    FM17 Help me make Conte's Chelsea 3-4-3

    in Tactics, Training & Strategies Discussion

    Posted

    Regarding my previous post, my game gave yet another crash which has been troubling me for quite some time now. (I got like 4-5 setbacks because of that CTD)

    Replaying this time having noticed that an AMC of oppositions find a lot of space to fire controlled and powerful shots from the edge of the area, I pushed the defensive line higher.

    With the highest defensive line - I was just pissed and crazy - I defeated the crown challengers Ajax at their home 4-0.

    However the "trick" seemed not to work favorably in terms of defense against mid-table or weaker teams so I pulled it back to "Normal" and I was crowned the champions in the last game entering the finish line on a 4 match unbeaten run not conceding only once after doing that.

    Vitesse, Eredivisie champions in their 2nd season with MrMourinho's tactic, gentlemen. Applause. ^^

    Yet another nth season played in FM, yet another performance dip after winter break.

    It happens every year, every time, every game I've EVER played since which FM I do not remember.

    I got knocked out by Liverpool in Europa League, lost my title place to Ajax, having forgotten about how to win games completely. Series of draws one after another, awarding teams points otherwise I'd have crushed with ease.

    I even had opened a thread about this post-winter-break effect only to be lectured. What might I be doing to suffer a performance collapse after every winter break I have since like 10 years in REAL LIFE ?

    I am so pissed.

    See SS for Tactic's general outline. It must be the same with your most updated one.

    I don't use OI's. They undermine your tactical soundness, me thinks. 

    I tried almost all tactics here on different Mentality and Team Shape settings and your previous one was the best among them. It was shaky a bit but ever since I upgraded this season to the updated one, it worked wonders.

    Edit: I also use Defending/Attacking Corner set pieces from one of the guys here since they matter a lot - I don't remember who. It's slightly modified, that's all.

    One more thing I realised when I had this winning streak in my last save was how important it is to give good team talks and the press conferences are.  I actually had the stamina to do every team talk and press conference by my self. I just answered as realistic as possible. I think this helped me to keep my players focused and committed and avoided complacency.

    With your latest update, I've been tearing down the league and Europa League (in my team's standards) now.

    Vitesse, top of Eredivisie with only 5 goals conceded after 13 games and 2nd after Lyon in Europa League where other contenders are Rubin Kazan and HSV. I smashed Rubin with a 5-1 win at home, pulled of another 3-0 away at HSV's turf but lost heavily at the hands of Lyon with a score of 3-0.

    I'm now into the replays of Europa League matches where I carry on after sending Feyenoord home with a humiliating 5-0 win over them.

    Team have gone nuts. Thank you.

    It might be that the tactic works best with better players. I haven't tried it with another team. 

    I forgot to mention that I always use the following instructions:

    Skärmavbild 2017-01-12 kl. 23.05.47.png

    I want my players to make sure that if a wide player is about to cross, then I want them to put him under pressure and show him to the opposite foot (exceptions occur sometimes depending on the opposition players preferred foot). 

    I also make sure that my three central defenders always tight mark the oppositions strikers.

    I also have a few PI instructions, but they aren't that many.

    With my another Vitesse attempt with the tactic set to Standard & Flexible, the team managed to finish at 2nd place only 1 point behind the leaders. That's far beyond the team can achieve without any squad improvements in their first season.

    I'll give the same tactic updated with OI's like you mentioned above to see if it results in diminishing of draws.

    Thanks for the tactic. It simply works.

    Edit: With the best resulting tactic (Standard & Flexible) combined with the OI's you said you use, the team didn't manage as much wins as it did without them - finished 3rd, draws doubled. I guess those OI's made the productive wingers to act more defensively, hence making less assists.

    I am an avid follower of Conte cult. I always liked 3 defender formations with wing backs.

    So I have been trying Rashidi's and Contexx's tactics for a few days with Fenerbahce who already have a capable all-round squad to apply this. I always went on holiday until the end of the season in all cases.

    As Rashidi mentioned, it's an emulation, not a super tactic and cost me my job every time.

    Contexx's tactic had far better success, yet the biggest achievement once coming 2nd only in the league. I tried all 4 possible combinations of Standard - Control and Structured - Fluid, all lost it at some point.

    For a last take I went with MrMourinho's contribution right above and the team managed to qualify from group phases of Europa League to be knocked out by Inter who took the revenge of 2-0 loss at my home turf by destroying us 4-0 at Giuseppe Meazza. But with only this tactic, the team was crowned the champions of Turkish Super League.

    The team is the least conceding of the league with highest pass completion ratio also being the clean sheet masters of the competition.

    So, this tactic works with a team who are considered among the favorites of a league without any transfers in its first season.

    Now onto trying it with a mid-table contender and relegation candidates.

    Thanks for all enlightening posts here guys.

    Edit: Sacked from Vitesse (predicted to be 5th in Eredivisie). ):

    Edit 2: Woo, finished 6th with West Ham (prediction 9th). Two players made it into the team of the year with Simone Zaza claiming the second place of top goalscorers.

    Conclusion: The tactic needs quality players to work ?

    Edit 3: Finished 3rd with Vitesse with the tactic set to Standard & Fluid. Least conceding team of the year. Trying Control & Structured next.

    I HATE regens, so-

    in Football Manager General Discussion

    Regens are definitely overpowered. If you look at the players posted up all over the forum they are consistently notably better for their age than any player in the starting database. From what I have seen, they are too often far too well-rounded and are either generated with too high a starting CA or develop too quickly.

    I would really like someone to run some long term tests focused on positional effectiveness according to attributes vs age. Such as the number of strikers <22 with >15 Acc, pace, dribbling, finishing, off the ball, composure (I believe there are only 1 or two starting database). Change that to >17 and there are zero.

    This. 10characters.
