cragswfc Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Again, incredible. After resigning to stay in Genoa, I was looking for work in lower division team but incredibly not accept me. In the end, I returned to Holland with Twente was the last and the 8 games and we have placed in the top of the table. becoming more important stages such as Ajax and Groningen. I'll settle for being among the top 5. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us which 1 u using? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikester Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 yeah i am but I'm not putting any major emphasis on it, I'll just look at it as and when. Well I hope you crack it, the 41212 has been alot more successful for me than the other tactics, could do with getting a little more goals from strikers, but the tactic is the most defensively sound in FM10.

cragswfc Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 While playing the game against Bayern which I reported, the JP/Hough 4-1-2-3 can really kicked out over the wings.Especially this is fact when the opponent uses worldclass (REALLY worldclass) wingers like Robben and Ribery. They kicked the sh** out of me.^^ Edit: What's the best teamtalk-guide? Read one from Bubbabaytuna.

Alot better in defence Strikers do need to be scoring more, although they do pull out wide and sometimes put a through ball in for your other striker and score, so sometimes its nice to watch. Thats why i'm hoping that Mr Hough/JP are still working on the 41212 as I think it has more potential and far better defensively than the 4123. I'd much rather win games 1-0 or 2-0, than 5-3.

DirtyACE Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Some advice for those who want to play with the 4-1-2-1-2 but are having problem with strikers not scoring. Try using one of the 4-1-2-3 tactics instead, but take the center striker and drag him down to AMC position, then play an actual AMC or AMC/FC there. Many people did this with the Classic Original version for example, and it worked really well, plus the strikers continue to score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyACE Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Who is Gaston Fernandez by the way? He is one of the best players you can get for free in the first season. He'll easily go to a Championship team, even to League One. An amazing player for this level and can even cut it at EPL to some degree due to his high speed, flair, and good technical ability. At Championship level he should be able to get you at least 30 goals in a season, plus many assists. Use him as the center striker as he really benefits from high creative freedom setting.

timcliffsmith Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 What i noticed straight away with the team is that the defence is very slow, Most central defenders have pace and acceleration below 10, That's not good.I signed a few defenders and also tried to get a player that i know works great in the Championship, That's Fernandez on a free awesome player for that division. I also made use of the loan signings too because in the lower divisions these are a massive advantage for getting young premier stars, Most notably Federico Macheda from Man Utd, Sign him on loan and he'll probably bag 25-30 goals a season easy. Yes, Hudson and Gerrard are arse slow! For various reasons I have only just started playing FM10. I played 09 to death. Quick question - the emphasis seems to have come back on to stats more in this version. That's the vibe I'm getting from the posts and talking to mates. I like this to be honest because in 09 it was simply a case of your scout saying what star rating he was. So my question is - are people ignoring the star ratings and concentrating on key stats? Or is star rating still more important? Or are they to be considered together? For example. Dave Marshall my GK is rated 3*. He does not have stats like in Mr Houghs template for a GK. I scouted Paul Smith who does have the stats and is cheap. But my scouts only rate him as 2.5, should I ignore this and go for the stats? What do people think?

DirtyACE Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 The key stats should be considered first, but if you have an option of getting a player with those stats plus other ones that are high, then you should obviously get that player. However, you can also get away with having a really good player who doesn't quite have all the key stats, but they will make up for it with other ones. Just as an example, Gaston Fernandez, doesn't show up on any of the Mr. Hough's filters, but he is awesome in the tactic nevertheless, because some of his other stats (such as pace and flair) are so good. I can recommend a free GK by the name of Stephane Porato if you need one. He's quite solid and should do just fine in the Championship. I used him as my main GK with Cordoba in first season when we got promoted to La Liga. I also used him with Hearts to win the SPL, and with Charlton Athletic he helped me get consecutive promotions back to EPL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timcliffsmith Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Sparks, I tried your tactic for one game and absolutely mullered Doncaster away 4-1. If anything it was a bit frighteningly too good. Have gone back to Mr Houghs and JP Woodys which has more realistic scorelines. Mr. Hough, I am now a believer. Thinking about Cardiff slow defenders - before I was playing with Hudson -8, Gerrard - 9 and Kennedy - 8 and conceding far too many, balls over the top were killing me. I started again. This time I paid top wages to bring in Gaston Fernandez and he has banged in 11 in 10. BUT the real difference has been at the other end. Using your templates I looked for players - as you probably know you can't really get players with those stats to come to Championship clubs. Not Cardiff anyhow. So, I lowered the stats by one but kept the pace at 13. In the end I got in an entirely new back 5 (including keeper). Here's the thing though - J Lloyd Samuel (pace - 14) on loan for the season is better star rating than Kennedy but Fredrik Stoor (17) on loan for the season is the same as my existing RB Quinn who actually has decent pace (15). But I also brought in Iriekpen (16) on a free and Buxton (14) who cost me 100k and they are actually rated worse than my existing centre-halfs. As is Paul Smith the keeper I brought in to replace Marshall. BUT so far played 8, won 8, For 23 Against 6. Wow. I think I'm definitely on my way now. Thanks for all your help guys especially Mr Hough and DirtyACE. The era of CCFC domination is about to begin. Oooh, one more question - there was some debate in 09 about whether the computer would eventually 'crack' your tactic if you played too long with it. I personally never found that to be the case at all having played season after season with Tylerbode Tactic 9.03. Is there any such debate in 10.3?

I personally never found that to be the case at all having played season after season with Tylerbode Tactic 9.03. Is there any such debate in 10.3? There are many good players that you could bring to a Championship club. If you want good defenders, try Walter Garcia and Pablo Fontanello. Both will do the business quite well for you, at least they did for me in Cordoba. Fontanello even managed to grab 20 goals from corners and freekicks. A good DMC/MC you can get is Renan from Sao Paulo. They usually only want 350k for him but he's a very good player for Championship level and will get you through at least the first couple of seasons in EPL if you still don't have the money to buy someone better. Another good striker is Nabil Baha from Malaga. You don't have to buy him, just loan him in. Has excellent speed for this level, plus good technical and mental stats. Regarding FM cracking your tactics. That is pure myth. Always has been. Anyone who suggests otherwise is simply fooling themselves. There are plenty of players who don't even go to any great length to create tactics, but simply use the default ones, and they don't adjust anything during matches, just play as is. And they have a ton of success too. The AI does not crack your tactics, but there are variables that come into play (like in real life) that do influence your team's performance. A drop in form for example. It happens to all teams. Some, however, will say that the AI has cracked the tactic in this case. Completely untrue. Good luck wit Cardiff City. Glad to see it's finally working for you Dzeko is loving the 10.3 classic: What position did you play him at? Just curious.

I can guarantee you that your team played well not because of the shouts or the mentality you set. The shouts do not work in Mr. Hough's tactics because all the settings are custom made, even the versions made with the tactics wizard.
