ThomasHK1979 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 In all my saves I have won almost everything with 4231. The 4231 is my go-to tactic, BUT I’m tired of playing counter, pass into space and run at defence football. I know that’s whats really effective in FM20, but it just bores me now. So can someone help me with some inspiration? Formation must be 4231. But it must be a more latin style of football meaning slower tempo at a lot of creativity and a lot of goals chances. Thanks!

Experienced Defender Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 You seem to be looking for a plug'n'play tactic of a certain kind? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Just others experience with the issue. I have only played FM for 3-4 months and have only tried (and had succes) by using Knaps Plug and Play tactic. So looking for others experience.

The question is rather if it’s possible to be as successful with a slow tempo and high creative style compared to high tempo and high pressure aggressive style as the match engine clearly promotes this type of football.

Feddo Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) It is. I'm playing a slow tiki taka style of football with arsenal atm. I have trouble playing the bigger sides and will use counter against them. But other then those matches I win all most everything, 5, 6 or 7 goals have happend a couple of times now I do play with 1 dm and 2 cm or 2 dm and 1 cm/am though so not a 4231 Edited July 25, 2020 by Feddo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feddo Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 https://ibb.co/D****47 I do change the roles if I feel the opponent has a certain weakness I can exploid or a strength I need to counter. I also tweak the TI's a bit for those reasons. I rarely use any PI's other then giving a certain player a width instruction for again the same reasons. I change the role or duty for 1 or both backs for defensive stability down the flanks, the same can be said for the width of the defence (either via TI or PI) I change my dm settings for defensive stability through the middle. Maybe even switch to a 2 dm tactic. When I use a counter tactic I also usually use a 2 dm setup with aggressive backs. Booth CM's can change in role but there's always a more attacking one on the right. Either a playmaker or a finisher Aml can change to AP or WTM if something else is needed. I change my attacker between DLF, AF or PF depending on the kind of defence I face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasHK1979 Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hmm. Unfortunately I think that pass into space and run at defense along with Gegenpress tactic is completely overpowered this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falahk Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) TI: Mentality: standard Passing: shorter Creative freedom: more disciplined Defensive line: higher Tempo: slow A bit higher time wasting Prevent short goalkeeper delivery Counter press Offside trap on More urgent pressing Gk delivery to fullbacks PI: all shoot less often (to reduce long shoots) Gk: sweeper keeper attack Rb: fullback support Cb: ballplaying defender defend Cb: ballplaying defender defend Lb: fullback support Cm: deeplyining playmaker support Cm: deeplyining playmaker support Amr: inside forward attack Amc: trequartista Aml inside forward attack Fw: poacher Player attributes: To make this work as intended you need players with suitable attributes, all players need to have good compusure, and all outfield players need good stamina, decisions and anticipation is also very useful Gk: good sweeper keeper attributes and if possible, very low tendency to punch (this have to do with how the ME handles deflections, I have lost count on how many times I have conceded goals after the gk punch the ball to the opposition) Fullbacks: pace, acceleration, first touch, passing, technique Cb's: normally i would retrain midfielders with high jumping to play here Cm's/amc: passing, technique, first touch, vision, dribbling Inside forwards: pace, acceleration, off the ball, flair, dribbling, technique Forward: pace, acceleration, off the ball, anticipation, first touch Edited July 26, 2020 by Falahk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
