RDF Tactics Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 i mean....wow!! this tactic even more impressive! this is my set up. signed Djikia, a fast CB (his stats are there). BIG TIP, go to team comparision page. check the avg speed and agility of midfielders and attackers, and sign CBs that matches that (screenshot below). schedule i use is also there all my CMS are trained as ball winning midfielders...wingers are trained as defensive wingers....All CMS, i moved into the defensive unit...screenshots below again @andysafc i hope you don't mind all of this on your page? lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this tactic is suited to most teams, it is up to some people to try and get the most out of it by making small adjustments. Working fine for me just now but i expect to make changes when i get promoted. Not so much to the tactic but to the players i bring in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes I think currently the only solution to balls over the top is fast CBs so that's for the recommendation. I have a few question if you don't mind: 1. what is the thinking re training all CMS as ball winning midfielders, rather than training them for their actual role? Same question re wingers. 2. what is the thinking re CMS into defensive unit? 3. re the training schedule - is that your own custom schedule or the normal gegen press template you've selected or do you just leave to your assistance manager? What happens when you have two matches in a week? 4. do you think all the injuries are due to the training schedule intensity? 5. are you still alternating between the home and away tactic? The away tactic is much less intensive according to the intensity indicator. 6. do you try and play normal wingers on each wing where possible i.e. left foot on left and right foot on right?

The away tactic is much less intensive according to the intensity indicator. 6. do you try and play normal wingers on each wing where possible i.e. left foot on left and right foot on right? 1. the thinking behind it is the tactic. there's a lot of pressing and your midfield does a lot of it. ball winning mids and defensive wingers, one of their man jobs is to win the ball back quickly (so is the tactics) so i get them training that as a priority. other attributes will rise with game time as you can see here. the main stats i want to see improve are improving 2. again, they need to do a lot of defensive work, things like defensive engagement in training, only the defensive unit work on that whilst the attacking unit only tries to attack against the defensive unit. your CMs will be doing a lot of engagement work on the pitch. 3. i've created that using the gegen press template 4. it could be, or it could be typical FM. but if it is training, that'll be a reason to have a big squad. 5. i only use the away tactic, away against the top 6 teams. Leicester are predicted to finished 8th, so i can afford to use the home tactic everywhere else. 6. well, on the left wing i play Maddison, who is right footed, but has a fairly strong foot. i recommend at least one of your wingers are similar to him. he's a playmaker type but very good at dribbling, specially because he's both footed...on the right wing, i rotate between Gray and Albrighton..i play Gray against teams who will defend against me, i need his pace and flair. i play Albrighton against teams who will have the ball a lot, he has very high work rate and teamwork Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Arsenal, i don't think i had the problem of teams approaching me differently, it was more investment issues...LFC and City always signed big players and spent a lot of money, i like to find bargains and my bargain signings wasn't good enough, LFC and City dominated. i actually finished with more points, but finished 2nd and 3rd after the 1st season finishing 1st lol...but LFC and City finished on like 103points, i can't compete with that this file, i've spent a bit more, but actually invested more, i've been very specific in who i sign too! i signed Haaland but i really didn't want to, as he's popular with the FM community and i like finding players with lower reputation but Vardy is on his last legs and i couldn't find a good enough replacement for a good price the quality of players (apart from Munteanu and Stergiou) are way better than the ones sold, but yet, i received 115mil and spent 93mil...but i haven't finished spending, need a CM and LB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost me 5.25mil and his value went straight to 26mil...as you can see through his stats, it suits my tactic....he has good positioning, work rate, speed, agility, anticipation, teamwork, decisions...all these attributes match or are higher than the leagues average for CM this is my shortlists...some i will be looking to sign next summer..but again, all their attributes match the league average Edited November 24, 2019 by RDF Tactics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Law_Man Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Sorry basic questions am still getting to grips with the transition from fm 2012 to fm 2020: 1. how do I save player filters in the search? For example, once I've done a search for a DC with my required attributes I then used to be able to save that as a filter called DC and then just click on that in future rather than having to do it again. I can't see that this year, only the import/export feature, which when I used didn't work properly. 2. did the club automatically increase the scouting package to World? Or if not how did you do it?

Oh yeah I do, I spent hours looking around for 16/17 year olds to develop lol. I don’t want to just win it once, want to become established. Also I think the team could be better. Still a few original players, still not completely “my team”. just got rid of Albrighton and Vardy, is my team dynamics will be messed up again because they both were leaders. So it’ll be challenging again, I bought Martial and Lingard (Both were transfer listed), they have some familiarity with the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
