I have yet to find a tactic thaTt is just plug and play which you could do in previous versions of FM. I still find Annilihator works best for me. Which is fair enough, but I had around 2-3 seasons of Knap tactics and a similar number with TFF. Don't mean to complain but it's just annoying seeing the same stuff repeat itself.

Scoring bucketloads in quick time 2. Bossing the stats but game ends 1-0/0-0/0-1 3. Getting destroyed in quick time If I lose a man it's a very difficult system to patch together as mahoosive space is conceded somewhere. Most commonly I'm conceding from just giving the ball away, a lump down the pitch or a screamer from 20-30 yards. Yep that's what I found also so decided to take a break from the game as I was getting too frustrated. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the work TFF and Knap do, but i tend to think there is an overkill with the amount of tactics that we see uploaded this year and last, Knap in particular puts out a ridiculous amount. He must have about a dozen 442's alone. Again i appreciate them both and they probably do create the best tactics overall. But i do remember the days, you'd find a tactic and that would be it, it would be your career tactic on multiple saves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwccfc1987 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Needed 4 points to secure 3rd place. In its infinite wisdom the game puts 3 games in a week to finish the season including away at Arsenal and United. Of course, it decides to take out my keeper for just a week with an 'innocuous injury' so the reserve has to come in. Scrape the first game so a point needed. Go 2-1 up at Arsenal with 5 minutes left, of course concede from a punt down the pitch and to crown it off, the reserve keeper drops a free kick in the last seconds to lose the game. Players now tired, so off to United to miss a flurry of sitters before going behind. Miss a penalty and then 3 times in a row the ball sails over a defenders head to allow a 4-0 loss. Finish 4th by a point. I'm sorry, I'm done. That's a f***ing joke. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sky Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Both Cerber V4 and Annihilator V1 work really well with my Leicester team. However you will find Cerber will be more stable than Annihilator. You can score a lot of goals with Annihilator (more than Cerber) but a the same time you could conceded some goals (more than Cerber) as well. Keep in mind, it took around 10-15 games until the tactic become fluid to your team and you can see the great result after that. Personally I like Annihilator more than Cerber as my team can score more goals. You just need to make sure you have great defence line up for your team to avoid conceding goals.

Personally I like Annihilator more than Cerber as my team can score more goals. You just need to make sure you have great defence line up for your team to avoid conceding goals. I can't agree more. Cerber helps with it's stable defence to overachieve when you start league, which results in AI starting to play more cautious against you. When you are favourite, Cerber lacks with creating chances if you compare with Annihilator. Annihilator somehow works better with breaking opposition defence even if they play defensive as a unit, whereas Cerber usually try to exploit with set-pieces mostly. Cerber's overload is helping in these cases, but still Annihilator is slightly more effective offence-wise and also Annihilator has it's own overload tactic too anyway. Annihilator tactic set brings me more success if I am top or sub-top team in my league. But it may back-fire when you are underdog or a newly promoted team to a higher tier that season, you might concede lot and have a unstable defence even if you have good defenders in your tier. If I'm an average or poor team, I try to use Cerber in the first half of the season and latter stages I try to switch to Annihilator. This way works better for me. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any feedback i'm in 2028/2029 with blyth spartans, last season 2027/2028 tweak the tactic after a defeat against Liverpool 29th october, after that didn't lose any match in premier and won it with 101 points (with 3 or 4 games draw leaving to the assistant with second line formation) only 16 goals conceded, won the fa cup, lost against chelsea in the semi-finals champions league (unlucky match) 3-1 away and won 1-0 home, in carabao out with penalties, the most good thing are the clean sheet with this formation, the opponent finish with zero shot on target very often.. the team is strong but with a medium age of only 22,5 y.o. so i think is a very good achievement Is quite important that the 2 AMC had good shooting from distance, but the player that score more is the forward, 48 matches 48 goals for me, then the 2 wingers and the AMC, for the other things is the same as TFF says in his tactic post ps: sorry for my poor english and THANKS to @Totalfootballfan for his awesome tactic Edited April 12, 2020 by iwin89god 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
