Evening @knap -
What tactic would you recommend for Villa? I'm really struggling to find one that fits. Their starting squad appears suited for a 41221 formation with either IF or Wingers.

I've searched for downloadable content, but can't seem to find any. Does anyone have a link, or know where I can download club badges - especially for the English Premier League.
Cheers

Good Morning @knap I've just started a Ferguson Challenge and ended up with Aston Villa. Decent first XI, but lacking with cover/quality up front so need to rely heavily on Ollie Watkins for the rest of the season. Can you recommend a 1 up top formation for a team predicted to fight relegation?
Cheers

Morning all,
Had a look at the google sheet that contains all of Knaps tactics. Any recommendations on one to use with a Villa save?

@knap Black Echo seems to have done the trick. Couple of games for the players to adjust, but it's really turned my season around.
1-0 Loss at Burnley was me going back to my old tactic. Changed it back and...well as you can see, things are going well. I might even make a late(ish) claim for the PL title for the second season running.

BLACK ECHO 4411 is usually recommended. Also try Kashmir P101 (drop an AM in PF slot if needed) as very attacking and the AI may be more defensive..
@knap thanks mate, will give them a go.
EDITED - My Brain hurts and can't find the ones you recommended. Don't suppose you have the ID numbers to hand?

@knap Yeah I used Parisienne Walkway for a couple of games - Scraped a 1-0 win at home to Soton and lost 2-1 at Preston.
I'll give 4411 a go. Use your google docs to find one that'll suit?

Hi all,
Need a bit of advice if I may. 5th season with Villa. Won the Premier League and Champions League last season, which is about 3-4 seasons earlier than I expected! I've also listed the UEFA Cup during my reign. TeaForOneVOL34321OXTHp98CC has served me grand for 3 seasons now. Below is my team, squad and overall happiness which I think is pretty good. This season I appear to be struggling massively, and can't put my finger on. lost 3 out of 5 league games and really struggling to put chances away.
I've got some cracking players who ripped teams apart last season, with most being there for 2+ years. Transfer market this summer was focused on youth as my intake is pretty poor season by season. Only players i sold that were an influence were McGinn and Rahman, but still a good core of players remained for the hierarchy of the squad.
Any tips or ideas from you fine FM players? Just can't seem to get a tune out of them this season at all.

TEA FOR ONE Uro 4231 P100 EC CC working well on new save. Gameweek 19 hit top of the table. This was supposed to be slightly more challenging
.
That's the tactic I'm using in my Villa save. Finished 5th in my second season. Currently 4th with 1 game to go. Was in the hunt for the Prem final, but lost my last 2. I am in the UEFA Cup final as well though. Solid tactic

Knap 4231 tweak.
Hope knap doesn't mind me posting here but it is basically his tactic and I didn't think it warranted a separate thread>
ive being using knaps tea for one 4231, and while it was good it had some faults.My tweaks were to change to a short slow passing game but not tic tac.
Change mentality to positive. This suits a passing game more, stops my wb from making stupid runs, lowers balls over the defence, and most of all STOPS LATE GOALS. I never change to attacking even when losing and still have faith ill score.
Tweaked Inside forwards to play narrower, and I play narrower overall.
Made my DLP play more direct passing
Added attack set piece called Goalmachine from Steam, and added my own defending setpiece that has never conceded a goal apart from in multiplayer where the opponent used goal machine. Also tweaked def set pieces.
WB play wider.
My best result was beating Chelsea with an edited blackburn team 5-1. My team is probably on par with Bournemouth. This tactic also beats big teams.
Kept all roles same as knap. I tried attacking mids, inside wingers, but the roles knap has chosen cant be bettered.
I have never lost with this tactic tweak in 2 days. Ive drawn a few but never lost.
Interesting stuff. Your tweaks may...just may work with my stumbling Villa side. Is this with the current ME?

Anyone got any suggestions for playing away from home? I use Parisienne Walkway WSSVol2-4231. Finished 12th with my Villa side which was ok(ish). At home I was overall 5th in the table, Away I was 19th lol. Only won twice on the road and tried all manner of things...
Dropped offside trap
Played Cautious/Balance/Mixture depending on game/opposition.
I have the SUS all sorted I just can't seem to do anything decent away from Villa Park.
Also, anyone finding it really frustrating that as soon as you score, you tend to concede a goal almost immediately! Maybe it's just my average Villa side and their concentration span of a potato.

Hi @knap Not one to normally post such things but really struggling with my Villa side! Still in the first season and struggling for goals and getting Grealish and McGinn to perform! Any recommendations for tactics to use? I'm on the updated ME.

Tweaked a little bit :
No more Get Stuck In
Higher defence line
Narrow Def
Positive Mentality all games
Star, cheers mate. I'm on the latest DB update so will look for a 20.4 alternative and play around with it.

TEA FOR ONE 442 P101 FA
LoL
I know they had a red card ... but come oooonn
That's impressive. As a Villa fan I rarely play as any other team as it doesn't feel right! I find it incredibly difficult in FM20 with the squad they have, so thumbs up mate.
I may have to give that tactic a go. How are you doing overall?
0 -
Hats off to you mate. As a life long Villa fan myself, I feel the pain and heart ache you've endured. I've tried what must be 6 Villa saves and struggle on every one. Was going to give it another go when the transfer patch hits and I have some spare time on my hands.
I look forward to seeing what you do in the summer transfer window and how you progress in season 2.

What can I say @knap. Just finished my first season with Villa (takes me a while as family life gets in the way). Only went and won the PL title in my first season! Unbelievable achievement! Snatched it on the last day of season with us finishing on 83 Pts along with Man U & Liverpool. +60 goal difference as well!
I ended up using the KashmirKnap 4123P107.
Fantastic tactic and can't wait to take Villa into the Champions League!
