Tried this tactic for a season results were devastating!..

Тактика просто отличная. Поставил на 3 сезон за Глостер, после провала своей, в итоге на 1 месте в лиге 2

I've reached season 42 of an onlime game and have recently started struggling against my competitor. I've had this tactic for a bit but not sure if I've ever used it.
My competitor wasn't on tonight so I loaded our save up and tested this tactic.
I instanted a few but mostly played the games (pre season mainly). The results were great.
Will post back later after I've had chance to use the tactic for real.

good strat, i manage Rochdale in skybet 1, finished 11 before this tactic last season and won the promotion this season

Random the game adapts to your tactics either at the end of the year or near the half-season. . Tactics like this are meant to teach newbies how to make their own - which you absolutely must do in FM14/FM15 etc You are also supposed to adapt to your opponents tactics during match if you want to win consistently. FM is based on keeping your players happy and fit for match and keeping your manager alter-ego on top of the tactical games

Poh, maravilha!

My team seems to commit a lot of fouls, average of 3 yellow card every game. Should i lose the OI's? Or should i use others than my assistent's (4 star assistent)?

It's a good tatic, pass rate is through the roof, best in the premier I've had. Although it is a struggle for me to get goals, I'm Liverpool trying this one out it's good but I don't think I have the right players.
Reacti0N 16 Oct, 2014 @ 5:59pm 
Am i the only one who gets the results, that after a season, the tactics kind of wears of? I don't get such many goals as i did before and i am loosing a lot more games!

Ant Montana 6 Oct, 2014 @ 1:02pm 
I'm getting great results in Europe with Celtic, so must be good
Coolcrumbshark 29 Sep, 2014 @ 8:57am 
Do i just make this manually from your instructions or does it do that for me if i subscribe? By weaker teams do you mean wigan and qpr (no offences meant) or Shrewsbury and Crewe?
loganz360 15 Sep, 2014 @ 4:30pm 
The best tactic I have used! Thanks :D
maurer_007 12 Sep, 2014 @ 8:43am 
how can i download this tac? thx you!

Great too see its still going strong. :soccerball:
jaydafeesh75 7 Sep, 2014 @ 9:56pm 
Won Premier League with Newcastle in the first season with no new signings.
tc45_ 10 Aug, 2014 @ 3:26pm 
Love it!
Badpun 18 Jul, 2014 @ 3:00pm 
Great tactic, thank you! My Irish team won the World Cup & the European Championship largely using this!
booba 15 Jul, 2014 @ 3:18pm 
With MUFC reached the UFC final and won Barclays and Capital One cup
Chevs 15 Jul, 2014 @ 6:31am 
I used this tactic with my Tottenham save and it went so great, won the Euro Cup against Barcelona, and finished at a nice 3rd in the BPL in the first season. I also won the FA Cup against Man Utd.
TheLBH 14 Jul, 2014 @ 9:31am 
What instructions are best to use??
Chris #10 6 Jul, 2014 @ 8:22am 
awesome
andkildea 5 Jul, 2014 @ 10:46am 
nice
Crusadertsar 29 Jun, 2014 @ 5:30pm 
Wow great tactic for smaller teams. My first season in Premier with Blackburn couldnt manage to find tactic that brought consistent results. But after trying yours instant results against big teams! Managed to win againt Chelsea AWAY 1-0 and draw Arsenal 1-1 while Liverpool looked like was going to be 1-1 draw but then they snuck in nasty added time set piece goal. Mind you this is in 2014-2015 season so havent had a chance to make big changes to original team, with only big signing being Tom Ince on free. And tactic isnt even fully fluid yet! Cant imagine what it will be like when firing on all cylinders. Great work mate!
to_gaz 5 Jun, 2014 @ 7:54am 
Worked superbly for Newcastle in my first season, finishing 2nd. Didn't tweak anything too much and bar a single loan player used the players i started with. Ben Arfa was amazing in this formation.
malcolm_lee_attard 4 Jun, 2014 @ 2:21am 
Is it good for big teams like Arsenal ?
Jesper / MrJones 31 May, 2014 @ 1:34pm 
A very nice tactic. It works very well with Brøndby in the Danish SuperLiga :-)
carlrussell98 4 May, 2014 @ 2:01pm 
i tweaked slightly and it worked wonders change striker to am traquraista
ciarandorrian 24 Apr, 2014 @ 3:15am 
Do i listen to my staff in game advice with this tactic
cjl1000 22 Apr, 2014 @ 9:41am 
how do you set training tto 80% match training on team Cohesion it only ever shows 50% when full?
Andy 27 Mar, 2014 @ 6:55am 
Really good, thanks man. I mean, I'm not a massive fan of just mindlessly downloading someone else's tactic and blindly playing it, but I downloaded yours and studied all the team and player instructions, roles, etc, and ended up "crossbreeding it" with my own current tactics to suit my own team. I've also made a counter attacking version of it and just thrashed Chelsea with it. Might post it to the Workshop if it keeps doing well. Cheers again dude.
swestlad 27 Mar, 2014 @ 2:10am 
i tried this as blackburn won the league and fa cup but got to them prem and it didnt work as well so think it more based for lower leagues
Original Sarky 7 Mar, 2014 @ 8:16am 
Will this work with Schalke im about to start season 3?
Charialos 5 Mar, 2014 @ 4:41pm 
Great tactic but which pitch size should i use for this....short?
Dan 5 Mar, 2014 @ 9:23am 
Brilliant tactic - great for Spurs!
Sazor 21 Feb, 2014 @ 12:13am 
I love this. Started a season with Spurs, and something fucked up so I didn't play a preseason - and we still beat Arsenal 2-0 first game of the season.
Declan 18 Feb, 2014 @ 1:53pm 
Works well with united, beat Bayern 3-0.
pantani1984 14 Feb, 2014 @ 1:50am 
How do i install?
totheend0 5 Feb, 2014 @ 3:50pm 
Well, gave this a good go for 6 seasons at Everton, and yes its stable, but didn't really get anywhere. Too many games with 60 or more percent possession, but ended in draws or defeat. You expect to get your pants pulled down by the likes of Man City and Chelsea, but just didn't win enough
Pitski 1 Feb, 2014 @ 7:42am 
How is this sentence supposed to be read?

"Ball Control/Attacking Movement switching 20% Match Att Movement 80% "

Is Match training 20% or 80% ?
Maccadelic 31 Jan, 2014 @ 2:08pm 
how do i install ???
sartencilla 30 Jan, 2014 @ 9:30am 
Very stable tactic but not enough offensive football for my ManU
Shamdol 18 Jan, 2014 @ 5:46am 
not bad. a stable tactic
totheend0 18 Jan, 2014 @ 2:09am 
Thanks Nevan, will give this a go, am having 55-65 possession but not winning enough games due to lack of goals
Flip 13 Jan, 2014 @ 11:16am 
Just as an FYI, if you want to get your striker scoring more, change it to Target Man, with instructions set to "Hold Position + Shoot Less often". Then tell your wingers and full backs to "Aim for Target Man" with their crosses. Will see more through balls and general passes to feet and when I made the change with this tac and another, Suarez started scoring about a goal a game. For teams with good dribblers, can set to "Dribble More Often" as well to stop them shooting at the first chance.
Flip 12 Jan, 2014 @ 3:58am 
Just tried this tactic for my LFC team away to Man Utd in the league (2 days after I lost 1-0 away to Swansea). Played the tac with no changes first half, went 1-0 thanks to Sterling. Switched to protecting a lead as per the OP's suggestions in the second. Ended up winning 2-0 (Vidic did get sent off 2nd half though). Very happy.

Question, I mainly prefer to play with an AMC so wondering if the OP or anybody has any experience switching the DMC for an AMC in games?
KFlex 9 Jan, 2014 @ 12:52pm 
Great tactic, one question I have is, do you set any OI's at all? :)
jrpb 4 Jan, 2014 @ 9:21pm 
The tactic is pretty fantastic gets my team playing really well. But am suffering some problems with set peices. Despite doing everything I can with personnel getting aggressive players with high jumping reach all of our work is constantly undermined by the computers set peices. Any ideas?
Reck  [author] 29 Dec, 2013 @ 2:49am 
But in the mean time I wish to thank everyone for downloading the tactic and the staggering amount of love im getting from the FM community. As I mentioned before, I was shy to upload my ideas in the public domain, esxpecially to a community as bad as I remember FM being. But, this is not the case.

Thanks to everyone who has tried my tactic and a special thanks to all those who rated/suggested my tactic.

Ill be back soon!

Hey guys, sorry Ive been missing the last month. Ive been rather busy starting my actual real life coaching badges ontop of everything else. (And Ive been scouting for a few English None-league teams)

No, I have'nt updated the tactic for the current patch nor do I plan to.
The reason is, this is not just a tactic for FM. This is a philosophy of playing that will (hopefully) influence and educate any football you or your team play in real life or in any simulation. Without trying to sound too pretentious, It is a way of football not a way of beating FM tactics engine.
This is just how I understand possession based football and Id rather have my name and tactics known for their long lasting substance rather than just the latest FM patch.

As soon as I get more time, I plan on uploading a decent set of real life tactics and my interpretations of classic real life tactics for use in FM.
