Thanks - that's quite a lot of goals conceded for a team finishing top!!

Could you run a LL test with this one too please?

Would this tactic work in LL? I love a 3412 shape.

Hi @knap, Currently using this tactic in Vanarama South. It's been really good attacking wise (Scored 62 in 22) but defensively its been a bit vulnerable (conceded 33 in 22). I tend to concede late on or with one of their only shots, which is quite frustrating. Only had 4 clean sheets. Any ideas/tips on how to make it a bit more defensively solid? I've tried lowering the mentality and putting the DMs as HB. I've also lowered the LOE to a mid block. As well as making subs to freshen the legs up. Is it just the ME?

Hi @knap I'm using the possession based 451/41131 with Saints with great effect. However, I'm struggling when it comes to conceding, especially late on. I've made subs to ensure fitness. And I've also taken your advice of lowering mentality, putting DM on D and WBs on to S. But no real changes. I know you've got a 451 Control and 451 Defend but they still seem attacking in terms of mentality. Which would you recommend? Anything else I can try? Also, when would you look to utilise? 60/70/80 min mark?

Any hints/tips/tricks to stop conceding goals? I'm winning games and dominating, but also concede far too many. I can be 2/3/4 up, and they will always score with their first shot late on.

Which tactic is more possession orientated? Any 433/451s?

Best 3 at the back for a newly promoted team to Prem?

@knap Legend, thanks so much. Really appreciate all the work you do. Set Pieces wise - the MC40 still effective?

Thanks @knap Is the re tested 451 p103 with LP a specific tactic? What do you mean by LP? Thanks again

Hi @knap, Been away from the game for a while (due to a broken laptop!) but am back now. With the winter update, what 433 would you recommend for Southampton? Thanks

@knap - is there a download link for this one? Could you put the LW and RW as IFs or IWs?

Do we just have to accept ridiculous scoring games in FM now? Or is it just me? Games are always 4-2 or 5-2 etc. Very rarely low scoring games. No matter what I do with the tactic. I'll pretty much always concede and often the opposition's only chance. All tactics I've tried so far are like this. I've tested about 4 different tactics with Southampton. I've done well, but have always conceded, on average, around a goal a game and more often than not scoring 100+ goals within a 46 game season. For me, it just takes the realism out of the game. I'd like a strong tactic that isn't OP.

Hi @knap Can you recommend a 433/451 for Southampton please. And which SP would you use to go with it? Thanks

How do you find a Team's Current Ability?

Hi Knapp, Don't suppose you have created a Pep style 3-2-4-1 formation?

Best tactic for Southampton? Looking for a 433 ideally!

Hi Knapp, Will you be creating a 3421 with 2 central AMs at all?

Hi Knap, I love a 3412 and tend to be underdog or weaker teams. I have really struggled with 3412 in FM23. Are there any in game/match recommendations/tweaks you would make, especially away from home or against the stronger teams? Are there any of the Argus versions you would recommend for underdog or weaker teams? Thanks
