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

Hi SIunit. Thankyou for you're feedback. As you have said so many people are having success with this tactic. However, I'm sure me and others will help you to share in this by overcoming some of the problems you seem to be having. Ok, firstly can you send me the first 11 of you're team. Also have you updated to 9.3.0 and have you followed the opening post guide closely?

Cheers

Yes, My starting lineup is:

Gk: Abbiati

DR: Zambrotta

DL: Janvuluski

DC(L): Nesta

DC ®: Senderos

ML: Ronaldinho

MR: Arteta/Cani

MC: Flamini

MC: Pirlo

ST: Owen/Inzaghi (Pato out injured)

FC: Kaka

As you can see my first 11 is not bad at all. I am using the 9.3.0 version. Everything in the opening post was followed except for the b-arrows on the MC for reason as I mentioned earlier it gave too much room to opp. midfield. I think most of the time the tactic work quite well in the fact that i usually get more possession and such. The main problem though is the only person scoring is Kaka in the FC role, if he is out then nobody can seem to score (and I more often than not lose the game). Many games I was able to win or draw only because of the corner trick where my DC head in a goal. What I would like though is to make the strikers score regularly.

thanks for the response.

What it is, is that the left ST stay too close to the AI Centerback, and therefore cannot do anything with a ball when they receive ( which they rarely receive). My FC Kaka, though is performing very good, scored 19 goals in 23 apps, and the reason he scores is that he drops back to receive the ball, and his dribbling allows him to get past defenders, but the thing that make him perform so good is his preferred moves. Placed shot make him shoot to the corners of the goal, try long shot + killer ball often make him do perform one touch longshots all the time which he scores alot of them.

So far I have no idea how to fix my striker force, I mean it was not for Kaka's amazing attributes ( and the fact that he actually fit perfectly into this role) I really think Milan will get owned so bad. (Currently I am in 6th in serie A and didn't even make past UEFA cup group stage)

So I was wondering if anyone has faced similar problems? and if so can Tylerbode or anyone can help me to see if there is any solution to my problem? The main thing Iam look to solve is how to make my ST score? I mean honestly I have tried alot of settings but none of them worked. Maybe someone know a setting for ST from other successful tactics and maybe can help me? Also I hope I could start a discussion on the MCs not pressing enough with their b-arrows, because if ur team have all the possession then make b-arrows work, but if they manage to retain possession you're really screwed.

thanks a bunch,

I am currently using this tactic (v4) for Milan.

Before starting the season, I really thought this tactic makes a lot of sense when you look at it.

I don't know because most people have success with this tactic seemingly instantly, in my case it always have take me a while for my team to really get used to it and succeed. For example in 9.0.1 I was managing liverpool with a tactic (role-theory I think?) it took me a whole season and then some to become the dominant team in the league.

So, so far in this Milan, things also did not start off in a good fashion. I'll admit this Milan squad was not that suited for 4-4-2, for example they don't even have wingers to begin with. However, I pulled some transfers and got a few players. Most notably Cani who could be a good winger, and Ronaldinho plays the other winger. Yes I know they are not technically wingers but really, they are technically good enough to play wingers with ease. i also got Owen to bolster my strike force.

Long words short I will get into the matches. I will roughly describe what are some common scenarios.

1. First off a problem same as others have start to appear (I think Aachen-something i think? sorry mate forgot your name) The problem is that the MCs stay TOO far back and REALLY do not attack opposition midfield with the b-arrows on them. This causes all sort of problems as the AI midfield run riot. AI score some ridiculous long range piledrivers. And this happens on a regularly enough situation to really F me over all time.

My solution to this? I remove the b-arrows and make MC close down a bit further. This really seems to solve the problem.

2. My left ST absolutely does not score ( or does anything much for that matter lol) I mean I have played Pato, Owen, Boriello, Inzaghi in this position and they flopped so badly that i feel its a shame to have such talented individuals play such useless role.

Hello Tyler bode,

using your v2 tactic on my QPR, after reading everyone's comments it seems like most ppl are having success with this tactic, however im getting pretty bad results, away form is OK, but home form is just terrible have lost 3 home games on the trot now, losing to birmingham 0-1, cardiff 0-3, then southampton 0-3,

i have followed the tactic as posted, and i have a pretty decent squad.

Really frustrated hope you or anyone have any advice? any is help greatly appreciated.
