A very good sweeper tactic

[MJK]

Here is sweeper tactic I used with Glasgow Rangers on my 2nd season: won 34 games, draw 4,

lost 0. Goals scored 137, conceded 41.

I also won the Champions league (1-0 against Juventus) and the league cup.

I admit that I have a great squad (Guti, Hernan Crespo, Bojan, Fernando Llorente all free transfers) and winning the scottish title with Rangers is not much of an achievement.

But still if you would like to try:

FC FC FC

AMC

MC MC

DMC

DC DC

SWP

GK

No fullbacks/wingers are used. All three strikers are center.

Player instructions:

tackling: all team

cross ball: all no

marking: GK none, SWP zonal, both DC man, DMC zonal, both MC zonal, AMC zonal, left CF none, middle CF zonal, right CF none

Have fun!

Oh, one more thing:

no arrows whatsoever

[MJK]

Damn, one more thing:

If opponent has an aggressive approach (your scout tells you) use hard tackling.

I tried this tactic with Newcastle, and it did not work too well. I guess English Premiership is tougher league than Scottish Premierleague

However, I tweaked this sweeper tactic:

FC FC FC

MC MC

DMC

DC DC DC

SWP

GK

So, no AMC anymore. Instead three DC. With this tactic I managed to climb with Newcastle to 3rd position on my 1st season. Before I started using this tactic (I used the Sweeper AMC tactic before) I was 12th.

So If you are playing in a tough league and are struggling, give this tactic a go:

Instructions for the middle DC: passing: team, tackling: team, pressing: no, pass to: r/l/c, set pieces (a): back, set pieces (d): back, free role: no, forward runs: no, run with ball: no, hold up ball: no, long shots: no, through balls: no, cross ball: no, marking: zonal.

If your opponent has three striker tactic, put middle DC also on man marking.

Also changed instructions:

all players has team passing (direct)

GK: easy tackling, no pressing, marking zonal.
