Just started out with Leeds United and seems to be going pretty well. Dropped the 2nd striker back to a CAM similar to @killerkoala, which seems to be more effective.
Will report back with my findings when I get to January.

Is this tactic still working on the latest match engine. Looks like the 442 at home and the 4141 away combo seemed to be working.
I am struggling to find a tactic that works since the update to 19.3.
Still working great for me. Started again with Leeds trying to bring through youngsters and had a lot of 17 year olds in the squad and still ran away with the title. Played predominantly 442 but switched to 4141 if I was in a bad patch of form. Worked a treat.

Playing as Scotland. Gave this guy his first cap at 16, before he'd made a club appearance or won a move to Liverpool.
Hoping he continues to progress and becomes the star International striker I'm desperate for...
How are you getting on with Scotland? I've seen quite a few decent Scottish regens coming through on my save! Probably only seen 5 good English ones though and then trying to buy them is a nightmare.

Doing really well and started winning things around a season or two ago. The board decided to extend the stadium and now the finances are looking a bit poor so thats my next task to sort those out.

Oh, my.... he look like the original Ronaldo was (the one that got fat), before his leg turned round the whole way
Hes currently scored 17 in 19 appearances this year. Germany have some unreal regens in my save.
Here is a few more currently in my squad:

Had to pay him quite a hefty wage to keep him at the club. But hes class, well worth it.

Best tactics I've used on any version of Football Manager!
Used the 4141 in the Championship with Leeds and won the title the first year. Then finished 4th in my first season back in the premiership.
The 442 was released and I switched to this due to the number of wonderkid strikers I had managed to purchase, haven't looked back since. Now in my 6th season and winning pretty much every competition entered.
Thank you for sharing these tactics!!

Christmas in second season, going well but just got this.
Very proud.
I think Jack Clarke could be immense with the right game time this year. Doing well for you already! Great achievement.
2 hours ago, Bigmonkey79 said:As a striker or inside forward?
Im gonna start a new save with just homegrown and stolen newgens on compensation only....
Shackleton???
I did exactly this. Was doing well in my second season but had sold a lot of the original first team and not developed any of the youngsters. Made it my aim to develop Shackleton, Pearce, Clarke, Edmundson & Temenuzhkov (Just to start with). All transfers will be under 21 or English if over that.

January Update - Season 1
So after a far few restarts and purchasing many different players I finally settled on a plan that I wanted to work with. Offloaded the usual suspects at the start of the season plus Samu Saiz on loan as he wouldn't get the game time in my formation and terminated all the loans apart from Jamal Blackman and Jack Harrison (both of which are really good players for the championship level).
In January had interest in probably 10 of the squad but only received offers on 6 players. Luke Ayling - Sold to West Brom for £11m in total, Adam Forshaw - Sold to Stoke for £7.5m total, Pawel Cibicki - Sold to Derby for £1.7m, David Garcia - Who I signed for £2.5m I sold on for £2.4m as I really didn't like him and he always looked to struggle when in the squad.
Received offers on Pontus Jansson for £12.5m but rejected this as hes worth more than that surely!?! And a bid from Crystal Palace for Ezgjan Alioski for £9.75m but again rejected as I think he should make me more if I sell once promoted.
Transfer roundup below:
Not sure how you guys are doing it but I struggled to make a 4231 or 41221 which was consistent and gave up in the end going for a slight tweak on a 442.
Found my best starting line up to be the below:
Currently sat at the top of the league with a decent gap to 2nd, so barring a massive injury problem then promotion should be pretty much a given.
Will update when Leeds are in the Premier League once again *fingers crossed*

Quality that, can you send a screenshot of his history? I'm now in Jan first season and have Dennis Diekmeier performing well (Ayling suffered broken leg late Sept and is a few weeks from returning). Dunno if to recall Coyle but need him playing games.
It'll be difficult in first season in PL to have playing time for Diekmeier, Ayling, Coyle and Shackleton (trained him as a WB during Ayling injury).
Also, how well have Clarke, Phillips, Pearce, Shackleton progressed? For European squad registrations I'd imagine they're pretty important, and always great to have some local Leeds lads in.
I've just got to January in my first season and sold Ayling to West Brom for £12 mill (9 mill upfront, 2 mill in installments over 24 months and 1 mill after 50 appearances). Going to be implementing Lewie Coyle into the team for the 2nd half of the season, hoping to get similar offers as @soldierblue123!!

This is the tactic
Any individual instructions? Going to set this up and use it as a slightly more defensive version of my own tactic.

That's some tactic you've got @soldierblue123 well done.
Thanks

Tactics are 4-4-2
Can you upload the tactic somewhere and share (Maybe even upload to a post on here. Believe the files are small enough)?
I'd like to see if the same success can be had & a 442 formation is perfect to build a squad around. I'm currently using a 442 with the wide players pushed up to AML and AMR and doing really well.

A player I thought might be worth a mention. Didn't think he would join but if you offer him a Key role as soon as the game starts he accepts.

Unfortunately couldn’t shift Dallas and Cooper permanently on the full game release but still 250k monthly loans.
Then Roofe 9.5, Ayling 7, Alisoki 6.75 (9.5 after add ons), Hernandez 2.8
What was your starting line up in the end? Interested in doing something like this and trying to bring youngsters in.

Horn 16 mil, 6 upfront with 10 over 36 months
Mere was 17.5, 7.5 upfront, 10 over 36 months.
Raised 29 million from the likes of Roofe, Cooper, Ayling, Alioski and Dallas
Wow! That is some serious money. What did you get for each?

Just signed him for Leeds United. Bid 1.5mill all upfront and was accepted immediately. (Sold Pablo Hernandez for 3mill to fund a few buys)
Will let you know how he gets on.

@macca72 Great start to the thread for this year
Only realised today that the game was out for Beta already! Downloaded it this afternoon and will be starting a save tonight.
Cant wait, Leeds should have a good squad for this years FM just need to get my head around the new tactic changes.
~Edit:
Noticed a fair few free agents which might be worth looking into at the start of the game:
Didier Ndong (Former Sunderland CM, 24 - Was good on 2018 so could be a money maker if he can be brought in and sold at a later date) - Made a contract offer for him.
Papy Djilobodji (Former Sunderland CB, 29) - Possible good option for centre back cover, taken him in on trial but may have WP issues.
Dennis Diekmeier (Mentioned here already but could be a good back up to Ayling, 28) - Brought him in on trial to give him a chance.
Assane Gnoukouri (DM / CM, 21) - Might be worth a punt if WP is possible. Again thinking of selling on at a later date to make a profit.
Serdar Tasci (CB, 31) - Similar to Robert Huth just a little Younger and a little quicker. Could fill a gap for a season.
Has anyone been able to sell any of the existing squad / send any loan players back? (I've noticed you can extend the loans for an extra season on 50% less wages and remove the loan cant be terminated option - but when could you cancel these loans then?)

Have you got pinamonti on loan?
Hes quality on my inter save playing left or poacher
Yeah he’s in on loan. Just extended it for another year with the option to buy for £12.5 million. Perfect for a 3 man up top tactic.
Also loaned in Patrick Cutrone from January but he hasn’t been as good so far. Extended his loan aswell but future fee is £24 million.

still using it and what training etc and you got more results ?
I've set all training to be handled by Assistant manager after bringing my own in. The only thing i change on the training front is set certain players to learn the roles that i want them to play in. For example I am playing Ezgjan Alioski from Leeds who is a winger in the Poacher role in the front 3 so have set him to learn that role. Hes smashing it aswell, below is the leagues top scorers so far:
Tactic wise dont change a thing. It just works as it is

Tactic works a treat! Will report back end of season with full results:
- Edit - This just happened also.. Still first Season, still in the championship albeit romping home with it. And into the Semi's for the FA Cup also. Could a Leeds United triple be on the cards??

There is no player in the Arsenal team that has a full green circle. If you changes all the roles so they are all green then the tactic would have little chance of working.
I would ignore role preference unless you find a specific issue, then consider the change and monitor the results.
In LL I often have players that are red in a role.
Noted. Thank you for the response.

Would changing the Goalkeeper role make a big difference to the tactic? I have two keepers who both dont like the Sweeper Keeper defend role.

Hes currently scored 17 in 19 appearances this year. Germany have some unreal regens in my save.

FM20: Leeds Utd - On the way up!!!
in Good Player & Team Guide

3rd season in and Ansu Fati requested to leave Barcelona as they signed a high profile LW. There was only Tottenham insterested and after scouting said he would be available for 9-16mill.
Immediately offered 16mill and offered him everything he wanted 90k wages lots of bonuses and sign ons etc. (Had to include buy out clause of £105 mill for clubs in champions cup)
This kid is something else. Hopefully he progresses as his potential shows.
