In January I got Ikpeazu from the Hearts - he saved my ass

Scotland too here - 8th place with Ross County and they are really hard to manage.

Nils Quaschner from Bielefeld - 10-15 goals in Bundesliga for my Magdeburg team and hunting down the enemies.

There is no really chance to get your "superstar" there I think. In a classic 4-2-3-1, the players with the best stats are the AMR / AML, because they have the space they need...my AMC position gets his chances for assists and goals, too, but the glory old time of "10s" is over. So my AMC is important for my pressing, my first defender who attacks the deep playmakers of the enemy.

Third year - we're still rocking and there are still two players from the beginning in the third league in our starting eleven - the "double 6", Preißinger and Rother.

Da musst du auch nicht großartig im Netz suchen - rechts neben dem Spielerbild sieht du in einem Auswahlmenü die Grundeinstellung bzgl. der markierten Attribute, und dort wird bestätigt was du hier richtigerweise vermutest: die grau hinterlegten Attribute sind wichtig, die blauen "wünschenswert".

We won the league with 84 points. Second year - second promotion, 2nd place in Zweite Bundesliga with 72 points. Fantastic! Hello Bundesliga, the only winner of an international competition in GDR's history (Cup Winners' Cup 1974) is giving his debut.

Haha...or an online save and destroying the league^^

Wow. Really great tactic, thank you! Most goals (38), least conceded (8), most clean sheets (14), 57% Avg. Possession (3rd), 85% passing accuracy (3rd), 88% tackling completion (3rd)...with a team which was 6th in the season preview (Odds 6,00). Playing a wonderful football even now with the "vanilla team"...I'm looking forward to the action with better players.

Fantastic post AceAvenger! I´ll try to awake another fallen East-German giant - Magdeburg is calling.

Thanks a lot again...I'll try it in a new save. A Half Back instead of the DMde would gain a little bit more defensive stability, or? Toonrock: I think my team is not good enough for super-gegenpress. But perhaps it will be it in a few years.

Okay, thank you. Would a simple change in the CM - CMa to the left position, DLPSu to the right - solve this problem? Simplifying the TIs like you said makes sense...whats about my Defensive Line? Is a high one okay with CDs which only have Pace 10-11? I'm afraid that a standard line will give the opponent too many shots from the distance - and these are very dangerous in this FM. Frukox: thank you too - I will try a counter tactic like this vs. the teams from Glasgow, which seem to play two leagues above us.

Hey, whats wrong with my tactic? I'm managing Ross County, standing on the last place with 17 points after 21 games...12:37 goals...is it the tactic? The bad team? The bad manager? They want 8 points in the next 5 matches, otherwise I'll be sacked... PI: only close down more for the front four

Looks fine. I´m testing it with Hoffenheim - from the beginning a good team for this tactic. Robert Skov ist great as WP, strong strikers (Kramaric, Belfodil, Dabbur), hard working midfield (Samassékou, Geiger, Rudy)...I´ve won the first four games (A-4:0 vs. an underdog in the cup, H-2:0 vs. Leverkusen (!), A-4:0 vs. Union, H-1:0 vs. Wolfsburg) in a really beautiful way.

What do you think about this one? PI: CD "Take fewer risks" Front four "Close down more" The left is too wide open...isn´t it? I thought that the DLP will help here but maybe it´s not enough...
