Triggerusa39 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I have always struggled on FM and im sure it because i just use plug and play tactics. I build my own diamond formation with Inter. That worked well. I then found teams played a 352 against me. So i used a 4222 against that. My question. Do you play a shape, against certain formations? Ive found success below - 433 - play a 4312 352 - play a 424 4231 - play diamond Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to go with a back three if im facing a formation with a two centre forwards, or two centre forwards with an AM behind them. Its more a case of tweaking the existing formation with instructions and roles though in my case. Itll also be very team dependent and what my players can do. If my primary goal is stopping the opposition because most weeks the opposition is better than me, thats different to being favourite to win 80% of the time and having to be wary of their threat even though im dominating the game.

EnigMattic1 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Lately, I have had a flat 4-3-3 with wingers as a base. If the opposition plays with an AMC, I will drop the middle CM to the DMC slot and play a 4-3-3 DM Wide. However, if the opposition doesn't have an AMC, I will move my middle CM up to AMC and, effectively, play a 4-2-3-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a back 4, 2 centre backs with a half back in front be considered? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to play your same tactic in most cases and then just account for the challenges the other tactic poses by making changes to roles and duties and your team instructions.
