I am going to use this tactic with my Man United game.

Here is my line up:
MAN U LINE UP

So far:

Charlton - Man U 2-0
Man U - Watford 2-2

What am I doing wrong?

I am using Ronney as target man, is that the right decision? or can i better use Klose as targetman?

Remember - players need to find their way with the tactic. Its not going to work over night. At least, it didn't for me. Was a little inconsistent. I tweaked, played around with it....the players got use to it and........FOOTBALL PIE!!! it worked.

have patience. if it still fails for you, look at where the tactic is failing you.

defensive errors? lack of balls through to forwards? etc.

urbanjunkie - very impressed with those scores, id be intrested to know exactly what tweaks you've done.

ajooba - sounds awful, not heard of any results this bad with any tactic!! sounds like u need to start again if thats the best you've done, once you're on a bad down streak and have a demoralised team then its hard for anything to turn it around.

Leandro Davide - every tactic needs time for your team to adjust and needs some tweaks, rooney is not a target man btw...a target man should be big/tall and very good in the air to recieve the corsses.

Trents - glad its going better for you now mate, keep us updated! and dont forget to tweak it around you're team.



Well i've had a couple of negative feedbacks now, but these appear to be from people expecting instant nagicial transfomations...which just dosnt happen.

I'd like some of you to investigate lowering long shots on the strikers and wingers, as it seems harder to score in 07 and i feel too many balls are going widely wide from too far out.

Okay thanx for the tips.

So Rooney isn't a targetman. Klose perhaps?

I always thought that a targetman was a speedy and short striker, very fast and doing everything he can to get the other tall striker in a position to make goals. So i am wrong?

I am now 18 in de EPL with MU, 1 lost and 1 draw.
I am going to give it another try tommorow, but i just don't think it's gonna work.

Rooney and Klose both haven't scored and did get a 5 or 6. Klose even got a 4 in the away match against Charlton.

started with everton quite well,won 4 out of the first 6 league games but got knocked out of the league cup against qpr but did have a reserve team out.tactic seems good considering my small squad and only a one and a half million transfer budget,will keep you informed

OK credit where credit is due. This tactic superseeds all others I've tried with Farnborough including:

Yeading 4-1-2-2-1
4-1-2-1-2 W.Brom Def CA
SeXy fOotBalL Eng
RoT Solid(Both Home and Away)
Cleons Work in progress tactic(Which he won't upload )

I've given the Minimal FuSS v1 a whole season now and the league results as follows:

Played 42
Won 26
Draw 5
Lost 11
For 80
Against 36

Final postion 3rd and about to embark on the playoffs.

The biggest difference in using this tactic with the smaller teams is the amount of chances that are being created. This tactic doubled and sometimes trebled this figure which is essential when you don't have world class players converting every good chance.

Not only that but the super defensive nature of the back 4 combined with direct passing seems to have solved the problem of defensive mistakes leading to goals. To let in less than a goal a game on average has been unheard of in the past few weeks.

Mr Fuss whoever you may be, if I had a hat on I would take it off to you. The first successful LLM tactic of FM07 :thup:

into my 3rd season with afc wimledon now.. after a great run i`m now 4th in league two after 11 mathces. The tactic is working quite well, very consistent, making few errors in defence.
I now have about 5 versions of the tactic, mostly with a version with slower tempo than the original. I also turned of swap position on wingers, and long shots on all players.
It was very anoying with all the wasted oportunitys, strikers shoting from 40 yards instead of passing to a fellow player in a better position.

The only problem i have with this tactic is that sometimes my team only get 50-60 % on passes completed. it helps to turn the tempo to 0.

Have anyone tried to play more direct football? in that case what tempo is best to use? i know that it shold be fast, but my players suck so bad.

Just incase anyone was itching to find out how I got on in the playoffs, I won the Semi 9-1 on aggregate against Bath City then beat AFC Wombles 3-0 in the final.

retired_EpicMetal

nice results.. congratulations. have you tweaked the tactic?

dave80

I reduced the tackling to normal for defenders as the suspensions were destroying my small squad.

Set closing down for the DL/DR to 5 rather than 12

Restricted the long shots to those who can actually shoot from distance(no-one in my team) otherwise good postions get wasted.

I also get my MC to have Through Balls set to Often

Apart from those, I've left the tactic as per FuSS V1
