teams although usually found myself switching back to press before the game was over. I've won everything in a season a few times my first I won all 4 trophies last season I won all 6 aswell and the season before i won all 4 but this is my first season going unbeaten. I was afraid I might mess up my run changing tactics but this has made my team even better. Great tactic. I'll stick to this one instead of the various edit ones.

Collzy Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Hey guys, haven't posted in a while, been taking a break haha. Just started as my hometown, Brighton, and doing brilliant. Top of the table so far including a 2-1 win over Wolves (LFC Marshalls update) This tactic has been brilliant for me at all levels with all clubs, signed Mpeza to rotate with Mackail-Smith and they've both been scoring for fun. I'll update in January to show any more progress that's been made but at the moment it's still the best tactic on this forum, it's even made Brightons very shaky defence reasonably solid!

In pre-season I generally create an away friendly, a tour, a cup, and then a home friendly, this is 7 friendlies + 1 against the reserves. That on very high + no specific focus has generally got it up quite far before the season starts. I also start the game a month before, for example, England start in July, so I'll start in June. Gives an extra month to learn it in training or more friendlies etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swedishchef_uk Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I'm still using this tactic with Aldershot. As mentioned in my last post, I have removed the corner exploit, but otherwise it's the same. Following promotion last season from league 2, I have just won league 1 at the first attempt (prediction would have been to be relegated I'm sure) with 2 games to spare. I'm not against the corner exploit per se, but I have enjoyed seeing how my mixed delivery settings have worked. I tend to have more success with my defenders at the far post, but still get the odd near post goal and some from a good old fashioned scramble. Setting it on mixed does give a bit of variety and allows me not to inflate one players goals too much - for me this offsets the fact that I know I've lost out on some goals scored. The strikers all scored well, with midfield chipping in now and then. The one element I would point out is that it is worth checking the strikers marking instructions now and then. The tactic is set up so that the wide strikers man mark the fullbacks - however at some point in the season (perhaps when I tweaked the corner setting again) this seems to have been lost and instead when I pause in match and check, the strikers are just on default man mark but with no player/position selected. If anything, this may push them more into marking the centre backs. I've tried to re-save to keep the instructions in, but can't seem to get it to work. So now I just start the match, pause and re-add the instructions at the start. Cumbersome, but it does the job. I'm still not sure how they got lost - but it did coincide with a small drop in form, so always worth a check. I have kept a flat 4-3-3 to change the formation now and then, but have rarely used it. I've also run this in the lower Brazil leagues with less success. I'm still doing ok, but miss out on promotion and the tactic struggles a little against the heavy defensive formations used there. I suspect I'm still batting above my average - but with a club in debt, no real income to help and no possibility to improve facilities, it is a struggle. But I'll persevere - although may need to mix a winger tactic into the mix when faced with a box formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottybee Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Well, although I hate myself for downloading it (I've never used someone else's tactic since my days as a naive teenager playing Championship Manager) I have to say it's exactly what I was after for this save. Just wanted a nice, easy going 'fun' save as the end of fm2012 draws nigh and fm 2013 gets ever closer...so far in 4 games with Peterboro- P'boro 4 - 0 Watford P'boro 6 - 1 Morecambe Ipswich 0 - 2 P'boro P'boro 3 - 0 Leeds I signed Amara Diané on a free as the central striker, and he's amazing. Scored 5 goals in 3 league games and only 1 from a corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommonufc Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Quite a bit; enough for it to be noticeably different, but not enough that I would take credit for it becoming a new tactic. The main difference would be for it to incorporate three attacking midfielders in my side - with Ramsey, Wilshere and Thiago being my first choice midfield three. Therefore have made it a flat midfield three, with the central cm having his forward runs restricted. All of these three have been encouraged to run with the ball, and play as many through balls as possible. Have done similar tweaks to the full backs, they've been aloud to go forward - so the side will now often attack as an eight, with only the two center backs left back - so very attacking. Despite this, as you can see, haven't conceded too many goals this season. Often the team will hoof the ball clear for either center back to head away, very rarely are a side able to construct a move that really exposes me on the break due to the pressing action. I've increased the tempo as well, to play as quick. It doesn't make for the best style of football, and when played with two center backs such as Alex Song and Varane, both of whom are allowed through balls, it can lead to somewhat route one style of football - but invariably it'l see something like three passes to the forwards from which an attack will be constructed. Something that I've also made for, is that the three central midfielders are set to 'move-into-channels' - this discourages the full backs just hoofing it forward with such a quick tempo, meaning that a center mid will come wide for a simple forward ball when the ball is played out to the full backs from the forwards - from which they are in perfect place to slip a through ball into the channels of the forwards - so really simple football. Like I say, I haven't overhauled the tactic so much that it's totally different that it could be deemed 'mine' so to speak, just added a changed a few things that have worked for me.
