sab77 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Developed this tactic 2 days ago after a rough start with Man Utd. I have now won all 16 games since. Combined a few other winning tactics from vaious forums, with my own style of play, and the result so far, has been really promising. Don't normally share in here, but this tactic seems so good, that I wanted to test it out with you guys. Remeber opponent instructions. Test it out, and let me know how it goes.

sab77 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Just beat the PL record with most games won in a row (now 15). 24-0-1 in the last 25 Only lost in the Capital One Cup away to West Ham. But played the match with a lot of reserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, have found that changing to defensive / structured works quite well against strong teams, when playing away from home. But most times, I just leave it as standard.

sab77 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Won the PL unbeaten, and topped it off with winning both the FA and the EL. Could go for the CL, but have instead decided that I want to try this tactic out with a lower league team. The choice landed on Tranmere from the Vanarama National League.

I have a month to save my job so I hope this can save me! 8 games in with this tactic and I have had 3 wins, 3 losses and 2 draws since I started and I have to say its a very frustrating tactic. Possession stats have improved a lot and I'm sure with good players this tactic could do well. Defensively I constantly leak goals; 15 in those 8 games. The main striker F9 is always getting ratings between 6-7.1 and struggles scoring. Can anyone help me improve? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sab77 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 @trickyrikki You need decent acceleration and speed on your CBs with the high defensive line. Otherwise opponents are gonna have a highway towards your goal if playing long passes... Try drawing the defensive line back a bit... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sab77 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 @trickyrikki If your striker is tall with decent jump/heading stats, try changing crosses to Float or Mixed. Maybe post some screen shots of your strikers. That way it is easier to give advice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty11207 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hi seb, gonna start my main save now with like yourself Manchester United just a couple of questions. what training do you do during pre season and during the season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sab77 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 First two weeks of pre-season I do Fitness, then one week of ball control, and two weeks of team cohesion - level normal. During the season I leave it on Balanced and and normal. Once in a while during national pauses, I will switch to Ball Control. Match preparation is always Match Tactics. I use more time on finding the right coaches for each area. It has always given me good results, especially in bringing up Hot prospects. I also put a great deal of focus towards individual training and creating player traits, that fits the way I want to use the individual. I am a sucker for micro management, when it comes to that part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sab77 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Works ok with a lower league team as well. My start with Tranmere. Have changed to defensive and structured on occasion, when wanting to protect a result, or against better teams. Remember the Opp. Instructions. Seems to make a difference.

sab77 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 First match after the update. Changed to Defensive/Structured Also doing well in the league after 23 games.

dewhirst Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I'm doing really well with this tactic so thanks for sharing it. The only thing i've noticed is that my front 4 players, especially the SS and F9, get terrible ratings most of the time. Its not uncommon for my striker to be at 6.4 by halftime. I've tried tweaking the role but its hit and miss. Any advice? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sab77 Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 @dewhirst I have also noted that many goals seem to come from the inside forwards. Maybe you could try and aim cross at centre. That might create more chances for your F9 and SS. Also you could remove the "Roam from posistion" on the F9, to try and keep him closer to goal. They need to have good "off the ball" and speed skills, with the low crosses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sab77 Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 @nubbe I won the league, but after a really good start, I had a few half-bad runs. Have been trying several different tweaks, but none with a big impact. Expecting the tactic to really be tested next season in League 2. The Defensive/Structured approach has worked really well against bigger teams, or when trying to maintain a lead. I managed to knock out Norwich from the Sky Bet Championship (3rd) with the Defensive approach. Although they did have a lot of clear cut chances...

Carninho Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Great tactic Unbeaten so far in a Nottm Forest save. 2 months in, drawn one and won the rest inc Hull in the cup, draw was Brighton away after being 2 down Goals are shared around the front 5. Not kept many clean sheets but who cares. I can post some screenshots/details when i'm at home again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamcontrol Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Been using this with a slight tweak for 4 seasons as Newcastle now, won the championship at a canter (expected) finished 10th in promotion season in the PL and then second. Switched to defensive/structured permanently has made a positive difference as has changing the fullbacks to both be FB-Support and the centre midfield to be Def Playmaker - Defend/Advanced Playmaker - support. Also won the FA cup with that setup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbie2100 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I have now played with this tactics 4-5 seasons with different teams and i am not happy, it's a good tactic with some flaws. The tactic dont work good with the Oi's and it dont work at all without them. I have noticed that the 2 CM's often get overrun the two CB's gets cought upfield, because there is no one to press the attackers and AM The two CM's often dont have anyone to pass to and will start to dribble and loose the ball. So have anyone used any of their own tweaks? i started from scratch again and used this tactics as a base. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkysrovers Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Started out with Limerick FC in the Irish First Division and had a rocky start to the league, even had the meeting with board and asked for a month. Luckily the tactic became fully fluid at the time and we went on an amazing run from 2nd from bottom to 2nd in the league, winning promotion in the playoffs. Won the Munster Senior Cup and Irish League Cup. Went on 15 match unbeaten run. Sure the tactic has its flaws, but the days of a super tactic are long gone. Really impressed with this.

Earnie is God! Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 The file is for FM17 but was done during the beta stage so was automatically saved as a .tac file, which don't work (not recognised) now we have the 'full' game. Downloading it and changing the extension from tac to fmf will not work. It has to be saved as an fmf file to start with. You can recreate the tactic using the info in the OP but it doesn't include the individual player instructions. Easiest way is for the OP to upload it again as an fmf file. Failing that, anyone who d/l it and used it during the beta stage will, at minimum, be able to tell you all the PI, if not upload it somewhere themselves.

Earnie is God! Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I've checked my tactics and, although I did have this and used it during beta stage, I now use other ones, and attempting to load it back up is unsuccessful due to its previous format. Someone will have it though, if the OP can't upload it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
