Great to hear, I wanted to ask you the same question @knap. 442 feels real and good. Any team with proper players should be able to win CL with Midsomer 442 right? Looked good with your Liverpool test for 34-3-1. Midsomer 442 of yours is pure beauty in the realistic look of the formation and for immersion . 442 is also nice because it utilizes most kind of different playing positions that players are set for in most squads. When I played 3-4-3 I had no use for any AML/AMR players and sold them.. Do the midfield wingers or MC need good tackling skill? I mean most wingers or AM:s in the game doesent have good tackling..

knap Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 For an away tactic with a top club being over cautious may drop points. It may be worth considering maybe tactics from PIGRIMAGE 451 down but if too defensive moving back up list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
knap Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 As long as they can play winger position then as they are attacking players that should be good enough. Midfield I prefer a dm type player and creative type player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trijung Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I got 97 points with Newcastle mainly using this tactic but City got 98 points. So sick.

karanhsingh Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 @knap - just wanted to say thanks for your work on the tactics. I have taken this tactic as a base and made some changes, the tweaked version is now working very well on my Portsmouth side. We are top of the Championship mid-way through the second season, after getting comfortably promoted from league one in the first season. I have converted the WMs to wingers, the Anchorman to a DLP and one of the F9 to a PF. This is basis the players I have in the squad. That said, the general formation and style of play works very well. Nice one We are not scoring enough from set pieces though, any tips there?

Fribbe Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 47 minutes ago, geomprikos said: Knap is there a way to return back loan players at first season; Depends on the loan contract. If you want to recall a player to your club, the loan must have the clause "can be recalled". If you want to send a player back to their actual club, the loan can not have "loan cannot be terminated". As iamspartacus said above, you can only recall/terminate loans 28 days after the save start date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragin Cajun Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Knap had tons of success with your volante and volante anchor last year. Doing an LLM save with a level 9 club this year. Got off to a solid start using the volante, 7W, 5D, and the lone defeat was in the FA Cup First Qual Round but seems goals are hard to come by. I know I've heard that FM19 seems that forwards/strikers are struggling this year. But with a LLM side it's hard to find even mediocre volantes and anchors. Any recommendations as I build the boys up? As noted I'm not "losing" but 1-2 goals seems to be my norm. 3-4 goals is an outlier. And been clean sheeted twice in the last four matches.

knap Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 Only need players that play in DM position. MIDSOMER 442 is the basis of the VOLANTE tactic which uses MCs and ARGUS 343 is a good LL and under dog tactic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
