What tactic did you use last year and have you tried this in FM 20. Can therefore compare to the tweaked tactics.

I used the 4132 and I ended up 3rd with a very average qpr side losing in playoff final but I think if I’d used the tactic from the off I would gone up

With Andy Carroll as 2nd striker that is a decent result.

Yeah not bad considering he was in the lower red for the AF position. I signed Mariano from Real Madrid in Jan but he has hardly set the world on fire.  Joelinton did very well too.  St Maximin and Almiron turned out to be very effective wingers (Almiron quickly retrained as an ML) and Shelvey was outstanding in the DLP role.

Only 2 things I found not so good with the tactic was that the wingers would dribble to the touchline then veer towards goal and then try to score from a ridiculous angle rather than squaring the ball to the strikers though that could be an ME problem.  The other thing was that I tended to get done defensively with balls over the top but again that could be an ME issue and also a lack of pace from my CB's.  It may be worth you watching the games for while @knap to see if you get the same issues as described here and what could possibly be done to tweak it.

I have been taken over at Newcastle and have £57 million to spend for next season so I will see if I can buy pacier CB's to see if this can combat the balls over the top.

All in all, I was very impressed with this tactic particularly for a squad like Newcastle's.  I will keep you posted as to what happens in Season 2.

Thanks again for the tactic @knap

ME and AI tactics defensive intelligence cause these problems. Because one v ones are so bad balls OTT are not an issue. The risk reward is for attacking and high line

Having just signed Mason Greenwood and Jadon Sancho at Spurs, I'd be keen to test out a formation with 2 strikers.  442 sounds like it could suit, with Son on the left, Sancho on the right, Celso, Ndombele or Ali in the middle.  Kane and Greenwood up front.

Is there a tweaked version of 442 doing the rounds?  Or is there a formation anyone else would recommend?

With Spurs in FM 19 Ihe most successful tactics were 343 IF and 4132 but with an AP instead of CM.

There are tweaked tactics for 4132 and 442 but they are not fully tested so best to use FM 19 version and then try tweaked.

The FM 19 tactics have been tested over numerous games compared to tweaked tactics and most of them still work in FM 20.

The tactic I used with Spurs was the Matiz AP tweak.

343 IF is not on recommended list but FM 20 version is posted above.

Hi Knap,

 

I have been a CM'r since the first edition back in the 90's. Have been a casual gamer at best for the last few years. Would be very interested to test your tweaked 442 if you don't mind. I'll make an effort to get into the game again after a few years away, and an effective good old 442 would certainly help me get going again.

 

Cheers!

Thanks Knap.  Will try Matiz now.

Seems to be a hang over from FM19 then @knap :lol:

Having said that, I witnessed Joelinton on 1 occasion on FM20 being put through one and one and he rounded the keeper and scored.  I have never seen that happen in FM19! So an ever so slight improvement on one on ones :D

Forgot to also mention that on numerous occasions, it was 4 attackers vs 2 defenders against me also.   Again could be an ME thing

If you have 2 attacking WBs (Lpool in RL) then Attacking IF/Ws will be behind in space with then a AMC and ST attacking MC and WB and then a major overload, but also a huge risk. There was a discussion about when 1 WB attacks the other defends or a MC will fill in as a defender which is more defender intelligence. Although MC and Lpool tend to be open at back but prefer more aggressive attacking. I always considered the Fergie MU was so dominant was due to the attacking nature of the tactics home and away.

To quote myself: do anyone of you nice fellow FM'ers have Knap's tweaked 442, and would you be so kind as to send it to me for testing? Been away from FM for a few years (registered here in 2000..), and would love to give it a whirl with West Ham to see if it can perform better than Pellegrini's approach IRL.

It's up to knap to share as it is his tactic.  If he wanted it widely available, I am sure he would have posted it on this forum.  PM him and ask.

So it seems 442 is still alive for FM20. I was waiting for the new tactics to be released before purchasing but I may just give the beta a try now.

Of course I know that the full release could change these results drastically but for now seems all is well.  

Will give the 109Pts a go in Lower League tomorrow and I will post results in here.
