Ah, but which tactic to use when it's an away match and it's wet?

Yes, it is made for beautiful football. I am so glad somebody finally noticed that...! :thup:

Maybe you could add Henry, Eto, Baptista, Fabregas, Persie (monster AMRL/FC). I reckon Robinho would be sensational on the wings. Senderos (ok, not the dream cast for most) or Piqué might add 10 to 15 goals per season at the far post...

Thank you :thup:

For Barca no tweaks needed. I tried to give Ronaldinho more CF and/or a free role, but I am not sure about it yet (and if he still plays 2012 ). But I have to disappoint you: my first loss with Barca was game Nr. 23.

I think there are many tactics with longer runs and better goal ratios, but according to my experience, this one helps much more to win the key games and also the key trophies.

Hi there. Great write up wwfan! Thanks very much for your hard work.

I downloaded these tactics and decided to use the creativo tactic as well. Im Arsenal and started to use them with 26 games left. I was 4th when I started to use them, lost just 1 league game after I used these tactics and ended up finishing 2nd, just 1 point behind Chelsea.

Just a couple of questions for The next Diaby really. I noticed you used this tactic with great success for Arsenal. How did you get the best out of Fabregas? He was having a great season until I changed to this tactic, but when I did change he started playing awful. I have tried to use him in the RCM (deep lying playmaker role) and the AMC position.

Also could you clarify how you mark strikers using the opposition instructions? Do you close down always and hard tackle big target man (Crouch)? And what do you do for small quick strikers (Rooney)?

Many thanks again.

Unfortunately I went on a 10 game win streak then lost 2 and drew 2 =/ i'm back on track to win the league now but i guess i have to restart my attempt to break my record! the losses were with lots of players unavailable though or just weird games so it's all right.

I think my lineup is pretty good for your tactic though, any additions you might wanna recommend?

ST: Torres/Vela
AMC: Aguero/Vela
AML: Ronnie/Aramayo(Regen)
AMR: Messi/Dos Santoso
MC: Denilson+Fabregas/Xavi+Hernandez(Regen)
DR: Micah Richards/Ramos
DL: Marcelo/Taiwo
DC: Ramos+Vidic/Gonzalo Rodriguez+Puyol

Fernando's having a monster season with these tactics with 18 goals in 20 appearances, and Ronaldinho's got 20 assists in 20 games.

Give Fabregas some media feedback, time etc. He is almost the best available for the MC/a, and he will be the best when he matures. Rosicky and even Diaby can do equally good, at least for a couple of games. But he will never perform as AMC, especially since this AMC is a pure 2nd striker. Diaby does if retrained, but I guess that is just in my game. Vela also almost perfect. Rosicky is not ideal, same problems as Fabregas. But surprisingly great as AMLR.

Crouch I would tackle hard and close down always (except he gets fouled too often). Rooney, depending on your defence. If you play Senderos, tight and close down never. If you play the faster ones, just tight and no specific closing down.

Diaby is awesome.

I would recommend a keeper...j/k. I suppose you have a classy one. Should be good at rushing out.

Clichy is quite unstoppable as left back, somebody reported even higher ratings for Bale. Marcelo would be great as backup for Ronaldinho, one of the best for the AML role. And I would try to find an offensive minded right back too. They are all a bit weird, I don't like Alves that much, but he could be fine. Some had great success with Ratinho and even van den Borre, despite his defensive flaws. At least for the home games they could do great.

Almost forgot: Vela could be too slow for the FC role. But great for AMC. If you could get van Persie, Falcao, Sobis type of players, it would suit better.

retired_rjw13838

Those players wont really add anything to the team imo. Henry is too old, Eto'o wont leave Barca anyway and I've got better players then Van Persie (Kaká ).
I turned down an accepted offer for Fabregas at the end of the first season btw. Could've snapped him up for €25M. Probably gonna buy Van Der Vaart as backup for Kaká for my second season.

Robinho has just been added to my Galacticos list though, good call, looks awesome Imagine Robben, Marcelo, CRonaldo and Robinho on the wings

I ran through pre-season btw to quickly play my first game (Community Shield against Arsenal). I used the most attacking version and didnt switch version throughout the entire match, nor did I setup the set pieces correctly (Terry scored 22 last season), I just wanted to quickly play the match.
I took an early lead, Arsenal switched to 4-4-2 long farrow after 10 miuntes and I won 4-0, Cech having a blinder, Kaká scoring a hattrick \o/
