Kraiden Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) I did not play FM20 or FM19 but came back this year to FM21 and I notice that all the popular tactic makers and tactics that are posted on various websites that do well have atleast these settings * Much higher line of engagement * Standard defensive line (or higher, never lower) * High tempo (Most of them) This is true for all teams, be it elite, top, sub-top or relegation teams. All tactics that do well have a very high line of engagement and never lower than standard defensive line. There's a reason why knap and some other popular tactic makers never use a low-block tactic. The ME or AI is flawed. Relegation teams cannot even win with low blocks, only with high up engagements and pressure, it's really unrealistic. I would have loved to play a Mourinho/Simeone style tactic but it's just not successful on this FM sadly. If anyone found something what works, and don't come with a Liverpool tactic because that's a bad example, everyone knows Liverpool is a very easy team to play with. Take a sub-top, mid or relegation team and use it on those. Everyone on this iteration of FM is playing like Klopp, doesn't matter if your team is 18th prediction or top 3 prediction, the ME is flawed sadly. Low block is dead.

-Jef- Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Low block doesn't mean much lower defensive line. Can play low block with higher defensive line and standard LOE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoSpecialOne Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Low Block is far from dead in this game. There's even a current thread by Rashidi that deals with such systems here. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamb00zle Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Completely disagree I'm getting much more out of lower LOE and standard D line. I even do lower D line and much lower LOE against better sides and I'm winning games against them. So it's not broke in any way 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
