Im trying out your version 2 now

The other stuff I tried before was leaky at the back but my players were angry at my new signings so who knows what that was about

So reading your stuff above, do we mess with the striker intructions or

I dont want to make it suck :eek:

retired_rosado

been using your away version for the last 3 matches i have played away from home and it appears that i have no defense.

I have been beaten 5-0 by arsenal 5-1 by west ham and 5-0 by aston villa

this is with leigthon baines DL, Richard Dunne DC, micha richards DC and lastly Trabelsi DR.
I had Eddie johnston as TM but he has done next to nothing for me only scored 2 golas in 13 starts.

I have watched the matches and it seems that every time the opposition goes forward they look like they are going to score, if the hadnt put so many wide and over im sure all 3 games could have gone to double figures.

So any advice how i can change this, (also the home version as started to give me HEAVY defeats at home to teams i should beat(but that might not be helped that my only fit strikers now are vassel and ishmel miller)

Deadly. Do you use any opposition instructions for this tac at all for either the home or away tactics?

If so can you recommned any?

Its fine as it is, but you can try doing other stuff to improve it for your player individually. Its simple, if its working fine leave it alone if your having trouble, try to fix it :]

What I have found is that your teamwork between players is a BIG issue for my tactic. In my original games that I showed above, I had just a few changes in the offseason... and normally only one change to the defense: Alves in Arsenal, AVB in Portsmouth and none in Valencia. I just started a new game where I changed the whole team around with Arsenal. I got Alves, Terry, Corluka, and Baines (4 brand new defense) and found I have leaked a lot more and had a lot more losses than before.

Therefore, I have noticed that just like every other tactic, it cannot alone decide your faith. You have to play the moral, teamwork, and other extras in the game out to ensure success. That's all I can think, otherwise maybe your defense simply isnt good enough for the PRM.

As for Eddie, are you playing him in the correct spot (the right of the two strikers) and have him listed as Targetman in the list? If you notice that in most games he has less than 10 header attempts, he is not listed as targetman. If you notice he only wins half or less of his headers, he is tired or injured. Otherwise he should win more than 75% of his headers.

Crew: I did not use any, but the popular ones such as closing wingers and putting them on the wrong foot may help. Marking tall strikers closely and fast strikers loosely may help as well. Try reading some of the tactics from such people was wwfan for more information about OI's.

i did have him set up as targetman but just double checked the list and he is no longer on it so that might be why :-)

And as to my defense i think its a combination of richard dunne and trabelsi, as dunnes AvR is down in the low 6's and trabelsi just seems to make to many mistakes.

Will try onourha and richards in center and sun jihai at right back. and see how that goes.

And pray to the god of FM that i get a striker back from injury( 7 strikers and only 1 fully fit now)

Elf: I suggest you try getting Anthony Vanden Borre in the next trade window... he is relatively cheap and a GREAT performer. He can also play all over the defense (except the left side, but you can train that too) quite well, as well as defensive midfielder.

Glad to see it wasn't poor Eddie's fault! :p

Good luck

retired_rosado

he was first person i tried to sign and he had no interest in coming to me, but if i hit a steak of good form i might scrape a uefa cup place.

As for eddie when he came back from injury his stats had dropped considerably but there slowly going back up.
So far he has done 20 games 9 goals 10 assist and a average rating of 7.65

retired_kathryn0628

You should try again after mid-way through the season, espically if you are not viewing the Belgium leagues (or playing them), their players tend to become more willing to come to active leagues, or so ive noticed, after a short while. I normally don't buy any other defenders as I prefer playing with Arsenal, who have a great back 4, so I can't help much their.

Any player with a 7.65 rating is good :thup:

Worked great for me, won promotion to the Premiership with Southampton. I would attach screenshots if i knew how.

retired_rosado

And eddie johnmston played well but not as great as he does for everyone else



A new defense and some better players coming in soon so all looks good for next season.

One problem i have noticed with the tatics is the dreaded formation that man utd and liverpool always use 4-2-3(amc)-1 neither formation seems to do to well against this, but from reading other post in other tatics its almost liek a computer supertatic :-)

So im gonna give ur tatics 8/10 for midtable teams well done
