This tactic worked really well for me.
With SUNDERLAND it started like a rocket, but you know how after awhile you 'lose games you should have won'? In the first half of the season i lost 5 games like this.
So for the second half of the season i used the Home, Away and a new version. With the new version i just increased width, reduced the d-line and tempo. This gives you more room to play. In the second half the season i lost one game and won the title with over 100 points.

The game is NOT scripted the way some of us think it is. Yes, it is annoying when you pump shots at the goal only to lose - because it's not visable as to what is wrong. However, just like the 4-2-4 you CAN adapt and out think the AI.

With NUNEATON i gained promotion using mainly the Home & Away tactic. So should i continue using this same tactic that has proved so successful for them? NO!
The home version is a good attacking tactic but that is not suitable for a newly promoted team. After 2 League both of which i lost, i decided to try and change my train of thought. I kept the shape but reduced the mentality and d-line for home games, dropped to very defensively in away games. A few games later and i'm now just inside the play offs. With each improved result my odds get better so i can start opening up slightly.
As WWFAN said in another thread 'If it happens once then shrug it off, twice then be suspicious, three times then do something about it!

I used the tactics loaded on Fm Downloads with Blackburn, and didnt seem to get much going. My friendlies went well, winning all 5, then beat Arsenal 2-1 at home in the first match. After that, 3 defeats on the bounce against Reading, Portsmouth and Everton. I used the Home and Away tactics as they say on the tin. The Reading result (2-0 away) really annoyed my chairman.

Am I making the simple error of not choosing the home tactic when favourite, or do I have to tweak this? Am interested in knowing how you all are getting success!

BTW, signed Zat Knight and Skrtel as my CB's (Blackburn's CB's cant head for toffee) and let assman deal with team talks.
The tactics you d/loaded were andysafc's take on Arteta's not altogether clear instructions. I was hoping Arteta would upload his definitive versions, but he posted in another thread earlier about starting a new game with Arsenal, so i think things must have gone tits up?. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Did you play the away formation in every away game? Did you use my updated away tactic from the other thread, or my earlier version? </BLOCKQUOTE>

great tactic though i tend to struggle slightly away from home. I am about to start using the updated away formation but wonder if you could point me to the thread on your global attack andglobal defence systems

Thanks mate. do you tend to draw a lot with this tactic? At first glance it is very rigid and effective defensively but does not seem to offer too much going forward

Ask 2ndChance about it, mate. It's surprisingly effective at scoring goals. It's a very balanced formation, mate.

This doesnt make sense, i havent seen one bad comment about this tactic however i have tried it about 20 times on the exact same fixture am my team fails to win everytime, i was 4-1 up with under half hour to go at one point and didnt win, i dont understand why their are bugs in these matches that just wont let you win, its so annoying ive been trying for an hour!
