JP Woody Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Here is my final tactic for FM10. Its my first tactic for the 10.3 patch. The Tactic is my take on the Dutch total football style.I decided to test with Arsenal as they along with Barca are the nearest thing to the Rinus Michels Dutch side,testing with Barca would be far too easy though. The Tactic Set Up is: 3 Centre Backs. 2 ball playing CBs and the central of the 3 a covering CB 1 DM,the destroyer in MF 2 CMs 2 supporting CMs who both create and help the defence out if needed. 1 AM. The link man and main creator. 3 Strikers,1 Complete forward and 2 poachers outside him. Results have been fantasic and the football also fantastic. Over 2 Seasons ive Won: 2x Premier League Titles. 2x League Cups 1x FA Cup 1x Champions League 1x European Super Cup 1x World Club Championship 1x Charity Shield. Im now currently testing with Boro but if you want to see my Arsenal test Screenshots look here: http://www.fm-base.c...do=file&id=2365 Im not going to bother telling you what attributes to look for but try and buy players with good creativity and Technique,also passing too if possible. USE THE SMALLEST PITCH POSSIBLE. DONT USE OI (OPPOSITION INSTRUCTIONS) I USE THE TACTIC AS PLUG & PLAY,meaning i use the same starting strategy (attacking) for every game. Im not sure how they will work for the more average sides yet but i do plan to test with some.Remember what ever team you choose these tactics encourage beautiful expressive football so bare that in mind when buying players.

DavidRicardo Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 It would be a lot more interesting to see the results you grind out with non-top teams... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dodgson Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Nice OP - well done! Would be interesting to see how you finish the season with Boro. Do you find it quite stable at the back? with 3CB's and a DM... do you find the wings being dominated at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP Woody Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 It would be a lot more interesting to see the results you grind out with non-top teams... Thanks for that and i will be when i get promoted,but ive been making tactics long enough to know a good one when i make one. Any tactic that can beat Man UTD 5-0 with 34 shots,18 on target and 10 clear cut chances must be worth a look surely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it has been pretty solid,2nd season at Arsenal i conceded 18 goals all season and got 8 consecutive clean sheets too. My back 3 was Vamaelan, Steven Taylor and Gary Cahill. I dont really get dominated round the flanks,in fact the wider the opposition play the more i seem to pound them,it dominates through the middle so well,players are closer together and passes find their target more consistantly.

Cheers mate. The good thing about this narrow tactic is the 2 Poachers will often sneak wide to find space and the AM will move into their position,it often leaves the opposition not knowing who to mark. Good luck with your Spurs save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collzy Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Reading through the posts you seem to be a well known tactic maker, and with your success with Boro at the moment and from your success with Arsenal it looks promising. I don't normally give 3 Cb's formations a try with Arsenal.. just because the simple fact I love Clichy Sagna and Eboue but you've got me interest and I might just test it. Out of curiousity how much did you manage to sell them for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiousity how much did you manage to sell them for? Eboue i got 5m for. Sagna i got 10m Clichy i got 12m I probably could of got more if id tried but i wanted quick sales. If you like them you can always re train them in positions they can play,i know Sagna can play as a striker for instance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like them you can always re train them in positions they can play,i know Sagna can play as a striker for instance. D'oh I never thought of that. Although looking at Clichy + Eboue they don't look center back standard, where Sagna could be, so I think I may sell those 2 and keep Sagna.

Mr Hough Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Glad to see you over here JP, To to let people know if they have any doubts that i have tried this tactic for a while now and it works extreamly well. I'm gonna try and make a 3-2-1-2-2 formation, Inspired from this as i like the way the team gets the ball upfront quick and my team seem to have alot of time to make the right pass. Well done JP.

Apologies, what i was trying to say was that it would be good to have two tactics when i go up to the prem just so in case one or the other doesn't work or i am really struggling so thats why i will test this one in my remaining games in the Championship.

That says to me with abit of determination and patience that you can create great tactics with just using the creater. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but do even understand the idea of this thread??? This is a take on total football. The whole objective of total football is to make the most of the talents of superior players in order to overcome the opposition. It isn't about "grinding out results". If it was that easy to do then every team would be doing it, total football is for the creme de la creme.

cas1no Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 @JP: Good result against Liverpool. by the way: I cruised through the world cup, only letting in one goal with holland.

JP Woody Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hi JP,Brilliant overall tactic - but I seem to have a lot of long range attempts ? Indeed,but you have to remember that your telling players to be more expressive,so basically your saying to them to play with freedom,so if they fancy a long range effort they are going to have one.You can take full advantage of this by buying players with high long shooting stats,or you can reduce their long shooting individually and give them less creative freedom,but i that may reduce the quality of the tactic. @JP: Good result against Liverpool.by the way: I cruised through the world cup, only letting in one goal with holland. Time to resume my 2015 West Ham save and try this out So far this tactic plays some brilliant football Pleased your enjoying it,hope it works as well as that for your Hammers save.

old gregg Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Im more a fan of not conceding than winning games 5-3 however this looks to be pretty good at the back too so I'll give it a test and report back. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice OP, will give this tactic a test and report back Im sorry but it must be okay to ask for results using lower sides without getting butchered? Don't see how I was rude or anything like that? Btw, he is currently trying out his tactic with Middlesboro. Dont' see the big correlation between superior players and M'boro? Anyways it appears to be a solid tactic. JPWoody: do you have any information regarding the effectiveness of the tactic in other countries than the UK? Am thinking of starting a new game with Valencia using your tactic. Cheers mate.

JP Woody Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Finished the 1st season in the Boro Test. Went very well finishing Championship Champions with bar far the best defensive record and goals scored record. We also reached the semi finals in both the Carling and FA cup. I never used any Opposition Instructions or touchline shouts and never tinkered with the tactic once. Lets see hw i get on in the Premier,the big test.

Steve009 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I've just used this tactic for the 1st time. I am currently playing as Nottingham Forest and have just got them to the Premier League in my 1st season. I was certainly struggling to say the least but then i started to employ your tactic. I dont have any other results to go on but in the 1st game that i played using this tactic (away to Fulham) i was mightily suprised to batter them 5-2. It certainly looks the business and will carry on giving it a go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dodgson Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I'm trying this in a new save as Spurs - 1st season. 11 games in and I'm 3rd, 2 points behind the leaders Chelsea. I beat Chelsea at my place 2-1, beat Liverpool 2-1 at anfield and beat Man Utd 2-1 at my place too - tactic is producing lots of chances and looking more and more stable as I progress. Will update again when I reach 20 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
