Hitchy Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Just started playing and I'm a bit upset that a few of the players have been downgraded this season.

wakey Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Ok people, i have busy since FM09 came out playing tactical roulette and downloading other peoples through sheer exasperation. But now, finally, may i present my OWN tactic. It is a 4-3-2-1 formation (Yep, the famous Mike Bassett 'Christmas Tree' formation) It is a fairly well balanced tactic i believe, i didnt create it to be especially defensive but since using it my defence has become tighter than a ducks arse. Pics below. Please feel free to try it out for yourselves and provide constructive feedback for me. I am especially pleased as ive finally gotten Rooney scoring. Dont worry that its only one up top with no wingers, Ronaldo/Tevez et'al are equally comfortable in the AMC role and chip in with a fair few goals. I get slaughtered using this tactic. It just leaves so much space down the wings. Any tips on solving that issue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam26681 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Anybody know good tactic for beating Arsenal? I've managed to beat Arsenal quite a few times with 4-2-3-1 Using 2 v.good DMCs (Veloso and Fazio) - a central AMC with an AML and AMR (Anderson, Mattias Fernandez and Ronaldo) - with Rooney up front. It's worked four out of the last five times (fifth was a draw). I'm half way through season three.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iskillz Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Anybody know good tactic for beating Arsenal? Although they are hugely overrated, it's not that difficult. I played a 4-4-1-1 formation, with Hargreaves dropping deep in midfield. I normally keep the width normal and tackling hard. Make sure you play midfield players who will work hard as you will need to close them down for the majority of the game. Anderson seems to do well in the AMC role, he scored a wondergoal in a seperate fixture where I defeated them 3-1 (think it was the Carling Cup final). Always show van Persie and Adebayor on to their weaker foot, close down Walcott and hard tackle/close down Fabregas. Whatever you do, never play wide against Arsenal. Fabregas will exploit holes in your defence with ease if you do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx11 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I just had to laugh at the outcome of my last two matches. First match was Liverpool in the League cup final. Went 1-0 down early, then won it 5-1. The funny thing was that i won 3 , yes Three penalties in that match. Thought that was a freak thing to happen, especially as it was mainly my backup players. So i then went into the next match against hull. 1-0 down early again, they scored from a corner and their only shot on target all match. However i then won two penalties in that match. So in 2 consequtive matches i received a total of 5 penalties, and to add to hulls misery they had two players sent of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finchy107 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 gbshjdgkzf, I use Ronaldo as a striker. I have him and Roony upfront with Ronaldo with the backwards arrow. I also make him the target man and the playmaker. He is playing amazing in the role, honestly about 2 goals a game. Im also retraining him to become an ST so he should get even better in that role!!

I have called a players meeting but still poor. Keep letting in late daft goals, was 1-0 down to Wigan, got to 2-1 on 80 mins and then Heskey just ran through everyone from the centre spot and scored. Rooney was firing them in at the start of the season but has gone quiet now Can't seem to get Ronaldo to get enough goals either. Using Lorenzo's tactic????

iskillz Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I keep Ronaldo out on the right wing to be honest and give him a free role, with high creative freedom. He's scored 21 in 40 games for me so far, i've taken him off penalties though, he's missed a few for me this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennymoo Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hi everyone, I am wondering if any of you are having trouble getting Berbatov to score?

Using Lorenzo's tactic???? i am pretty certain that it does have a big effect i did that too and for the first six months some players were struggling to motivate themselves for me fortuantely i managed to play reasonably well while waiting for them to decide to play well for u i think it might have been winning the club world championship that did it for me i won 3-0 in the semi and 7-0 in the final Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your opinions would be helpful Thanks Ken I cant say i share your problem, im in my first season at the start of february, Berbatov has made 30 appearances for me scoring 20 goals and making 8 assists. I play 4-4-2 with berba as the left striker, with forward runs often and he is a target man. He has also had a few dry spells with me for like 4-6 games, but comes back with a brace. He does not take my penalties so none of his goals have come from them. I would say tinker with your tactics, and you will get him scoring. any of your other strikers scoring?

Kennymoo Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Thanks for your reply. He gets lots of opportunities to score, but he can't seem to hit the target. I have Rooney and Balotelli who are scoring goals. I think I will give him until the end of the season and offload him if he is still not performing for me.

Rooney was firing them in at the start of the season but has gone quiet now Can't seem to get Ronaldo to get enough goals either. Using Lorenzo's tactic???? Yes, it can be a big problem, whichever tactic you decide to pick. The experience that you set at the beginning is defining. I changed from Semi-Professional - International footballer, this changed from a 4th place finish, to landing a treble! The players just cant motivate themselves to play for anyone that is less than a professional in past experience. I think it is replicating real life and the lower experience means you should start in a lower league:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sortitoutsi!! Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I'm in my second season too Italia, just started it. I had some of the best scouts in the world too because I redid all the staff etc when I created my own training schedule. I've finally decided on a settled team. -------------Kameni------------- Coloccini----Rio----Vidic----Evra Ronaldo--Veloso--Anderson--Maria -------------Aguero------------- ------------Huntelaar----------- Decided against flat 4-4-2 as this seems a bit more difficult to break down and also works very well on the counter attack because Aguero is the link man and keeps things flowing. It worked well against Arsenal in the Community Shield too and I normally play awful against the Gunners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really is getting on now, and with the likes of Anderson and Van der Vaart you already have natural ready made replacements for him. Fletcher isn't great either. You can sell him and get more than £20 million for him. So that leaves Hargreaves, Anderson, Carrick and Van der Vaart. VDV's stats do look brilliant but I've heard he doesn't really perform well. Has he played any games for you so far, and how has he played? Anderson responds very well during HT teamtalks I've noticed. I would probably play Hargreaves, who can sit and break up any plays. I'd play Anderson-Hargreaves. Hargreaves can also play very well on the right hand side too, so if you get a knock to Ronaldo you could put him out there and bring Carrick on in CM.
