Default 4-4-2 Diamond - 5 Premierships in a row and counting!

This is gonna be very plain but I just want to abide by the rules... wow it feels weird saying that.

Formation



This tactic may have a counter atttacking feel to it, but, generally, bar adjustments, its a tactic that will attempt to control the game, if going to plan that is. Could be argued it is a heavy pressing tactic as well.

Team Instructions



Player Instructions

Hmm.. Not sure what to do here really. One of the strikers is on free role, for a Rooney-esque player. There are just lots of little niggly changes. The easiest part to explain is the mentality which is using the rule of two, with the DM starting in the same place as team mentality.
If you thinks its best to post pics of each position just say.

Home or Away?

This is another grey area. The tactic I am going to supply is just one, I do advise dropping down mentality,width etc. depending on the odds. For example, if your confident increase tempo and mentality to crank up the pressure. If it isn't working change wingers, drop back one of the strikers, and so on. Whatevers needed, really.

Players

As mentioned earlier a Rooney-esque striker is needed for a free role striker. The AM should be technically gifted, but it isn't vital. DM should be strong in the tackle and have at least decent passing ability. Obviously good wingers help the tactic, but, again I do not believe they are vital

Track Record

Now as mentioned earlier i've won five (oops make it four) titles on the trot. Admittedly I have on the odd occasion restarted, only on games I find frustrating, like DOncaster in the FA Cup! Yes Doncaster (in League One)! On the back of a 5-2 riot against Chelsea at Old Trafford. Now I'm sorry but I feel it can spoil the game. Does this really happen in real life?

Anyway here goes:


Well, might as well say five titles. *Note* Perfected (in my eyes) around 2008 half way through.


Well here goes, hope the pics work.

No offense intended but how is someone supposed to take this tactic seriously when you've admitted to cheating

I know what you mean, but, at the end of the day i'm attempting to delete the phase of you can't have done that blah blah blah. Im saying yeah I cheat on the off chance, ON THE OFF CHANCE, not to make sure I win every game, which when you look at my results(i'll poste em if you want this simply isn't the case. So what I cheat when, for no apparent reason, a league one or two side, using the same tactic as Chelsea beat you, even though Chelsea can't.

TBF, it's not like you can say it does happen irl, because it dosen't. Look through the history books and tell me how times a top four top league side is beaten by someone in the lowest professional league. 'Cause I bet you won't find alot.

At least I can admit to the off chance, but I Dont cheat every single game, unlike what we are led to believe about some of the 'better' members of this forum do. Oh, and Im very aware that you shouldn'y always believe everything you read

Why oh why cant we edit our posts?

Just wanted to say as well, looking for any tips as much as anything. The five titles with Utd is just an attention thing as much as anything, and am trying to find what is suggested for changes to this when using with smaller prem sides, in particular

Mate the fact you have restarted is basically going to put people off of your tactic .

of course a top league side can be beaten by a minor club, so what you say is really rubbish.

i think that you have lost the chance of getting any feedback og the tactic now, because people just say you restart anyway..

sorry mate.....
