Dicko1878 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Does anyone know of a decent target man tactic knocking around? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Experienced Defender Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 One that is primarily focused on the TM or one that employs TM as a role, but is not necessarily built around him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

laxrulz7 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 4231 can work well. Try either IF(a), SS(a), IF(a) behind a TM(s) or AP(a), AP(s), W(a) behind a TM(a). I've had pretty good success with my TM flipping between those two combinations. Not really sure which one has done better for me (I'll try to look back and check tonight). I also had a bit of luck with an FM18 style 523WB formation. Not really sure if that was the TM doing well or the AF beside him, however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the basic setup: TMsu IFat W/IFsu BBM/MEZsu CAR/DLPsu/BWMsu A/DMde FBsu CDde CDde FBat SKde Instructions are very simple: I start on the Balanced mentality and occasionally may switch to the Positive (as I see fit) The only instruction that was constant is - shorter passing. Then I would only make small tweaks here and there when needed. I don't know your team and so I cannot know if this tactic would suit your players, but I was pleased with how it worked for me. I had another tactic, also using the 4123 formation, but that one was more counter-attacking and hence slightly different. And did not employ a TM.

laxrulz7 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 One other note. I've been totally unable to get my Target Man to play that "back to goal / help the build up / knock off the ball to runners" type style. If that's what you're looking for, I'm not sure how to get the current ME to do that (granted, I haven't really tried again since the new beta ME came out... and I have a guy perfect for that so now I know what I'm trying tonight I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocSnyder Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) What do you think about this one? PI: CD "Take fewer risks" Front four "Close down more" The left is too wide open...isn´t it? I thought that the DLP will help here but maybe it´s not enough... Edited January 23, 2020 by DocSnyder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
