im play 4-4-2 diamond LFarrows (control) and they keep switching from flat 4-4-2 / 4-2-1-2-1

- Thanks for that. Very interesting. The three games I've won have actually been while playing counter attacking so I'll keep that in mind.

I have been using Tevez on the right side with Ashton on the left but they've both been struggling so Ive decided to move Tevez to the left and drop Ashton. I need to buy someone with blistering pace in the summer to play with him.

WWFan....

As usuall a thread full of advice for all us novice managers,thanks .
I have 2 questions though,on the tactics that you use free roles on,which positions are chosen as free roles, and on the counter tactic is the counter attack ticked in the team instructions?

I shall use these guidelines in my own hybrid Socks/Crash the net/defence tactic playing Lincoln City.

Once again thanks for the thought and advice.

I have a question regarding the counter tactic you say play wide (to the extreme) with slow temp, but doesn't playing slow imply playing short?

isn't short / wide against what you said in TT&F?

im sorry if this is wrong. I've only had time to read the first two pages of your TT&F thread so im not sure if you changed your approach.

Thanks for any help on the matter :thup:

sorry, control not counter

retired_amena

Same again, but this time with the closing down settings. You said often on the wingers in the TT&F thread, but when you say rarely here are you talking about all the midfield and forwards or just the (in my case DMC-AMC-FCs)?

sorry for all the posts

Burst, wwfan has written that this new set of tactics are NOT based on Ro0, so try to put that out of your mind.

He has attempted to put together a tactic set that everyone can understand and try to get some enjoyment from.

If you are changing positions and making your own tactics from the guidelines in the set, wwfan can harly answer your questions on what to do with your own devised set can he?.

My suggestions for using an untweaked version of the set, would be to use "Control" against any defensive strategies(no arrows) and "Counter" against attacking strategies(arrows).

My West Ham fan friend has just posted a screenshot for me. He is 7-2 at home against Chelsea, who are 4-6 to win, which sort of suggests I'm right with the overall ranking.

He has now finally got it together though and gone a pretty good unbeaten streak, including a 13-0 win in the FA Cup!!


@ Burst: You have to semi-forget TT&F. Things move on. I have broken a fair few TT&F rules in this set. TT&F provides theoretical back up all the tactics except control, which needs a change. I had to do the same thing in 06; break the rules to get a dominant tactic against defensive teams. Against P'mouth, you should have used control against the flat 4-4-2, attack against the 4-1-2-2-1. I suggest you try to modify the sets I uploaded in trying to make your own, and regard DMC and AMC roughly the same way I do MCs.


@ Sam Smith: Tennis fan? Anyway, I choose the FCs for counter, the wingers for possession (I think) and the wingers and one or two FCs for control and attack. Depends a little on personnel.

When tightmarking is it worth telling the same players to man mark?

To me it seems like a good idea or would it cause defensive problems?

retired_mgavlick

I use a combination of man and zonal. Basically, the more defensive a system, the more man marking. If a player is supposed to contribute more to attack than defence I leave him on zonal.
