johangod Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Man United are similar in mine, Mourinho still there and they are insane. Spent 3 years at Arsenal, 4th first season, 2nd in second season with 90 pts and like a +GD of 70 with 107 scored - but managed to win it in the 3rd season, they are dominant but not like PSG where it's like lowest pts they've gotten in a season barring the 1st season they won it is 90, and on four occasions have they gone over 100... ****ers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johangod Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 btw, I noticed you don't use Work Ball into Box, something I've felt is absolutely necessary ever since they brought in that option, otherwise it's just long shots all over.

Have you tried using it and was it much different or does it work better without it for some reason ? I am using a slightly modified version of the 3-5-2 that Rosler posted earlier in the thread, and I only need Work Ball Into Box when I'm playing a team of similar ability that are playing a defensive block. Against weaker teams the default tactic just blows them away. Against stronger teams, there is always lots of space in behind their defence to exploit, they never defend in a low block, so Work Ball Into Box isn't necessary.

sparkysrovers Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Ended up 2nd to Chelsea in the Premier league. Utd fell away somewhat towards the end as did we as we lost our second last game and our last as we needed to beat Chelsea at home to win the league. In the month of January i switched to the momox tactic and then back to yours to finish the league out. It solved our bad run of form. Going to be interested to try the 343if for the next season.

I had to make a few tweaks to suit my squad. I moved the CM back to a Regista, added Close Down More to the team instructions, and switched to Counter mentality. Then I added Move Into Channels to the strikers to make them find space out wide when we win the ball back, ready for a quick transition out of defence. The defence is really solid and we score loads on the counter. It isn't the easiest football on the eye at times, but it's effective. Must be this one???

JK Galgreefe Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I'm away from my computer for the weekend but I can post the actual tactic when I'm back. It's basically the Mezzala version of the 3-5-2 with the following changes. Move central midfielder back to Regista (with Shoot Less) Wing backs on Attack Mezzalas on Support Close Down More Counter mentality Move Into Channels on DLFs Against big teams I take Close Down More off the wingbacks and change them to support mentality. Or even defensive if they're getting beaten too easily. I think I tweaked the set piece routines too but nothing major. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkysrovers Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Have you had much success with the 343if? I've decided to go for a season with it, as usual - friendlies were all won. We seem to concede a lot of close range shots though during the season so far, but still in a close position to the top. We've also had a lot of penalties awarded against us. I havent set any free kick takers and it seems to have worked a treat as we've scored some tasty free kick goals. Also seem to concede in the latter stages, which maybe I should change the 2nd half tactic to protect the lead, instead of staying in control the whole match.

Karnack Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Is this tactic expected to produce a lot of injuries? My second season with the tactic (it worked great the first season, winning alot) and we have constantly been top of the injury table. Almost all injuries are from matches. First season we averaged over 1 injury per game. Henderson for example missed 127 days with 6 different injuries all from matches. High intensity so wouldn't surprise, but it's hard to keep the starting 11 for more than 1 game in a row. Anyone else have issues? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysrovers Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Just finished the season with the 343if - I think I'm going to try going back to the 4231 (control) to see how I do with it with a stronger, better reputation team now. If that doesnt win us a league, its the regista 352. Highlights of the season, record lowest number of league losses with 5 but through away a lot of points with 13 draws. End of season form was disappointing lost in the semi final of the champions league and FA Cup. It came down to the last game of the season for us to qualify 4th. Liverpool were a point ahead of us and were playing bottom Crystal palace so thought there's no way theyre losing that but they did 3-1 and to make it worse, we couldnt beat 16th place Newcastle. So lucky to draw that match in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr U Rosler Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Greetings After a bit of break i'm back. I've had a good look at JK Galgreef's changes to the 352 and are 100% on board with these with the exception of retaining Control Mentality. I ran it for a few games in the Premier League to get a feel for it and was impressed, I decided to restart my Academy Challenge so back to Conference North and Stockport. The results have been nothing short of sensational. 19 Wins, 2 Draws, 1 defeat in 22 league games so far. Scored 50 only conceding 9 goals. I genuinely thought I could go unbeaten in the League. The Stockport squad is decent but well behind the likes of Salford/FC United in terms of quality. image ru Against organised defences your Wingbacks provide much of the creativity, once you're ahead and teams push up the Regista will start to crucify teams with balls over the top. Really nice football. Bears more than a passing resemblance to Southgate's England. Set your Wingbacks to take corners.

I agree about the resemblance to Southgate's England formation, although England could really do with a proper Regista instead of Henderson. There's a couple of things I'm trying to sort before I'm truly happy with it. First off, the wingbacks can be too aggressive with their pressing, they occasionally get dragged into central midfield and leave their flank totally open. We need a bit of pressing from them though because we want them to engage opposition wingers high up the pitch, so it's a tricky one to get right. Secondly, the Mezzalas can be a bit peripheral. I'm not really happy with how much they contribute in an attacking sense and sometimes they don't press high enough. Maybe changing to the Control mentality sorts this. I haven't tried that mentality because I love my quick counters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysrovers Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Do you think its worth changing it against bigger/better teams from control to counter? EDIT: This tactic scores the most amazing goals I've seen in football manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK Galgreefe Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Every team I use this tactic against is bigger and better than we are I usually play on Counter all the time for that reason. But given Rosler's success with Control I might give that a go next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr U Rosler Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Counter attacks trigger on all mentalities when you win the ball and there are less than 'X' opposing players between the ball carrier and the opponents goal. It's possible 'X' might be 1 player more on the more defensive duties so in theory they can trigger more often, i'm unsure of this, but i'm seeing plenty on control mentality and they are often from slightly higher up the pitch so potentially even more dangerous. I got promoted out of Conference North last season where I was favourite in many games, i'm clinging on to the play-offs in my first season in National where i'm underdog in most games. I've cleared out the 'old guard' and are blooding 15, 16 year olds as i'm doing an Academy challenge, I think CONTROL will be OK even when underdog in most games.

Gareth Winter Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I decided against trying with England as I couldn't be bothered I used it as Spurs for 10 games or so, decent results, think it was 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. In those games I played Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea and Man Utd twice. I also decided to start a new career save with Stockport. Smashed the league with 100 points.

sparkysrovers Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I dont tend to score a lot with the new incarnation of the tactic. My form dropped off the face of a cliff towards the end of last season, finished third above my expectation of 6th despite being 1st/2nd for most of the league. Lost in Semi final of Euro Cup after being knocked out of group stages of Champions League. Lost in FA Cup Final but did win the Carabao Cup. Couldnt seem to win our games in hand which killed our hopes of landing the top prize. How do people find it on counter attack instead of control?

Gareth Winter Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Control seems better to me. I do stick it on counter towards the end of a game if it's tight, but if they equalise then its straight back on Control! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysrovers Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 A fantastic tactic - had my best ever season.

We didnt win our games in hand but did manage to beat them, could have won had we've been a bit more consistent. Knocked out of FA Cup Semi final by a goal but ended up winning the Champions League by a goal against Juventus.

Mr U Rosler Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Found I was drawing a few too many games with the 3322. Now i'm on a 442.

Obviously based a good, strong team but the board then sold my 2 star players, both central defenders, as i'm doing an academy challenge I had to bring in a couple of 15 year olds I'm 2nd with 12 games to go so still looking good although not much breathing space with a few teams hot on my heals. But its hard to tell if i'm over performing or not, I think so, but the team is top heavy, my forwards are a lot better than my defenders. Just won a couple of games 9-2, 7-0.

JK Galgreefe Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Been playing around with the 4-4-2 a little bit. I like the tactic because it seems to be better balanced than the 3-3-2-2. We have been conceding more goals than we typically would, but I'm putting that down to unfamiliarity and the strength of the opposition in our recent games. On clear cut chances we're conceding less and creating more. One thing i want to look into is how to get a bit more out of the centre mids. I want them to press aggressively and that's happening but right now they don't do much in attack for me. That might be because they are my worst players but I'm gonna try a few things anyway.

Mr U Rosler Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Definitely potential with the 442. That's 3 promotions in a row.

Mr U Rosler Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Ran into Liverpool in the FA Cup, unlucky to lose 2-1 in the end, both teams had over 20 shots on goal. We do give away some bad goals, balls over the top are a problem, but I think we had the joint 4th best defence in the division, not bad considering the goal scoring upside and the goal difference compared to the rest of the league speaks for itself. Next season in the Championship will be interesting, beyond that the original 4231 stopped working in the Premier League so it will be interesting to see if this set up stands up to the test. Expecting comfortable mid-table in the Championship next year before a promotion push the year after, but who knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
