knap Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 It is just a normal save, there is nothing special. Start unemployed, holiday to 1st game of season, and take over any club. The test league is modified to test tactics against each other, and I leave that to others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scwiffy Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 This tactic is working wonders for me on my Monterry and Brighton saves. Better than BlueMatter or 433 on any of my other saves, and more fluid than any of the strikerless tactics of last year. I use a tweaked version of Volante-Anchor (pulling on of the F9 to AM-A) for bigger teams or when teams are the bus, other than that its Midsomer all the way. Most importantly I love the way it plays, with WMs and F9s folding in and out of play nicely, and beautiful crosses from WBs (been a while since I've had a nice tactic with crossing). CMs don't feel incapable agains 3-man midfields (442s weak point). Only weak point for me so far is the WBs bombing too far forward and getting caught out, this can be counteracted with S or D duty but it definitely takes away from the attack. I suspect quick WBs with decent mentals like Work Rate etc could also counteract this. Thank you Knap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scwiffy Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Ran a little dry in my Monterry save but have now won 4 titles using a hybrid of Midsomer and Volante (simply pulling down CM-D to Segundo Volante-S). Tried a few other tweaks but only one that has stuck is changing ST-R to a Complete Forward on Support. That tweak drastically improved my strikers performances, F9 has more space and CF-S is a more spearhead outlet for crosses, also finding space out wide occasionally and supplying crosses (this striker needs half-decent Jumping Reach and Anticipation). Since that tweak I haven't had to change anything and results have just streamed in! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huseyinbayram19 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) @knap I can not speak English badly I can make a classic 442 formation with the target man and the wing playing in the middle.

knap Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Target man and winger roles do not work that well, and underperform compared to other roles. In general Tactic roles are more important than roles given to players. I do have a Volante 442 with a Target Man which is a 92pt tactic !!FM18MMVOLANTE442KnapP103TMPOACHP92.fmf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heywood JaBlowme Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 knap, I've been using a 442 from 18.2 pretty much exclusively with great success. I must be blind, I can't find it posted here anywhere but here is the tactic as you named it: 5a6e21119d8b7_!!FM18.2.2MM442KnapP100.fmf I'm coaching AC Milan with a quality squad. I dominate Serie A and win most CL matches except against top clubs and coaches in Europe that give me trouble, like Mourinho at Man U. What 442 tactic(s) would you currently recommend against the toughest competition? One using Volante? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
knap Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) In OP 2nd tactic as been updated to 18.3. Volante is based on MM 442 but more defensive, and Anchor being most defensive Edited March 19, 2018 by knap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crew2 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Knap - Which would you say is the best of your tactics for Everton? I tried Ash but didn't have much luck and quit after a few games anyway. Also are any of your tactics lower intensity? I know high intensity works great in leagues but I tried ash during the world cup and my players were almost dead from match to match and there is no option to rest them as an international manager. Although it did work great and got me to the final but my best players were unable to play in it due to tiredness and Brazil scored a lucky goal.

knap Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Can game manage like a SUS and wind tempo down, drop to control. BLUE MATTER and Volante and MIDSOMER 18.2 are not high intensity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crew2 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Thanks Knap I'll give it a try. How about Everton? I'm guessing an underdog tactic? Edited March 20, 2018 by crew2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

knap Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 The latest is always 1st tactic in OP, but you need to change it from attacking to counter.
