Sussex Hammer Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Waiting for FM 2009 I have been trying, without success I add, to design a decent defensive tactic after getting bored with my WHU V13 and WHU V Formation tactics. I was having a terrible first season with the Hammers so stopped and began tinkering with my old V Formation to try and make it better. Had some degree of success in about the 3rd game of tinkering being 2-1 up away at Boro when my keeper Robert Green gets sent off in the 75th minute. I put Matthew Upson in goal changed around a position or two and shock horror I ran out 4-1 winners!! Thinking I have literally stumbled across a winning tactic next game I tried the format again but using 11 players this time. A 1-0 win at Newcastle, followed by 2-0 away at Spurs, 5-3 win at Blackburn, 2-0 home v Birmingham, 3-2 win at home to Everton and a 4-1 victory at home to Fulham. The only defeat being a 3-0 reverse away at Chelsea and even then I had my chances. The reason why I put this on a thread is that it plays some great attacking Football with a West Ham squad which is pretty much what it was at the start of the game so I am looking forward to trying it out with some very good players. However, it does seem leaky at the back so maybe a defensive expert might be able to give some tips as to how to tighten it up. Going forward however it is great for me with Dean Ashton knocking them in for fun and even Lee Bowyer cracked in two long range efforts from the AM slot and I find him hopeless in the game. You can look at the Formation and Instructions here. http://s250.photobucket.com/albums/gg265/SussexHammer/?action=view¤t=WHU4-1-1-3-1Formation.jpg http://s250.photobucket.com/albums/gg265/SussexHammer/?action=view¤t=WHU4-1-1-3-1TeamInstructions.jpg You can download from here. http://hosted.filefront.com/SussexHammer It's called WHU 4-1-1-3-1 # Thanks for your help.

Millie Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 You cant use this tactic on fm09 tho can you? It will physically load into FM09. Whether it will win football matches, however... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TL Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 It's working well for my Coventry team on 09, a couple of nice away wins in the bag. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TL Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Still having a lot of success with this tactic, both home and away. My squad isn't even anything special but I'm still winning games. This is on the FM09 demo btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TL Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I don't want to sound like a broken record, but having tried numerous tactics on FM09 I always end up reverting back to this one. Even though it's made for 08 it's the most succesful for me so far. Anyone who's struggling I reccomend you try it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sussex Hammer Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Really?? God I haven't even tried it in 09. I better download my own tactic!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL>>> What player instructions do you use because for some reason transferring a 08 tactic to 09 seems to jumble up the individual instructions and I never made a note of them. Also maybe this is why it's winning. I tried it and was 0-0 at half time, olooked at my tactics and it showed this????!!!!! http://s250.photobucket.com/albums/gg265/SussexHammer/?action=view¤t=OOPS.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Believe it or not I just left the Player Instructions as they were as I didn't think to check whether they'd been jumbled up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
