P.S. Knap's 4132 P112 is so excellent that you can litteraly see the corrupted ME in action. This tactic provides so many chances for players.
I reviewed my loses in this season and I actually dominated in 80% of those matches. I had more shots on target, missed penalties, awkward one on ones, woodworks(!) a few red cards as well ...

I don't normally drop DL, as in theory AI will be more attacking and not looking for long balls. However, that would be situational and may require dropping LOE as well. I've not tried all the adjustments at same time, but all are defensive tweaks.
On second thought you are right. I'll keep my DL as it is, as I can still vividly remember opposition's last second goals when I changed DL.

You tell me.

@knap for SUS I use: NFB's, TW to maximum, defensive mentality, regroup, hold shape. I also set up DL to standard to prevent long passes over my defence. Is that ok?
There are also 4 roles which have Tackle harder fixed. When one of my players gets a yellow I usually set "Ease off tackles" but for those 4 roles I change roles as followed: PF to AF as they can have same PI's as PF's, and for DW I simply change them to WM and Ease off tackles. Is that ok?

It was going to be MARGATE this year, but I have had to twice uninstall FM so I will have to run the holiday man season again and see which team gets promoted.
I would probably use the 442 P109,but that was before the P112 No Loss. However I also have my classic Oxford 41221 Tactic.
Thanks, I'll try them. Good luck with your LLM challenge, keep us posted.

It has won PL and EC with Spurs and Arsenal.
Knap, you played with Billericay last year with ARGUS 343 which was best tactic in MR.L testing.
What tactic would you play with if you were to play with Billericay (LLM long save) in FM19?

@knap, can the tactic above be used with underdogs? The tactics with more points are usually better for top dogs, and vice versa (just look at Beowulf P103 for example).
This tactic has 112 points, however it has IWB's and DW's also hard pressing PF's which work very good with underdogs.
Hopefully this tactic is your best "allroad" tactic. You should test it with Spurs.

@knap do you have any 19.3.5 442 and 4141 tactic that uses IWB's?
I find using IWB's is more solid defensively for underdog teams than using WB's.

How glad I am to be back to playing with Knaps tactics.
After experimenting with some other forum tactics and having performance crisis with Roma, I switched to 442 106 allcups and 4411 108 allcups.
Against Juventus I decided to play with 4411 and only change the mentality to cautious. I can't remember the last time I beat Juventus away.
Thanks Knap for top tactics!

Knap, is there a reason why the strikers are positioned more to left in 442 SUS tactic?

Looks very promising. I will try it with Bayern.

What would AI do, if you put 3 attackers when they are taking corners? Is it even possible.
In FM17 or 18 I saw Rashidi video on youtube where he had one striker at center of the pitch ready to burst forward, and one player in opposition midfield (with good first touch, off the ball and passing) that catches the ball if it bounce of the corner, giving him chance to quickly pass to striker. Sometime it work to execute a successfull counter attack.
What I hate about FM19 ME is, that I think SI didn't improve the ME at all, they just made obstacles to make play harder and make our players look like fools on the pitch.

About trials, if you have attribute masking, its the best way to get to know about players attributes and ability without putting your scouts on overtime.
However I hate the fact that you can bring 1000 of trialists into club at once. Just doesn't seem right. I don't know if there is a limit?

Knap, in ARGUS 451 P110, could you please check if the attacking right corner setup needs correction. I changed it as I was caught off guard by opponent strikers. Now it is symmetrical to left attacking corner setup.

LOE - line of engagement
SUS - shut up shop: defensive mentality, waste tame, wing backs to no nonsense fullback on defend duty

Maybe just a coincidence but in my next game using IWB's my RB scored a goal.

Knap, beowulf 4231 has proven highly successful in my championship season.
Is there any chance you could create and test beowulf 4411, which would be the same as beowulf 4231 but instead of IF's that cut inside there would be inverted wingers cutting inside, making room for WB's on attack to bomb forward?
0 -
try time 4231 P106
or maybe try pressing forward instead of AF but I don't usually tweak Knaps tactics. Its just to see if it is the role or just the striker that doesn't fit into the tactics.

Darkside 4411 is also good, as I like winger and dlp roles. Also sSTD line for mor stability.
Some nice football to watch. Many chances created. Won vs. Leeds 4-0 but unfortunately lost to Leicester 1-2 away with10 men. Could have won easily with chances created.

It was after 4 wins in first 4 matches that my player realized they were actually playing and winning against the odds in famous EPL so they decided it was time to stop as they literally froze.
After that I won 3 rounds of Carabao cup, but in following 8 EPL matches I won 0, drew 3 and lost 5. There were also some injuries, rotations...
I observed matches, and I have to say that I don't give any blame to the tactics which is superb.
Actually the play and the chances created with it were beyond my teams capability to finish the attack or counter. The play and the chances it was fun to watch.
Every game I drew or lost, I had the same or even more shots on target. In so many opportunities my players had 100% chance to score. It was amazing.
I may try your other 4411 / 442 tactics and have fun.
