RDF Tactics Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) First off, may i apologise to those who have supported my training guides and shared tweaked tactics. Also apologise to those who were waiting for me to reply to there questions I have decided to remove my content for the time being (if i'm still allowed here) due to differences with Moderators and SI Staff. i was banned on the 26th April due to have a previous banning. My ban previously was because of bad behaviour. This ban was a warning because of my previous ban. Makes sense? yeah exactly. I was given an explanation and in that explanation i did no wrong doing. i was banned because the mod assumed the thread was going in the wrong direction. Today, i wanted to make a complaint only for the SI to tell me i already have made a complaint (which i haven't) and that they were happy with the outcome of the ban THOUGH this ban was no explained to me when it was given. I was then told by the Moderator that he had a headache, the reason why he couldn't write the explanation but was well enough to issue a ban. i broke NO rules but still, received a ban. Not that my content is valuable to this site, but I care about the work I share and I'm passionate about it. So therefore, if I can not make a complaint and SI staff are happy i was banned me for no reason other than because of a ban before, my content should be removed as it's clear this forum has no regards to my feelings what so ever. I stay up all night to help and share work, and to get treated like this doesn't feel nice, specially when i just want to help people i hope people can understand my frustration. thanks guys.

Against big teams, and if you have the right players, you’ll always have a chance as they’re so offensive and leave gaps on defence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulspursfan Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Thanks for this tactic, really enjoying it first handful of games, playing great football and the big chances falling to the strikers which is nice. what sort of players do you look for in the different roles? for example really offensive fullbacks? Fast pacey strikers? The BWM - just a bruiser tackling and keeping it simple, of someone who can ping a long ball too? Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

solounamigo Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 So far so good Liverpool destroyed us at the Anfield Road, but well we all know that Liverpool is in this years fm one of the best teams @RDF Tactics Actually I'm using the tactics like that: HOME TAC - At home & away vs everyone except of the top 7 of the league (for away matches remove "get stuck in") HOME BIG TAC - At home only vs the top 7 of the league AWAY BIG - Only away vs the top 7 of the league Ist that correct in that way? Another question: What are you using in your CL matches away? Actually I'm using AWAY BIG for all CL away matches, because I think there are the best teams of their leagues in that cup And: Where can I check the oppositions team if they are using AF as striker? Would be awsome if you could share a screenshot for that; I already checked the scouting report before the match, but there's only the formation without the roles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be awsome if you could share a screenshot for that; I already checked the scouting report before the match, but there's only the formation without the roles i explain how i do it before but i will go more into details. firstly. make sure you hire a good scout with high tactical knowledge then make him do opposition reports. also have good data analysis then, these two screenshots ^ are how i judge who i will set up away from home. This manager playing mentality is balanced, my scout also says he sticks with this home and away. so i leave mentality on attacking. If manager plays cautious, defensive or ultra defensive, i play Control mentality. If manager plays Adventurous or Attacking then i stick to attacking and changed attacking width to this if i am predicted for easy win away from home, i leave "get stuck in". but if its not easy win, "get stuck in" is removed for away games. At home, i always use the original tactic. if playing Lyon, PSG or Monaco (the big teams) then i change the attacking width to this away against BIG TEAMS. against PSG, Monaco and Lyon (the big teams) i changed mentality to cautious and attacking width to narrow, drop DL line and removed "get stuck in " from TI and from ML/MR position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUnderdog Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 @RDF Tactics A question about your Big Away tactic.

Sith Lord Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 @RDF Tactics Really intrigued with this, I am going to try with Toulouse. Low media prediction, little money but good youngesters and I watch the extended highlights so should be a good test/challenge. What would you recommend with the friendlies before the season starts? I usually mange them on fast commentary only as I think (maybe incorrectly) that it starts to improve the players position familiarity. Am I waisting my time, and I am wondering if there is any point managing them using the game by game adjustments recommended. Thanks, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is good to get your team morale up. Or you could risk it and play bigger teams at home and hope to win, that’ll boost morale quicker. But I use instant result so all matches I skip. 35 minutes ago, pj82 said: Anybody had any joy with this on FMtouch? It should work fine on touch.
