petersmithie Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Are wingerless tactics essentially useless this time round? I would appreciate any tips/hints on how I could improve my wingerless tactics. I used to like to set my base of three cb's and two wbs. I then used to experiment with the rest of the formation (i.e. DM, CM or ST) e.g. 2 ST's, 1 AMC, 2 MC or 1 ST, 2 AMC, 2 MC or 1 DM, 2MC, 1 AMC, 1 ST or 3 MC, 2 ST etc I am not sure if I am preferring a normal back for with 2 DM's this time round....

Berbatov Rooney Matias Fernandez Carrick Diarra Veloso Evra Vidic Ferdinand Neville Foster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
petersmithie Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 interesting, you are of course man utd. Could you play a couple of games with it and let us know how it goes? My longest streak so far in 2009 is not losing in 4, and winning two of them (1-1, 4-0, 0-0 and 5-1) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeeman27bob Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I'm planning to go for a wingerless 4-3-2-1 formation with Liverpool. I think the Key will be making sure all your players are doing the right tasks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are screenies in there but not sure how 2 upload the tactic. Ive played more games since then though and only lost 2. Against liverpool in league cup and 1-0 to everton in the league (offside). Had some high scored though. Check it out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevoRobbo Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Has anyone noticed that his original tactic comprises of 12 players? If your talking about my team Matias Fernandez is 1 player.

Joor Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I use a 4321 or 4312 but in the demo its really horrible when the opponent attack down the flanks or if they play heavy defence + timewasting all 90 min.

the--dud Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I'd have to disagree with people saying 3 MC's doesn't work... On all my demo saves I've played the following: GK, a flat 4-man back line, 3 MCs (middle one actings very defensively), 1 AMC, 2 strikers. This has worked really well, but obviously depends on your team and players. Eg, managed to be top of EPL with Man City at the end of demo(not that difficult with £100m budget but still), 3rd in La Liga with Villareal and Valencia, good mid-table position with Souchaux in Ligue 1. I have noticed that my outer MCs seems to get a bit tired, but just get MCs with good Stamina/Natural Fitness, or make some substitutions. IRL, you'll often find that MCs are the players that covers the greatest distance anyhow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dankrzyz Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Does the "3 MCs" problem still exist in FM09? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abojep Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 dankrzyz, to some extent. It is still far too easy to concede with no wingers and your attack can struggle finding space, however it has been improved massively. That being said, you should still be able to create a successful tactic with no wingers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
