timcliffsmith Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Hi there, just wanted to say that I'm very glad I found your tactic. First, I should explain that I like to play FM in a particular way. I like to put players in their favourite positions and roles. This isn't a hard and fast rule, but it does guide my tactics and formations. That being the case, I'm always searching for a flexible tactic that allows me to keep the basic team instructions even I switch player roles and positions around. I was playing my own 343 mid-block for quite a while and having good success, but then, no idea why, it just stopped being effective. So, I was looking for something else. I tried your base tactic and immediately started annihilating teams, just steamrolling. So, I nerfed it. I removed all the player instructions. Played for a while like that, but it was very hit and miss. I then realised I had not applied the OIs. Since adding those in, it has become soooo much more stable defensively. I hope I'm not getting ahead of myself, but looks like this could be the one for me. The games are still tight, so you have that satisfaction when you score. I also experimented with the a DM/CM/AM (in different roles) and DM/DM/AM, as well as two DMs and two STs. They all seemed stable. Early days (only played about 7-8 games) but it's looking good. Thanks again. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timcliffsmith Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Thanks very much. I assume you added this because you think this will also allow me to be flexible with positions and roles without OIs? Well, I'll give it a go. I'll switch to it if the other one isn't working. What I've found with the other one is that it can go quite a while without creating much, but it usually fashions at least a few decent chances. I like this, can't stand overkill tactics. Playing with Cardiff in the second season. Only switched to yours in the run-in. Now second season. I did get 84 points, but you had to get 91 to get in the play-offs. Three teams got more than 100. Crazy! Cheers. I'll let you know how this new one goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggie1979 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I need a formation to use. To face the mighty PSG. In the season opening Trophee Des Champions.

timcliffsmith Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 (edited) Hi there, just an update on my version of your tactic. It's my second season with Cardiff in the Championship, so as you can imagine, only a couple of signings, and it is going unbelievable. Just to remind you, I took off all the PIs but kept your TIs and OIs. I do slightly mix up the positions and roles, depending on my players, but have largely stuck to balanced and the 2/6/2 split for Def/Sup/Att. The results are great, but what I'm more impressed by is the balance of the games. We rarely score more than three, but the defence is just sooooo good. Look at that defence! Never known anything like it. Yes, a few crazy games, but in general it's a shock if we concede. Absolutely love it. Here's my latest team...yes, this is a largely changed team because I have the Carabao Cup Final coming up, but still, look at the stats for the game against Blackpool. Anyway, thanks again. Having a great time. Edited July 22 by timcliffsmith 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggie1979 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Just finished my season in Ligue 1 with Auxerre. Won the Double. Europa League and French Cup. I beat PSG away, and drew with them at Home in the League. Went the season in the League un beaten. But still finished six points behind PSG for the title.

Baggie1979 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 @Meraklija VujevicI think playing one formation at Home, and more defensive one away, works this season. Currently un beaten in Ligue 1 with Auxerre. Top of the table. Already beaten PSG. Won the European Super Cup. Top of my Champions League Group. Ive beaten Real Madrid along the way. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timcliffsmith Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 (edited) Just a further update. Your tactic is basically too good, even with nerfing it by removing all PIs. That being the case, I've tried to further nerf it by changing to three at the back. Still having great success, but I feel it has made it a little less good.
