[SeXy FoOtBaLl 4-4-2 tactic amazing results.]

Hi Pointon27,

i'm with Spurs second season with excelent result (won Euro Cup first year and Champions league this year) but i've a lot of problem with striker.

I followed your instruction about the most important attributes but it didn't work.

I bought Rossi-Saviola(good pace-of the ball-finishing) but no-one of this is able to score(rossi 6,saviola1).

Please could you help to find the right striker?

For me, Keirrison, is scoring for fun. I'm on third season (first with patch 9.3) and he's scoring an incredible number of goals. Ratio of more than 1 per game. 18 games, 23 goals, 10 assists, 6 MOM.

I've only used the home tactic and up till now, it's still working great. We'll see how the control tactic works when I face a stronger opponent.

Some time ago I started a new game (still with patch 9.2) and, after 2 seasons, the results were brilliant. Last season I simply dominated everything (inc. CL) and didn't lose a single game, conceding very few goals. I'm Benfica but my squad is utterly changed from the original one, with lots of very good youth and other cheap but very good players (only David Luiz is there, from the initial squad). I also didn't reload a single game, in case you're wondering. The control tactic did wonders against stronger (on paper) opposition, especially on CL. I destroyed Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool and Inter.

I always use quite a good deal of "show onto weak foot", some pressing (AMC and DMC), I few hard tackling and maybe a little bit of marking. Maybe this improves the tactic's effectiveness, I would like to believe. As for team talks, I see what the Ass Manager says but don't always follow what he advises.

Patch 9.3 came along while I was on preseason and installed it. Early signs are that the tactics are still doing their magic, I would even venture to say that they are even better than before. But I must also say that, up until now, I've only used the home tactic, no need yet for the control one. Only mildly difficult opponent was Olympique Marseille (Super Cup) which was severely dominated (19 shots against 6) and was defeated 4-1.

One thing to bear in mind is that maybe things are better if the team is gelled. Mine is and, for season 3, I've added practicly no one.
