Nice and balanced tactic. It looks like it occupies the spaces very well. Who is your primary goal scorer?

Yes well balanced and seems to work very well. Top was AMR and second was DCR, corners are a real threat.

Hi All,

Here is my first season title winning tactic with Real Sociedad.

Short passing and low tempo without counter helps us not waste possession and not let teams take advantage on the counter.

Includes corner setup, CB on right needs good jumping and heading will score plenty!

No OI, assistant handles training and team talks. Never changed anything on the tactic for any match, plug and play for the whole season.

We got to the quarter finals of champions league but something had to give with fixtures piling up so went with a slightly weaker team.

Rotate often, I didn't have the best backup for each position but a fresh team is better than a tired one.

Let me know how it goes.

Update

Forgot I changed the IW on right slightly and didn't save before uploading.

Add below player instructions on IW on right

Sit narrower

Shoot less often

Hi All,

Here is my title winning 442 tactic thanks to @dcayton9for his thread in the tactic section on building a tactic from scratch. Reading all that gave me the help in building this but wasnt really expecting it to go so well.

It's a flat 442 formation, CM on attack gets crazy amounts of goals thanks to the balance and chances this creates. The RM got 30 assists which as you can see this player needs to be creative type not an actual winger. The left side CB got 8 goals so jumping reach and heading here will help. The CF got 27 goals and 8 assists so he is the main threat in attack.

I left it on balanced all season and didnt change anything in settings or use any OI. The assistant manager handled training and team talks, just make sure to swap the team around during the season to keep the players fresh.

Let me know if it works for you.

Thanks for this, really enjoyed reading it and looking at the game in a different way. I have vary rarely played balanced or lower defensive line, I always thought higher line and positive or attacking was the way to go for wins.

After reading all of this thread I made an old school 442 which has just won me the league losing only 1 game all season! Amazing and all thanks to the guidance in here.

Played on balanced every game, never needed to change it. The MC on attack was amazing

never had those sort of goals from midfield. I feel the balance in the tactic makes that position more deadly.

It worked so well I am going to upload it in the tactics section for others to try.

Thanks @dcayton9

Nice one well done, I am also using his tactic with bolton at the moment but struggling a little as my defense is pretty slow! i take it that is the absolute requirement for the success of this tactic?? I usually hate doing the offside trap and push up as i feel you will get spanked 4 or 5 nil away as the strikers always seem to take advantage of this so i am trying to get my head around it but not doing too well at the moment p.s where did you get your skin mate??

Yes fast defenders are a must. My two centre defenders were 14/14 Pace & Acceleration and 15/14. The two fullbacks were 13/14 but Grosso at leftback was 10/9 and he seemed to do ok but the fast defenders got better ratings. Pace and dribbling on the wings is needed as they often run at the other team.

The skin is DAZ8 I think, im sure he has his own website where you can download.

Brilliant tactic Mr Hough! This is a very good tactic if you follow the OP instructions. I had pace in defence and had match prep as defensive positioning all season which worked as you can see from the below. Even though the tactic plays with one striker they score plenty of goals! I rotated my whole team and as you can see my two main strikers had great seasons! 38 Goals for one striker and 39 goals for the other!

I used Juventus and won the double in my first season, spent 12m but had some good players anyway. In the league we scored 112 goals and let in 30 goals. We went unbeaten for 30 games and only lost 2 games all season. Have to say the is probably the best tactic I have used on FM12, so again well done.

See below for pictures of my game!
