Italia Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Updated the first post with additional tactic tips. NEW Tactic TIPS! If the team you are playing have a pitch width of 68m or below, then bring the width down to 1 notch below half and but 3 more notched on the tempo. Opposition Instructions: This is what I do, Midfielders to Attackers, including Wingbacks. I do everything to them, weaker foot, harder tackles and closing down always and tight marking. I do this for players on the bench also! For the defenders and goalkeeper, MAKE sure you put closing down as always, depending on who you are playing, you might want to show the right back and left back onto weaker foot, incase you play chelsea and they overlap with a cross ball.

iank38 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Does this tactic work with other top teams? eg; Arsenal, R Madrid, Barcelona, Roma etc. ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italia Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Does this tactic work with other top teams? eg; Arsenal, R Madrid, Barcelona, Roma etc. ? Yes, Of course. I should really change the title and not have Man Utd in it. It works with lots of different teams, the better the team the better it will work, lower league managers have been loving this tactic to avoid relegation also.

Italia Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Will it have negative effects on the gameplay if we do not tweak the tactics (including opposition instructions) even if we should? Nope, might only limit the oppositions attack a bit more. I have always done opposition instructions with this tactic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iank38 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Can you test this tactic without setting opposition instructions and will this tactic give a negative impact on the teams current performance if their morale is high, playing well, top of the league, scoring a lot of goals? (with the current tactic) I'm currently feeling pretty bored with my tactic it's winning everything for me and I want to consider trying out other tactics.

Changing a tactic is always better to do with high morale than low. I wouldn't use this tactic straight away if your next game is Chelsea or Arsenal away, that is being thrown in at the deep end. Any other game and use it. The tactic should be fine without setting opposition instructions but opposition instructions are part of the game.

gandycoleuk Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Started using this tactic after the Community Shield and it has been pretty effective. My record reads P10, W6, D3, L1, the problem is I haven't won an away game with this tactic (2 draws against Wigan and Fulham and the defeat against Sporting Lisbon). Done the bit of tweaking of team instructions as regards to pitch size but can't buy a win away (Fulham was extremely frustrating as I fought so much to be 2-1 up and they equalise in the 94th minute). But can't argue with the home record, winning 5 out of 6, keeping clean sheets in all the victories but drew late on against Liverpool with Keane scoring after 95 mins!!!!!!! I'll keep using this tactic though as it's the first one to work for me in FM09, think with a bit of experience I'll start to win more away games eh?

Yes, the more you use it the more your team adjusts to it etc. My results at the top of the first post show my first season, I lost 2-3 games before xmas, at the moment I am unbeaten in 48 league games and I am at February in the second season, obviously unbeaten throughout the second season. I will post my second season when I have finished, my aim is to go unbeaten throughout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old login got lost Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Very good tactic, I'm Barcelona and went 1200+ minutes without conceding at one point, mostly winning 1-0 and 2-0 with the occasional 0-0. Can result in too few goals on occasion, but 3-0 up against Chelsea in the CL semi and top of the league so it's been very good to me. Keita (on the left), Veloso, Xavi and Henry are standouts with Xavi's freekicks being a great weapon. We're winning a lot of penalties, too. Only drawback is that Eto'o doesn't seem to like it, but it's a team game and we're doing very well indeed. Thanks a lot for this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italia Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Great tactic! Just wonder where did you get the money from to buy such great players and still keep your squad together? Well, you get a considerable amount of money for winning a Treble, I think around £40 transfer budget. But I have sold a lot of big players, here are the ones I have sold: Players Out First season Carlos Tevez - £30 million Kuzcyack - £5 million Darren Fletcher - £24.5 million Michael Carrick - £22.5 million Park ji sung - £4.5 Million With that, added to the ask for more money at the beginning, I had £25 million + the above to spend. Second Season Owen Hargeaves £25.5 million Anderson £21.5 million Possebon £5 million Manucho £3.5 million Lee Martin £1.5 million Third Season Berbatov £17.75 million Henri Saivet £8.5 million Rafael £2.3 million Wes Brown £7.5 million Danny Simpson £5 million Total Sold= £184.55 Million Players In First Season Henri Saivet £6.5 million Fausto Rossi £4.5 million Gianluigi Buffon £44 million Beckham - free Lassana Diarra - £10.75 million Mario Balotelli - £14.5 million Transfer Budget, excluding sales = £24.5 million Second Season Eirik Minde - £4.5 million (world class regen ) Ignacio Camacho - £19 million Giovani Dos santos - £12.5 million Robinho - £41 million Kaka - £34.5 million Transfer Budget, excluding sales = £54.5 million Third Season Carlos Vela - £17.5 million Marting Galvan - £4.5 million Lionel Messi - £46.5 million 3 regens at £4 million each Total Transfer budget, excluding sales = £92 million Total Spent £272 million Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
