    Mr Hough 10.3 Tactics

    Posted

    Finished my season with the new tactic and finished 8th with Newcastle which I think is an achievement!

    If it wasn;t for my back 5 of: Krul, Taylor, Taylor, Collucini & Bouma I think it would have been much better!

    I scored the 3rd most goals in the premiership - although my goal difference was only 10+!

    Really looking forward to seeing how much money I get to help sort the defence out, as it's shambolic at the moment!

    I'm trialling the new tactic as we speak with Newcastle and it's very promising.

    Just beat Chelsea at St James' Park 3-2.

    The counter attacking is very fluid and very very effective.

    I suspect it would be even better if my 2 CB's were faster, and my forward line was quicker too - andy carroll ain't the quickest!

    I'll update after a few more games - as I've switched to this tactic 5 games ago, so it's going to get better the more the team get used to it.

    PS: Anyone else signed Eugene Selezynov?!

    Sometimes too if you start with a team like Spurs like I did - to generate cash I can get rid of players like bentley, lennon & rose as the tactic doesn't use wingers.

    They're short on CM's and strikers too, so more than 2 players are needed to start with a strong squad.

    I agree that the team needs to have a strong understanding - so if it's at the start of a season I'll play alot of friendlies in pre-season to make sure the players have played in about 10 games together before the start of the season.

    Even still it will take till early September until the team is properly gelled and generating results as it should from the tactic - that's normal though, I never expect things to work straight away and nor should anyone!

    jsolloso - just look at the screenshots of the C Palace game above... how you can say that this tactic doesn't work is an absolute mystery to me...

    That's WITH the points deduction they start with, and no corner cheat... most goals scored by about double, and 30+ goal difference ahead of any other team.

    I don't know what you have in your head to accept that a tactic is 'great' - but for me, that surpasses great - that's outstanding!

    Personally, I'm using the Beta Wizard tactic that Mr Hough is currently using as Palace, and I'm Fulham - 1st season, 3 signings: Djalo, Otamendi & Michel - and I'm 4th, just about to enter December - so it's doing great for me too, definitely surpassing my media prediction... which for me classes as great.

    Ok - here's my input.

    I'm using the Wizard style formation (because I don't like classic style ones) and have used it from my 4th game into the season in my 1st season as Liverpool... my only signings were Gamerini & Gago.

    League table at the end of the season: http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/6668/leaguetablew.jpg - as you can see, it scores a massive amount of goals!

    Torres (playing as the poacher) did well too: http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/2905/torresend.jpg

    I was stupid and sold Maxi Rodriguez in January for 20mill, and had to play n'gog for the rest of the season in the champs league - as Lukaku (Maxi's replacement) was unable to be registered - got knocked out by barcelona.

    With having a small squad, I played youth & reserves in both domestic cups, so Premiership was my only silverware.

    Veyr very very good tactic, best for FM10 I've used so far... and by quite a distance.

    Got 50M to spend carefully now...

    I'm using V6 and have Owen and Martins upfront for newcastle,,,neither have hit more than 14 goals a season,,both have the required attributes so how can i get the tactic to get them scoring more goals,,,,its embarresing for the forwards as colloccini has got 11 from central defence.

    Is it me or has fm 09 v9.3 made it impossible for the strikers to score a lot of goals

    I'm Newcastle and when I started, the first thing I did was sell Martins.

    If you look at the Original Post, you'll see the requirements for the FC's are:

    "Acceleration, dribbling, off the ball, first touch/flair/technique."

    Martins doesn't have good dribbling, or if I remember rightly - first touch. I don't think Owen's dribbling is too hot either - but I'm not at my laptop to check.

    I sold alot of my squad to make sure I had the stats EXACTLY as it says on the Original Post.

    I'm now in my 3rd season, 20 games in and I'm 7 points clear in the league, and not lost once in the Champions League.

    My current team:

    GK: Pele

    DR: Richards (Positioning not great but is doing well)

    DL: Molinaro

    DC: Taylor

    DC: Coluccini

    MR: Sanchez

    ML: Albin

    MC: Veloso

    MC: De La Red

    FC: Aquino

    FC: Marquinos

    Can't stress enough how important it is for them to have the right stats.

    In my opinion, it's better to have someone who has average (between 12-15) for all of the required stats on the Original Post than having someone that has 15 for most, but less than 10 for one or more - Martins is the perfect example.

    Hope that helps.

    Tyler,

    Now 20 games in, and sitting 3rd with Newcastle.

    Recent results since my last screenshots:

    Beat Liverpool 2-1

    Beat Stockport 3-0

    Beat Stoke 2-0

    Beat Wigan 3-2

    Beat Sunderland 2-0

    Lost to Arsenal in League Cup 3-2

    Beat Bolton 2-1

    Lost to Man City 1-0

    Beat Fulham 2-1

    Drew with Arsenal 1-1

    Beat Villa 2-0

    Drew with Hull 2-2

    Beat West Ham 2-0

    Beat Portsmouth 2-0

    Drew with Middlesborough 0-0

    My next game is Man Utd - so I'm looking forward to it! There is only 1 point difference between me and top so it's very tight!

    I tried the tactic with Chelsea last night and it didn't work as well, but mainly because I started that game with a 433 - so I sold my wingers... just goes to show how well each part of this tactic & the right players matter... maybe something that people say it doesn't work need to analyse?

    Tyler,

    Brief update for you - 3 more games, 1 loss at home to Man City where I was unlucky and 2 more victories in the Premiership.

    Still top of the league and morale is high.

    The OP now makes much more sense and if people follow that then they shouldn't have any problems.

    I'm going to be playing at a friends house tonight in a shared game we've had going for a couple of weeks and I'm Chelsea - I bought Vagner Love & Bojan so their ideal for the SC roles - so I'm expecting good things tonight! :-)

    Keep up the good work, your support for everyone is enviable.

    You've got the right idea there Mike. Well done with the transfers especially mate. Look forward to hearing you're progress. Thanks.

    Thanks mate - I simply followed your guide on stats in you OP.

    I figured following exactly what you state then realistically it should give me every chance of success.

    I think when you get people saying that it isn't working it may be a case of the players not having the right stats.

    For example: I sold Martins for 6mill, which is an exceptionally low price for him, but I wasn't bothered because he had very little matching stats for your recommendations for a forward - his technique and first touch are poor so he was never going to play, besides - it funded for other options.

    I'm comfortable with the first 11, as they all have the right stats - but didn't expect to be top after 5 games.

    Update: Before work this morning I slipped a quick game in and beat Wigan 3-2 away... coming back from 2-1 down. Excellent.

    As long as you have the right players, and keep on top of the teamtalks in the OP - things will happen.

    Firstly, the league after 5 games:
