What to expect-

Fueled by pure hatred of the dominance 4-2-3-1 tactics, I decided to try and break them. Using a patient, narrow, short passing possession based style. I have received staggering results with this one and I will share them with you.

This strategy marches down the centre of the pitch and a cold methodical way. Quick passes in a tight space with many options for the person in possession due to the amount of bodies in a small area. 90+ goals with West Ham after one season using this. Quite possibly a game breaker.

This tactic meets the philosophies of Play attacking football AND play possession based football without the use of wingers.

High Possession
High Shot count
Plenty of goals from set plays.

Consistently punch above your weight.

I see comments on stopping the front 2 from swapping. Can I ask how do you stop them from doing that?
LITT 25 Nov, 2017 @ 12:13pm 
FM17 best tactics goes to this. But swap striker isnt a good thing, and i replace target man (which is not effective) to false nine (okay its stupid, but its works well!)

Best tactics of all! I won the Bundesliga in the first year with Eintracht Frankfurt, scored 80 Goals and Sebastien Haller became 2nd best Scorer with 28 Goals. After Chelsea bought Jetro Willems for 27mio. I now do have a big problem. The tactic relies so much on strong CBs.

Of all the tactics I have used on FM17, this is by far the most successfull. I would recomend changing to - Counter/Direct/Higher tempo/run at defence - when away from home, especially when going 1-0 down.

your tactics are the best man using maldini doesnt tackle and won with 5-2 against liverpool :steamhappy:
SamHarvey44 28 Sep, 2017 @ 9:48am 
Why are both FBs set to attack on the picture, but the LB is set to support in the actual tactic?
TonyTheTonberry 4 Aug, 2017 @ 11:29am 
Is this still viable?

Couldn't get this tactic to work consistently at all, until I stopped the front 2 swapping positions. Now I'm hoovering up the points. :D
