well what to say about this tactic FIRSt I must point out alot of work done by a gentlement named SCM who gave me his original version of this tactic to try, I tweaked it massively and have a number of diffferent versions however this one is fantastic imho.
When looking at the tactical aspect of 08 I found that it is a total evolution from fm07 in terms of tactics a much more team based approach and certainly not buying square pegs for round holes transfer policy has worked fairly well.
you simply cant have the best players and expect them to win in this version without getting a tactic that matches there play and counters the oppositions play.
Personally im not one for 4 different tactics i like a good all rounder that will just work. I play the game for fun and not to spend 2 hours pre game working out a PHD physics equation on how to get the best out of my team against the particular formation im playing against.
for this tactic i simply took the SCM version and then tweaked it massively for season one and 2 where i made it more attacking and suited to the players i had, I removed the back arrow on the right midfielder and made various other improvements for example, however for season three it wasnt working.
so after reading a lot more threads etc and thinking about it I decided to make a five man attack / five man defend team with counter attacking. the way to do this imho is down to mentality, I have all my defenders now and the DMC on the same mentality, I then have the remaining MC and wingers / forwards on the same attacking mentality.
Previously i had proabably 4-5 different mentality seetings, different for wingers / forwards / defenders and specific to one or two players, however tbh when thinking logically i would get confused playing in a team whereby everyone had different instruction wouldnt you ? therefore i started to think more team based rather than individual based.
In terms of creative freedom I wanted my team to play fluently though so I kept the this on the same on normal setting throughout the team to hopefully cut out show boating but also let player stats do the job naturally rather than forcing them to play.
The biggest difference though is the players, for each position i have a player who is natural in that position, for me playing a natural AMC in the left MC slot didnt work as although realistically i wanted this guy to be more attacking, he seemed to get a bit lost when it comes to defensive work etc etc this might come down to positioning stats, but thinking about it this made sense he has 20 for positioning as a AMC not as a MC, so switching to a natural MC has done wonders, same with the right MC I want him to defend so a DMC here has been fantastic as opposed to an MC.
Up top my left striker is Adriano / Zigic, big strong guys who can hold the ball up whereas my right is a creative type player preferably fast who can get in the box.
i would like to start a fresh one tbh as this is getting messy, i need to research how to post images on the forum, correctly, plu my dowload link no longer works due to a server upgardw :eek: what a mess
what an absolute mess was hoping to get all this info in one post, wha a absolute muppet i am. mods pretty please can you clean up or delete and ill post again
