Okay - Here goes, please don't rip me to bits because I'm not the most tactically astute of FM players! haha

I always play with a pretty generic 4-4-2, arrows extending fully upwards for both wide players, only a few slight tweaks here and there to the team instructions.

I wanted to try and make my own tactic for my new Chelsea save and have came up with this.

I would like to get some feedback on it, E.G. what you perceive to be the strengths & weaknesses and where I can improve on it.

Looking forward to your views.

A major weakness: WHY IS MICHAEL ESSIEN NOT IN YOUR FIRST 11? He's your best midfielder with Lampard in the game, play him. Drop Ballack or move Joe Cole to AMR and drop Nani for the time being. Get a new RB as well. Drogba and Sheva are both better than Adriano at the start of the game as well.

You're playing as Chelsea, I would reduce time wasting. Why waste time so much when you're playing an offensive tactic with a worldclass team? Your midfield players have awesome stamina, i might increase CD. And good passers as well, so spread out the width.

But it's not just enough for people to judge your tactic with merely a screenie of the formation and team instructions. You might wanna put your tactic up for download or something.

Thanks for the suggestions I will take them on board. Essien is a regular starter but he was injured when I took the screen shot, all I actually did was ask the AM to pick the team to give an idea of the players I had to work with in the tactic.

I may be interested in putting it up for download, what is the best way to go about this and would people be interested in trying it?

You would have to test the tactic yourself first and if the tactic works out well, you can put the tactic on fmdownloads.net and let everyone test the tactic. Be sure you have tried and tweaked your own tactic enough though.

This looks similar to the way Schalke play IRL.

i started the game with chelsea when i first bought the game and had a simple 442 with the wingers running half way up the wings and won evry trophy 4 seasons in a row, thats not me boastin im just givin u an idea! i had ballack inmy cm and i sold essien! ballack is awesome in this game he was best player every season untill i sold him when he was 35, i bought torres and villa up front but for the 1st season i had sheva and he was class! i bought vanden borre at rb and then just bought some young players just nurture
