Stormraider Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Mr.Knap, I think your actic is currently one of the best tactics and really like to try it in ipad FM. Could you please post the team and individual instructions, so I could re-creat and test it in FM touch. Thanks in advance. (or anyone knows how to import it to ipad,pls let me know) ps. I've tried your tactic with my own intructions and produce quite impressive result offensively with Bournemouth. But Its defence needs some adjustment. Thus I prefer the to try with yours. Thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

knap Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 This is an extract from Herne79's thread A Complete Club Strategy - covering the pre season and the importance of friendlies. Pre-Season Pre-Season is purely about the following: - Team Cohesion - Match Fitness - Player Morale - Tactical Familiarity The first of those is sorted by a specific General Training setting. The next 2 are done through (usually) playing Friendly matches (West Ham in season one are slightly different due to early Europa League qualifying rounds). Tactical Familiarity also requires a specific General Training setting as well as playing matches. Arranging Friendly Matches Ideally you will arrange a Home friendly match every 3 or 4 days, against very low quality opposition. If managing a small club, it can also prove financially attractive to arrange a friendly against a large club, however be careful of the fees these clubs command and your expected income. Sometimes you will actually receive a larger profit by playing a friendly against a slightly smaller club as their fees will be lower but you should still attract a large crowd. Playing Friendlies is the only way to improve player Match Fitness before competitive matches start. There is a bit of a myth that setting General Training to "Fitness" will also help here. It doesn't. Fitness General Training will attempt to develop your players' physical attributes (eg., stamina, strength, pace and so on) and so has absolutely nothing to do with Match Fitness. The reason to pick low quality opposition for opponents in Friendlies is so that you are pretty much guaranteed a win. Winning matches improves morale, and happy players with good morale at the start of the season can help get you off to a flier. Team Cohesion During Pre-Season, General Training should be set to Team Cohesion. The intensity level should be at least Medium - High if you think your players can handle it. Team Cohesion is important at the start of each season to help players blend together well. New faces from either promoted Youth team players and/or transfers can rapidly destroy cohesion, so it's important to get it back up. Players who are unfamiliar with each other won't perform as well on the pitch. You can check on your squad cohesion by looking at your Assistant Manager's Team Talk Feedback Report. Here is mine at the start of the season: Not very good, so I'll set Team Cohesion in General Training and leave it on that until such time as this report improves (generally 4-6 weeks). I'll have to check it periodically. Tactical Familiarity Once you have created (or downloaded) tactics, your players need to learn them. Playing with an unfamiliar tactic isn't the worst thing in the world, but it can certainly help kick start your season. To maximise the speed at which your team becomes familiar with your tactics, you need to set your Match Preparation in your Training screen to Match Tactics. Note that the more tactics you have set up (maximum three), the longer familiarity will take. You also need to maximise the amount of time your team spend at the training ground practising your tactics. This is done using the Scheduling slider at the top centre of the screen to set "More Match Training". You should also not allow any rest before or after matches, as this will impact on the amount of time your team spend studying their tactics. Putting it all Together This is how West Ham's Pre-Season Training and match schedule looks. You can see: - Team Cohesion is being worked on; - Easy Friendly matches have been arranged; - Match Preparation is set to tactics (although I haven't actually created any tactics yet); - Scheduling has been increased to maximise time spent preparing Match Tactics. This also shows why I mentioned way back at the start of this article why I set the season to start with Germany 26/6/2015, instead of England 1/7/2015. If I had left it until 1/7/2015, I'd be missing out on a few days of training and a Friendly match - I'd be launching straight into my first Europa League qualifying match against Lusitans. Speaking of this, I'm treating these Europa League matches as additional Friendly matches. I really should be winning these games with some ease, so they take the place of some Friendlies. You'll notice that after the Canterbury match there is a gap - assuming I beat Lusitans, the next round of qualifying will appear here. If I fail to beat Lusitans I can simply arrange a Friendly in this place. And then uninstall the game . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iolodavanki Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I am new to FM17 but have played earlier games to death: Using this tactics I very often find myself drawing or losing despite being totally superior with regards to shots and shots on target, for example 18/8 for me vs. 5/3 for opposition, 1-1 draw. Or i even lost recently 5-4 despite having 40/14 shots. I do not know if it is FM17 or the tactic or my players. Anyone have any pointers? more examples: I am Coruna: Coruna vs Bilbao, 32/15 vs 12/7, lost 2-3 Coruna vs Granada, 22/6 vs 7/5, lost 1-3 Coruna vs Elche, 22/9 vs 6/3, lost 0-3 Coruna vs Malaga, 21/9 vs 9/5, lost 3-4 Baleares vs Coruna, 4/2 vs 17/6, drew 1-1 Coruna vs Valencia, 43/17 vs 6/2, won 2-1 (in 93rd min) wtf Real San Sebastian vs Coruna, 7/4 vs 26/14, lost 0-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, I am not complaining about the tactic as I am clearly creating a lot of chances. I am in 2019, La Coruna has had a take over and are kinda rich. I have some good players but not the best in the league. I am do all the things you suggest above.

BielsaFC Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hey Knap, been using your tactics for years, to much success. Unfortunately this tactic seems to have gone sour on my after a strong start. Playing as second division Mexican club FC Juarez, projected 1st pre-season. Main issue seems to be that I don't have a striker that is comfortable as a Complete Forward. Create tons of chances, finished few. I pickup a seemingly unnecessary number of yellows (quite a few suspensions) and opposing teams almost always score their goals as a result of the defensive lack of width (quick cross from out wide to on-running goal scorer) Any thoughts? Followed all the usual pre-season/in-season systems, I usually go to much higher tempo & attacking when a need a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
knap Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 My top tactic is Wheels of Fire 3511 IWB (Not sure I have posted this here) or Wheels of Fire IWB 3412. The 3412 should suit your squad but provides the width at back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BielsaFC Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 10 minutes after I posted that the team won a game and started to go on a run, naturally. Still have absolutely no idea why we had that long streak of draws, only major change was a talented starting GK came back from injury during that period, can't imagine that would be a huge factor.
