My balanced Plug & Play Tactics for new players

[madmike]

I just wanted to share some formations I have used over the last few versions of FM that are balanced and a good starting point for anyone struggling or looking for somewhere to start.  They generally use the Pairs and Combinations approach and are 5 star on this site - Rate My Tactic  (Disclaimer - This site is not perfect but is a good guide, along with the fantastic Pairs and Combinations thread on this site)

Are they exploitive - No

Are they Balanced - Yes

Will you win every game - No

Do they work - Absolutely

 

I have tested these over various levels with success in the long run.  I hope this will help some people and give them a starting point.

 

My personal favourites are the 442 & 4231, they don't have to be used on positive that's just my preference.  I am not a fan of exploitative tactics and styles with every single Team Instruction selected.  Try and keep your team instructions to 1 or 2 for each section that compliment each other....

I hope this helps someone.
