[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

right guys been away for a week now so i'm going to try and get some fm time over the next few days

currently 8th in prem after 20 games. will update when I next load it up

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

second season in the championship got promoted so thats 4 seasons and 4 promotions (nearly 3 in a row)

started first season in prem on fire

and my current squad is

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

just use counter attack rather than control

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

im not just the standard setup

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

Finished 5th, first season in championship - got newcastle in play off semi and lost 3-0 over both legs

newcastle then beat boro in final 3-0

Now I can build a squad for promotion next year hopefully

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

excellent going there, undefeated all season is pretty impressive

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

ok i just try and get the basis ones in really

Full Back - Tackling, Pace, Crossing

Centre Backs - Strength, Heading, Jumping, Tackling

Wingers - Pace, Accel, Crossing, Dribbling, Flair

MC - Tackling, Nat Fittness, Stamina, passing,

SC - Pace, Accel, Finishing, Composure, Flair

these are off the top of my head as the game isn't loaded atm.

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

maybe its not a top team tactic? I honestly have not tried this with any other team as of yet - so cant comment really, time will tell when I get into the premiership.

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

Now in play offs after 26 games.

Now starting with counter attack as my squad is not as good as others in the league so cant take the game to the opposition as much, if pushing for a winner I switch back to control - has worked a few times with success

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

yes i do, i let my assistant do team talk and Opposition Instructions.

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

Good to see everyone is doing well with it

10 games into Championship I am 10th as the rapid progression has meant i have some players in the squad that are not quite good enough and have not been able to bring in replacements

anyway its still a solid start, the defences of other teams seem quite a bit better in the championship.

I love the 4-2-2-2 formation, used it for a while. Albeit slighty different tactics and roles to yourself. Fantastic results wiht Rotherham there kutgw.

cheers been working on an attacking 4-2-2-2 formation, tried with normal centre mids to start with one defending and one supporting but that didn't work so went a touch defensivly.

also on fm11 width seems to be important, as the crosses conversion is quite high.

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

Jamesh2k How good is this tactic defensively out of interest as I'm working on my own 4-2-2-2 and am having difficulty getting the defence right so was wondering how is your defence with this tactic???

defence is solid as the centre mids have defending duties, the backline is untouched from the standard setting and it seems to be doing ok.

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

how about then doing the same next year? currently 12 point clear at the top in league 1 with more a less the same team.

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

cheers mate, i'm interested to see if it works in the conference.

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

same home and away.

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

cheers for feedback, glad you are doing well with it

Currently I am 3 points clear at top of league 1 with Rotherham after 20 games, could I do back to back promotions with this tactic.

[4-2-2-2 With Rotherham 121 Points, 120 goals]

also an update on how im getting on in lge 1

P15 W9 D3 L3

still playing the tactic exactly how it is on here, brandy and le fondre still killing teams, im probably looking good for at least play offs if I continue playing like this all year
