[Mr Hough 10.3 Tactics]

In my opinion 2 DMs and 2MCs in the same formation wont work because they are too close to each other. In defense they cover too little space for 4 and in offense the DMS have very limited passing opportunities and get low ratings. Also with no wide players at all the AI will leave their wingers and fullbacks forward all time with no defensive duty so they can score more easily.

The idea did work though iin old CM/FM games a few years ago but they added this wing exploit to the engine so now fullbacks are a must IMO.

[Mr Hough 10.3 Tactics]

Hi all,

I tested the latest version of this tactic with Derby for whole season.

I played them before and finished 7th in the Championship with stock 4-3-3 formation (changing the philosophy in-game using sideline instructions), default training, maximum pitch size and assistant team talks. I only signed a few pacey players on free or very cheap.

I replayed the same saved game from the beginning using the Mr hough tactic, the recommended training regime and team talks from the OP, minimum pitch, no ingame tweaking and signed a few players who all met the criteria for the tactic. I finished a disappointing 11th and although I hammered a few inferior teams I was generally outplayed against teams on or above my level. Many of my wins came from 1-2 goals from corners and without those I would have ended up much lower I guess.

All in all, I am not impressed but maybe I did something wrong (no idea what) because I can see there is a lot of very positive feedback for this tactic. Any suggestions are welcome, Thanks.
