FM 19 Beowulf 4231 4411 and 4141 Knap

[knap]

I am not aware of any ME changes from 19.2 to 19.2.1, as tactics  performed the same pre and post patch.

[matsk89]

hey knap i have issues scoring... a lot of chances but no clear cut chances and often losing by 1 goal while having 28 chances / 10 on goal. Opponent has just 3 or something...

 

Any tips? Also the striker isn't very productive in my game... is it in yours?

[knap]

What side are you using?

Which tactic?

Are you using AM for everting except OIs?

The DM Tactic cab be awkward to make work, even with top sides, and it is easier just to use BEOWULF 4231or TIME 4231/

Going to try the TIME 4231... Bought a few good players for this setup so sticking with it this season

[RasmusBolin]

Hey @knap

Have using the BEOWULF 4231 for my first 2 season with a danish team (Slagelse) who start in the 3 best division in Denmark and it made me go promotion 2 years in a row, which is very fantastic (and surprising). Now in my third season in the danish superleague the tactic still works great but I'm conceeding goals every game.

So far I'm 8 games in the league, number 5 in table with 14 points (Won 4 - Draw 2 - Lost 2) and the goalscore is 18-17. Can I change anything? Or is it just beacuse I'm a big underdog team maybe? 

I have think about trying to use TIME 4231 (That with F9 striker). Is that tactic better defensive?

[knap]

Have a look at TIME 4411 and  Oxford City posts at end of thread.

[ardat]

hi guys i have a problem with scoring, my attacker doesnt scores at all ... i use beowul 4-2-3-1 104p i have wolves and my attackers are gouiri amine, fiete arp . ofc i win the most of the matches but i am curious.

[Chief Scout]

try time 4231 P106

or maybe try pressing forward instead of AF but I don't usually tweak Knaps tactics. Its just to see if it is the role or just the striker that doesn't fit into the tactics.

[knap]

This is a minor tweak to Beowulf 4231 which adds a little bit of defensive stability maybe for sub teams.

[knap]

The levelsstriker should score but will not be that high

[Rastoioi]

Ow looks great scores 136 - 19 . Do you use which tweaks bro ? Throw Corner Freekick ?

Edited December 24, 2018 by Rastoioi

[frain74]

Can you do an updated list of top to underdog tacs? Also which is the best overall attacking tactic? 

[knap]

The only tweak is DLP from S to D. Easy to do at any time but may be a good starting tactic with weaker teams,.

[lackow93]

what can i do against lot of AI direct free kick goals. Its really annoying when enemy no chance to score but 1 freekick 1 goal.  Thank you for helping  

[knap]

the only defence is not giving the foul. TIME tactic may be less aggressive regarding tackling.

[Chief Scout]

Knap, beowulf 4231 has proven highly successful in my championship season.

Is there any chance you could create and test beowulf 4411, which would be the same as beowulf 4231 but instead of IF's that cut inside there would be inverted wingers cutting inside, making room for WB's on attack to bomb forward?

[knap]

I had an injury during a game and had to use my LB at RB, and noticed he was cutting in and also scored. It may be just a case of having the wingers inverted rather than changing roles.

[Chief Scout]

Maybe just a coincidence but in my next game using IWB's my RB scored a goal.

[SnowHitman]

Hey there Knap, multiple tactics to chose from, but I want to start an unemployment challenge.

 

What tactic would you recommend for a conference side?

 

Cheers

[SteveUK]

Just finished my first season using the BEOWULF 4231 P104 with Arsenal, unbeaten (I did lose one game to Liverpool but i hadn't saved for quite some time and my game crashed, so had to replay which resulted in a 2-2 draw.)

Things i noticed with this tactic:

-High number of shots (30-40 in some matches), Opposition has very few shots/shots on target.
-Dominates possession
-High number of fouls and yellows

Goals come from quite a few sources as shown in the picture.

Insane tactic

I recommend same tactics for whatever level. Most years I test in VNS and in past years played at level 10 with Frimley Green.

Hi, mr. Knap. Sorry for offtop in advance

Is it possible to make a competitive tactic without corner/set/throw-in bugs? I do really like your tactics but scoring mainly from set-pieces makes me frustrated

Secondly, how does mr. L do? Did he finish with his site?

[JD 1984]

Hi Knap  I’m having a  problem with BEOWULF 4231 104 & the DLP version.

Started a new save with Leicester & I’ve been smashed almost every game,defence is all over the place & attackers are firing blanks,I’ve not tweaked anything @ all 🤷🏼‍♂️

1st 4 games of season I’ve conceded 12 & scored only 4,also had an embarrassing cup loss to Carlisle 🤦🏼‍♂️

Any help would be greatly appreciated 👍🏻 

Sorry for phone pic just doing this quickly

[knap]

The pre 19.2 tactics have my normal set up, otherwise just reset to default.

The test league is finished by new site has not yet been set up.

[knap]

Have you got AM set for everything apart from OIs?

[JD 1984]

Yeah he does the team training & there is no OI’s,only thing I’ve set is individual training so the players train in the roles they will play. Can’t be that can it?

[knap]

What about team talks and press etc?

 

[JD 1984]

I’m doing the team talks,AM/staff doing all press 

[knap]

Can you give team talks to AM and play a few more games.

[JD 1984]

Will do 👌🏻 Liverpool next tho 🤞🏻😂

[JD 1984]

Defo picked up 🤯 It looks a lot better

Liverpool only beat me from an OG matches them all the way otherwise & Arsenal are top of the league & flying

 

 

[knap]

Hopefully will keep going

[esca]

Hi Knap, im using 4231 104p , most of my goals are from midfielder score from throw in (bug) ? Any adjustment to setup striker to score more goals like pre 19.2 ME?

[Rastoioi]

Try change to position mc and st in throw attack tactic, maybe work it

[Filer974]

thank you knap

Whats the difference between this and the P104 one on page 7?

[knap]

Mostly throws and corners  and maybe a TI tweak.

[ad3adha]

Could anyone put up the player instructions for Beowulf 4231 wide? I play FMT on switch so i can't download and see it for myself

[PhilNUFC]

How easy would it be to make a counter tactic, a deeper line and more direct play for those harder away games and to keep the game guessing with tactic variations? 

[knap]

There is a tactic called ROUTE 666.

[frain74]

is the best Underdog Tactic still Volante Anchor?

[knap]

I would say the best formation for underdogs are a variation of 442/4421/442DM. BEOWULF 442 may work well or VOLANTE ANCHOR.

Still waiting for testing to start

[whispers]

What are we doing for SUS on your 4231? Just slow down the mentality?

[knap]

Mentality TW FBs

Working good, but I got a lot of yellow cards... Can I remove the player instruction "Tackle Harder" (Don't know what it called in english in the game)?

[knap]

Not sure it makes a lot of difference to cards, as also to do with attributes hidden attributes closing down and tight marking.

Okay. Im using a big underdog team and many of my players aint really good enough for the league, so maybe it's get better when I can buy better players.
