Jamieac Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Result since plugging in new Sympathy. Most the goals I am conceding are from Set pieces, Freekicks/Short Freekicks/Corners etc...which is pretty annoying. Not sure if it's the quality of my team or just being punished for the amount of fouls the tactic gives away, but they just switch off at set pieces.

SteveUK Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) So i am using Pilgrimage tactic, and i just got a corner, the ball goes in and gets cleared to the number 11 for Chelsea who runs 1v1 on my keeper, it's off side right? Edit, ah of course it's because he's in his own half, nevermind.. Going to need to edit the corner routine to have a player stay back haha.

Lloydey1 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I have been looking for a tactic with one up top, AMR/L and MC plus DM (so the MC can be creative/attacking). I was using Davy’s tactic pre testing with some success (but scraping wins not playing superbly well and against top clubs it wasn’t defensively sound) and have just come across 451 Preachin Blues which looks great and ranks well in tests. I am starting a new save with Man Utd. A few questions re adjustments to Preachin blues for Knap if that’s ok- 1. I have used Rashford to great effect as a IF but on At duty - views on that? 2. I like that you have a CM A and MeZ S - the latter I plan to fill with a Bruno Fernandes. The former I will use Pogba for but he is better as a AP A. How much difference would this make (as both attack duty)? I am guessing a CM is more defensive than a AP even on A duty? On my prior save on Davy’s formation my favourite part was the AP A and MeZ S combo which led to Pogba getting 20 goals, perhaps as an offset reduce the DM to D rather than S i guess this sounds like simple tweaks but I don’t want to mess up the way the tactic fits together 3. In reality can I change the PF to AF - and up their pressing urgency. I am basing this on Martial/Rashford being good AF but less at PF (as a side note would be interested to hear how you use the role suitability on your saves as many of your formations have MR and ML and also MC where there can be difficulty finding a player “green” for that role - do you just ignore and play someone good (eg Salah on your recent Liverpool save) in MR/L and basically they act as AMR/L)?

bestfootie Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) Wow. Thanks to @knap who has been super helpful in helping me understand the table, let me share the following. I'm West Ham and tried numerous formations. Couldn't win in 5 games, form nosedived. Then, I understood that West Ham are defined as 'sub mid'. So first of all filtering the version to the correct one (I think this makes a difference), I then used the Google Sheets table @knap has been developing and I filtered it down that the best tactic might be to try Venom and Faith. Here's my result just now against Villa with zero training on tactics as I didn't have time. Thanks so much !!! I'm happy now! Made my evening! Let's hope West Ham can kick on (in real life too or Moyse can be replaced by me !) :-) Edited January 9, 2020 by bestfootie adding photo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
