andysafc Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 The midfielders work best with players who close down and win tackles, not Beckhams best qualities but his attacking options more than make up for it. Although i'd be surprised if he'd come to Sunderland though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroshot Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 what number would you sugggest for pace along the backline as ridgewell has 15 ,parnaby 14 taylor 11,jaidi 11,kelly 15,sadler 13,quedrue 13,tebily 14 also birmingham dont really have a good attacking midfielder any suggestions, and they dont realy have a target man that why ii want zigic good price at about 8m.

Diggersworld Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 This tactic is golden... been using it with Northampton since when i got relegated at the end of 2nd season... I won the League Two title... I then went on to win the League One title... (first season back) and I've just finished 8th in Championship. I think my team needs strengthening a bit as my strikers weren't as much a threat as previously, and also I need a better GK... other than that though, Northampton's on the way up! Great tactic Andy, cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paggioram Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 HELP!!!! For the love of God HELP!! OK brief history I decided to test this formation with Derby after a update so first season finished bottom of the prem and relegated second season promoted as champions from Championship with 102 points OK here we go third season back in prem bottom of league not won in my first nine what am I doing wrong!

Code Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Ok the tactic is working fine for me, especially in attacking manner. But one question, is there any reason you have your DC's on attacking mentality and crossing from byline? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysafc Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Kroshot: If your in the EPL then that defense will leak goals, i would try not go less than 14 in pace, preferbly 15. Diofy is god: I would have liked to have been able to work with Beckham, make sure he's selected for the free kicks as that should bring in some goals! Diggersworld: Well done It's hard getting two consecutive promotions with any team. With some strenghtning you should make the EPL. What's your finances like? Paggioram: I would think it's between your defenders and TM. Are you getting sufficent quality for the EPL? Code: When i made this tactic i decided to go mostly for global settings keeping all the players on the same mindset, with only limited individual player instructions. So the attacking mentality on defenders is intentionally but the one defender whose set to cross from byline is accidental - it should be inline with the other two.

Diggersworld Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Well my finances are really poor my I'm managing to keep the club out of the red so far. However, I often succeed at buying in young players from Reserves of Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal etc due to my World Class ranking. I'm hoping that by staying in the Championships for a little longer that more interest will be shown in the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paggioram Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 My Target man was Luke Varney in the Championship who has jumping of 16 heading of 16 and finishing of 15 and in the champ he got 42 goals in the premiership he can't hit a barn door with a banjo I think he has one but in the league club he has a boat load. Defenders all are quite quick with jumping and heading as suggested it is Carl Hoefkins, Fitz Hall and Igor Stefanos. Just bought a Chillian 20 year old with 20's for Pace, Acc, Jumping and heading.

andysafc Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Bear in mind though that it is just very slight chances. Your TM should get goals from some corners. Krohot: That defence sounds better. When i searched for players i never used scouts i just used the normal player search then ticked the box where it says Ass Man to filter out unrealistic targets, then i'd buy the best player in there that i could get. Make it easier for yourself though... first search in a position your looking for. IE. G/K, DEF etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andysafc Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 sorry to be a pain mate what about defence The defenders i bought in after the first season were Pascal Chimbonda and Anthony Gardner (both from Spurs). Paul Scharner the season after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysafc Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 I really need a GK but even though all the top keepers like Buffon are willing to come i just can't agree a fee. I've went upto 30million for the 32 year old but still rejected! Same with every other top keeper. Other than that position i feel comfortable with the rest of my squad. No money left now though, blew the lot! First game away to Chelsea... 4-2 to us! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I found if you change your fullbacks to FWR rarely in away games it's a very useful tweak. You are much more stable in defence and will concede very less then before. This helped me alot after my away form was just terrible, while my home form was just so fantastic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grossen Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Great tactic andysafc. Decided to start a game as Barnsley (favourite team) and so far tactic working a treat. Its only early days but after 12 games i am second in the league winning 7 drawing 3 and losing 2. Not bad for a team who is expected to be relegated. Also through to the third round of the carling cup. Had some great wins along the way as well winning 5-2 at birmingham and 5-1 at home to southampton. One question though andysafc my right striker has a goal a game strike rate at the minute and my TM has a one in two record with plenty of assists. But my left striker who on paper is my best striker is yet to score after 14 games. Is this common or is it mine who is just misfiring? His performances are fine with an average of 7.14 but he just cant score. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticWiseman Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I noticed that too, but make sure he is left footed. It wasnt until I accidently put Benni McCarthy on the left with a left foot rating of strong did I notice him banging them in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysafc Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 I'm not sure that it will work for lower teams. Originally this tactic worked with Workington but tried a few similar teams with little success. It certainly works with the Championship teams i've tried it with, Sunderland and Hull. As they are quite different in quality, that means it should work for most teams around them. It seems to be working well for Grossen to with Barnsley which is excellent because no offence to those teams but there are lots of better teams in the Championship. Lets keep it up lads!

andysafc Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Grossen - Did you request a parent club from your board?

grossen Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Season 1 halfway update This tactic gets the thumbs up from me. Halfway through season 1 now and i am sitting third in the league on 41 points from 23 games, with 12 wins 5 draws and 6 defeats. This may not look that impressive but for a team that, to be honest, is expected to go down i think its a good return. Had some great wins as mentioned before but to add to that i've won wigan on pens and blackburn at ewood park 4-2 in the carling cup. Also beat colchester at home in the league 7-1. Looking forward to the second half of the season and hopefully cementing a play off spot which i would consider a great achievement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysafc Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 If you can get a good quality left footer then fine but if not it should not be to much a problem. I'm using Javier Savola there and he is right sided but still gets a goal every two games and has plenty of assists. Dioufy - you've got some talented strikers there. If Iverson is working as a TM then i'd leave him and keep Johnson as cover. I say this because Danny Koevermans looks good for the right slot. Chamagol and Dia have ability without doubt although they need time to settle. Don't expect to much to soon although i'd be tempted to try them. If you can get them playing you should cause enough problems with that attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Timer Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hi Andy Congrats on your tactic which is massively impressive given that no tweaking is required. Havent tried it myself but have been keeping an eye on the results here as they do intrigue me. My only question would be that, looking at the results from your sunderland team, and a few others who have posted, it does look like the tactic does suffer from an unusually high number of draws (at least in comparison to teams around you). For example in your last Sunderland season, you had 10 draws. No other team in the top 6 had as many draws. Do you think that this is something that could be ironed out in the tactic itself? or is this due to other factors (e.g. weakness in some players such as concentration attribute in defenders?).

andysafc Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 I don't think 10 draws is to bad as i only lost 3 games. So maybe i got a point in games i could have lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Timer Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Your right that only 3 losses is not to bad (freakin awesome would be more appropriate!) but the draws just stood out as higher than the teams around you and this just got me thinking whether this was because you didnt have the players to fulfil your tactics (e.g. during your striker injury crisis?) or whether there are certain teams and the tactics they play/players they have which proves hard to break down (the Big 4 for example)?
