As I said, similar (somewhat based on his advice on my earlier thread) to Bluetoonger's.

Direct passing, normal tackling, attacking, pressing, no offside, no playmaker, no counter and no men behind ball

Individual off the top of my head:
- DMC gets normal passing, the rest team
- DCs and DMC get hard tackling, the rest team
- DCs and DMC get man mark, fullbacks and the two outer AMCs get zonal, one of the strikers too.
- set pieces: played a bit to get all my good headers up front and bad headers to stay back.
- DMC holds up ball
- fullbacks cross ball
- AMCs get forward runs and long shots
- One of the strikers gets run with ball
- Center AMC gets through balls.

That's about it. My motivation for going with this is the huge amount of AMC-type players I have in my squad (ranging from AMC to AM/SLRC) so I had to do something with those players. WIthout a good set up front, this is useless. Also very important: the back 3: 2DCs and DMC. Crucial to get it all solid.

If you don't have the players, don't try this. Fit the tactics around your squad, not the other way round. Or evolve your squad to suit whatever your fave tactic is.

I didn't get instant success, but over the last three seasons I've won the serie A, so it is getting me consistent results there. Goal scoring dropped a teeny bit, but conceding has dropped dramatically.

Triggerusa, I have to say it is your front five that are causing your problems. Your midfield three are needing improved especially.

I also played as Newcastle and in three saesons came second twice and won the premiership once. I also won the Champions League twice in a row. I am concentrating on my Rangers game just now to finish the 30 seasons and unlock everything.

Also I did not rate Owen when I played as Newcastle. From memory you should sign Palacio as a striker and Celsihno and play him in midfield. Also from the winter transfer window in the 3rd season they are a number of talented South Americans who should assist. I think I am in season 6 or 7 in my Newcastle game so I will look at it and see if I can get you any tips.

TeeWee is right though about evolving your squad to the tactics as I played 442 for ages until there was a lack of good wingers in the game and an increased rate of good AMC's.

Triggerusa, I think to come third with Newcastle in season 1 is a major achievement considering the squad you inherit, the 10m transfer budget (approx) and where Newcastle is in real life. I also find in my Newcastle game that the top four are very strong and stay that way for a number of seasons. Keep plugging away and I am sure within five seasons you will have defended your title and also be European Champion.

Sorry have not had a chance to look yet but I can tell you in my current Rangers game my centre midfielder scored 25 goals and had 24 assists for the season.

I will look for recommendations as soon as possible.
