Knap - FM24 and FM23 FM22_FM 21 - FM 20 -FM 19 Tactic List

[Spike]

Also noticed that a lot of opposition chances are created by simple balls over the top. Will dropping the DL affect the tactic?

What a beautiful 442! Love the more familiar roles of WB-Wingers-AF. Roles fits most players alot better in this one than in the 4132 generally. Going with this one for next season.

[Dreambuilder]

FInished another season with sub top/underdog IFK Gothenburg. Made it to CL group stage where we finished 3rd. Pleased. Two rotated squads A-team and B-team, both filled with alot of hot prospects with high PA. Started with Knap's 5-3-2 but switched to latest Knap 4132 again, p102 then P106. Knap 442 tactic next season. 3rd screenshot shows how green and well my players will fit the roles in 442 som I'm really excited now for the next season.

Not aware of any exploits this year so far, but you may prefer SPs with unplugged tactics. I would try the version you used last year as may still work. If so post the results and I will try and tweak for 20.2/

Thanks for your reply!

just noticed with Bolton i score from many throw ins into box, which is cool for my level atm. But it seems pretty well rehearsed if you know what i mean😀

SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL

 

442 (4222) Sympathy for the Devil (Top sub top underdog)

FM20SympathyforthedevilKnapZaipLeipzig.fmf44.

 

Recently finished a full watched season of the tactic above as Arsenal in 20.2 with no incoming transfers (Mesut Özil loaned to Manchester United for the season).

Almost a clean sweep. The Carabao Cup final was lost to one of those inspiring half-time team talks according to the news.

Quite a few draws that could easily have been wins. Arsenal were ahead in the majority of them, including throwing away a 4 goal lead in one game.

Nelson and Saka did well on the wings despite still developing, as with the WULF 4132 in the previous patch. The standout being Aubameyang who was impressive all season (high win bonuses motivated him, not sure how big an effect that had).

    

Long Throws

Before this career I managed a season on a tweak of this tactic in the previous version of the game, mostly in Extended Highlights. There would be around 4 or 5 events a game involving the long throws but the majority of them didn't lead to much; sometimes an offside from knock on, sometimes the opposition would break from them and get a good chance against me. Here and there they worked out, sometimes directly, sometimes forcing fouls in the box, but overall they didn't feel that effective and I began to feel the instructions might not help the tactics performance.

In this career, watched only on Key, they definitely helped. Some were turned in directly, I saw more forcing penalties and there were games that were decided by them. That said, they were irregular - I could go for several games without them even featuring in the Key highlights, let alone impacting the game in a major way. So, not quite an exploit but still effective in my opinion - again, I'd recommend adding the instructions to the tactics that don't have them like the WULF 4132 and see if things change. I've looked around for stats relating to set-pieces in-game but could only find penalties.

Did you made any tweaks on tactic and can you share it with us?

It should be quoted and linked at the top of the post, but if it's not showing for some reason then the tactic is the first Sympathy 4222 on the front page (KnapZaipLeipzig).

I made no tweaks to the tactic, the only notes I'd make is that I played wrong-foot wingers and trained every player in the position/role I wanted them to play. Right-foot wingers might do better, I've not tried myself. Aubamayeng began as the Pressing Forward (Support) but shifted to the Advanced Forward (Attack) fairly early in the season, can't remember why I made that decision but probably Alex getting injured.

@knap what’s better the new 442 or the 4132

[NyanOverlord]

4231 seems to be working fine with the top side against everything but the other top sides, since they are way too clinical and can easily punish the leaky defence.

[steve dewilde]

Knap did you ve time to look at a new 4231?

i know you ve a lot of requests coming from everywhere..

Agreed this is a great tactic. I feel like there are quite a lot of balls played over the top so not for footballing purists but results very good so far.

I changed the corners to me own as I felt I was cheating the game a bit with too many goals from the corner set piece.

63 goals with just one penalty is nuts! I'm having success with the 4132 (two AF's) in lower leagues so both strikers tend to have similar chances and numbers (will post results  afterend of season), though I'd prefer having a single more specific goal scorer. You think the PF (s) + AF combo gets the AF more chances and goals? Also, wrong-foot wingers provide more through balls in your experience? Thanks!

Using Beowulf;

It's brilliant at home but not so great away as the last three PL games highlight perfectly;

Are there any complimentary tactics that are a bit more solid away from home?

[RasmusBolin]

Using the new 4-4-2 with Leeds and it works good but a bit frustrating that I conceede a goal almost every game, anything I can change to have more clean sheets?

Hi there @Skiinted 🤙🏼
Can you show to us your corner set up by posting SS? I apreciate that. And excelent results 

[Karlo]

@Spike

Use 'positive' mentality for away games. That helps me.

winger and forward and wingerbacks look like they need improvements

Who takes your corners? Just curious cause I'm yet to score from a corner since using this tactic.

[knap]

Takers are set up so by position not by player.

Not from his testing. Only 22 conceded in 38 games makes in average kinda of 0,6 goals conceded / game.. Perhaps you have bad or slow defenders?

Testing has slowed to a crawl but hopefully will speed up soon.

[knap]

Drop the DL LOE and mentality until more secure.

 

[knap]

Also once the automated testing starts there should be home and away spilt.

[gazzahutc]

what tactic would be good for scottish underdog?
