[Mr Hough 10.3 Tactics]

Just a quick follow on from my post #631. Online with Toulouse in Feb 2010 I am 4 points clear at the top of Ligue 1, lost to Bordeaux 1-0 in the semi final of the League Cup, still in the French Cup, qualified through my Europa League group with 6 wins against Aston Villa, Valencia & BATE and Gignac has scored 31 goals in 30 appearances. The best online tactic I have ever had the fortune to use - thanks.

I have also used the tactic in 1P mode with Toulouse and won the Ligue 1 title and the Europa League double.

Using this tactic in an online game with Toulouse.

Drew 1-1 away to Nancy (89th minute penalty for them) in the first game, beat Aston Villa 3-0 at home, drew 1-1 with Lyon away, beat Valencia 3-1 away then beat Le Mans 3-1 at home.

Tactic looks to be bedding in nicely.

Can anyone suggest a good deep lying forward that doesn't cost too much? I have Gignac as Adv Forw and Djalo as Poacher but I'm looking to strengthen the middle position. At the moment I rotate between Kazim-Richards and Carbonnier but if someone could suggest a decent striker I would be most grateful.

[** Tylerbode's Head start on FM10 **]

I have started a game with Albacete in the Spanish first division and have been using version 2 of the tactic. I am currently sitting in second place at the start of December which is way beyond the board's expectation of a mid table finish.

I have had a few random 4-0 and 5-0 defeats but I am putting this down to the AI cheating with the likes of Zaragoza and Celta Vigo. In one game I lost a goal because their winger crossed the ball along the byline and instead of my keeper saving it he was knocked off his feet and scored an OG - unbelievable.

Tylerbode, playing in this league the defenders that I can afford do not have that great pace or acceleration and I believe that my heavy defeats have come when playing against strikers with genuine pace on long pitches. Can you suggest a tweak that I can introduce when up against this scenario as I don't just want to drop the Defensive Line in case my defence and midfield become too far apart.

A top tactic - many thanks. Look forward to seeing what improvements you come up with.
