Alpine

Just got back in.

Anyway, would I be alright to create a thread, in which I say I tried to re-create this tactic fom your idea, and give screenshots of all player/team instructions, then say how I get on.

My first match using this tactic:

Chelsea 5 - 0 Newcastle

ps. I am newcastle

but i heard it takes some time for players to get used to tactics... so hang on Man Utd next :O

Even so you shouldn't be loosing 5-0, this should be one of the most solid tactics there is due to you having a back 5 when you loose the ball. What team and player settings did you use?

I've got mine just about right I think, I'll check when I'm home later. I get plenty of numbers back and when I gain possession I break as a unit of 7-9 . The play is excellent as its a very counter attacking formation, its just the instructions for me what need slight tweaks here and there.

cleon could you please tell me your player instructions for your strikers because i am finding it hard to get goals. thnx in advance.

The central striker is set up like a targetman so he can hold the ball up and play the AMC's in. He also scores a few too, well for the minute anyways. I think hes got 5 in 10 and the back up as 4 in 2 games. And the outer strikers are given freeroles, the left one has scored 4 in 10 but the right 1 only 1 in 10. I the right side is a problem for me at this point and something I need to work on later.

Me too... I get 85% tackles won and just lost 1-0 away to Bolton due to a penalty. But I only got 5 shots and only 1 on goal. Dont seem to get anywhere near the goal and tried using Viduka as targetman but he's injured now. And Martins is locked in between 2-3 defenders.

You playing on the counter attack?

KeriLynn

Yes on counter ... just moved Paulo Negro up a little with a farrow from CD to DMC to lock onto the AMC's... but pass completion is still low... 55%.
