Brazil - Just tested this with my last 10 league games playing as West Ham and i have to say.........WOW. :eek:

Had been struggling for recent form, but went on a great run, which saw us snatch 4th place in the Prem.

Results

H Bolton W 1-0
A Birmingham W 1-0
H Chelsea D 2-2 (Upson, last minute og)
A Man City W 1-0
H Liverpool W 2-0
A Sunderland l 2-4 (i was 2-1 up at HT and dominated, they had 2 shots on target 2nd half and scored 3 goals, Keane praised for team talk)
H Reading W 1-0
A Blackburn W 1-0
H Portsmouth D 1-1 (I had MC sent off after 7 minutes)
H Spurs W 2-0

W 7 D 2 L 1 F 14 A 7

I'm hoping it was'nt just a fluke, so i'll explain what i did and others can try it out and see if it also works for them?.

When i played againt teams using a 4-4-2, i noticed their MC's have the glut of the passes and most have a succesful completion rate, so i used individual instructions on them. I did the same for the two strikers.

Tight Marking
Always - If their Acc and Pace both under 14
Never - If above

Closing Down
Always - Used this all the time

Tackling
Hard - At all times for these players

Show onto weaker foot
Only use this if player has one weaker foot.

Against 4-3-3 or 4-1-2-2-1 i either just used individual instructions on the two MC's and Striker, or included wingers and DMC if they see a lot of the ball?.

When the opposition went 4-2-4 at the end of the game when they were behind, i included the two winger/strikers using the above and the only comeback was in the Chelsea game and that was an uncalled for o.g.

Hope this is not some secret cheat that will be found out and fixed in a later patch?.

It would be good if others would try this out and see if it works for them too?.

Funny really, as i thought the opposition instructions part of the game was broken, or maybe it is and i just got lucky?.

Nice one - like you say, it should be obvious but actually i've not been doing it! It set me off on a 7 game unbeaten run swith stoke. unfortunately, the last 4 were draws then i lost 2-0 at home to watford. The fans have said for the last 4 games they are dissapointed in my ability to turn chances/possession into goals. against watford i had 60% of the play and 19 shots but failed to score.
So, i've managed to stifle the opposition but it's stopping me scoring even though i'm creating.
should i slow down my tempo a bit and hope for better quality chances?

It happens to me mate, even when i dont set the opposition instructions.

Opposition keepers win the MOM award in at least half my games?.

I've tried slowing the tempo, but it makes no difference whatsoever.
