well, Ive not had the game long and only been a few teams when I came accross this tactic

4-1-2-1-2 from this site
Attack, Long, Hard, Yes, Yes.

I played as Inter and got pasted everytime I played, although I did win a few on Route. I re-started the game and decided to try Short passing

team

Cruz,
Malcon, Cordoba, Samual, Grosso
Viera
Camoranessi, Alex
Stankovic
Adriano Ibramhimovic.

Played well all season,

Won Serie A but 6 points - Although milan did have points deducted.

Got to Q. Finals of Champ League.....

I have now changed my team to see if more attcking players work better to create more chances.

Midfield is now
Viera
Stankovic, Nolan (or Ben Arfa)

Anyone else got suggestions?? what have others found using this tactic....what is the best Midfield they found??? what other changes did you make.

i play somone called diego buannonote (not sure if correct spelling)

and i play elery cairo at right wing

i got to final in champs league it really does work

Do you use short or long passing???

Do you make any changes during game e.g. is winning losing??

retired_durace

i use short passing

at half time i bring on my potetial stars (only if im winning)like simon ferry,ross harris and vyacheslav hleb

For some reason I seem to lose a few away games to crap teams even though Im clearly the top team?? it just seems to be random defeats which looks like it will cost me the league?? seems to be during December and last 10 games?

Do you make any away game changes???

On occasion I also dont seem to score great deal and win most 1-0 or draw 0-0???

Be warned about simply going out and attempting to pummel all teams into the dirt unless you have a really really solid defense and keeper - a lot of the more organised 'smaller' teams will be happy to let you attack them, packing their defense and relying on a fast break to get a sucker punch ....

If you think a team is playing this way then consider easing off a little and trying to encourage them forward so you get more space when you attack and also so your team is more balanced and less likely to be hit on the break.

PS> Other thing to consider is if its always happening at the same time of year is - "are my players tired at this stage of the season?" or "are my tactics only suited to nice neat summer pitches (or scruffy winter pitches" or similar ...

Iit does seem like I am pasting teams who seem to defend alot. I may try direct passing towards the later ebd of the season to see how that goes....

Ive changed to a 4-3-3- to see if that helps but it us to suit my players more -- Torres signed for me on a free.
