Bcfclee27 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Using Fighter V2 and in my second season as Llandudno from Welsh league. Fighter working brilliantly, I find using fast players very effective. Just beat Spartak Moscow over 2 legs in 4th qualifying round of Euro Cup to get through to group stages (they are far superior team to us). Great work TFF. Quick questions for anyone on here who has experience with this...... Best countries to scout for wonderkid regens etc & if I want to bring through fast players into my youth academy do I select a Head of Youth development with high physical stats ?

Brutos Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Hi @Totalfootballfan, I want to say thank you for your tactics, I have tried many but yours have been so much better with beautiful football, I am managing Chelsea in the second season and started using your tactics from the start of the second season and its been great. I had a horrible start though lost 0-3 in my first match but persisted with it and now I am on a good run of form. Won 14 on the run now.

I.M.F.C Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I have to say Annihilator V1 is the best for me, even if it's archieved. Tested with severals saves, no doubt. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

will90 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Used Cerber v4 for the first time in the 22/23 season and went undefeated in the league with Arsenal.

StussyOriginal Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Cerber v4 has to be the best tactic I've used on this years edition. Finally found a tactic where my striker actually consistently scores. This is my season so far 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this test Annihilator scored the most and Cerber conceded less. I will say the tactics performance are very similiar. You'll overachieve great with both anyway. I prefer the Annihilator because I love the formation and it's got more attacking potensial. But its no right or wrong, it also depends a lot of what players you have. Like if you've many good central midfielders or attacking midfielders. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The higher your reputation, the more serious AI managers take you and the more difficult to play against them In the 1st season Watford is predicted 13th but using a very effective tactic and having a very low reputation allowed you to win EPL which is amazing results but after that your reputation significantly improved and the AI managers started to consider you as a very serious threat which greatly increased difficulty so now you need much stronger team to achieve the same result as you achieved in the 1st season Also, it might be just randomness because the weaker your compared other teams in the league the more random result you get, for example, with a mid table team such Watford your result at the end of the season might varies up to 20% which means your best result at the end of the season might be as high as 90pts and your worst result might be as low 68pts and if you want reduce this randomness then you need to improve your team because the stronger your team compared with other teams in the league the less random your result at the end of season 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's a good result, taking into consideration, the way you play and the tactic you use Also, if you play with Instant Result then you assistant manager is responsible for such thing as: - team talks - touch line shouts - substitutions so you he must have a proper attributes to do it good For example, your assistant manager has a very low Motivation attributes "7" when Jürgen Klopp has "20" Motivation so your assistant manager is very poor when it comes to motivation your team which significantly affects your results As I said when you play with Instant Result your assistant manager does many task during matches so if he's got poor attributes for it then your result also will be negatively affected Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
