As the computer constantly decides to go to 4-2-4 when behind, I thought I'd emulate it. Here's what I've come up with so far- wingers are fine in the FL/FR position (this was designed around a 4-4-2 system). It's very very straightforward but has proved very effective and won me several games after falling behind.

It utilises a big strong target man (hence the name "Bludgeon"), so make sure to set your hulking brute as prime target in the target man menu (he should preferably be the striker with forward runs set to "rarely." Also, set your biggest aerial threat to "attack near post" at corners, and your goalkeeper's long kick distribution should be set to yor target man too.

All feedback appreciated.

Please give it a shot next time you're behind in a match and looking for the comeback- am very intrigued to see if it works, as it's not failed me so far Thanks in advance.

I might give it a go I did a few tests like this before without changing my tactics i just changed my wingers to FR/L positions and managed to squeeze few draws when I should have lost.

Just out of curiosity when do you change you're tactics to this is it when they score or after lets say 65 minutes played and you're behind?

Depends on the circumstances and realistic expectations of the game really. If I was for example 2-0 down at half-time against a team I feel I should be beating, I'd give them the hairdryer team-talk and put it on for the second half. If it was 0-0 and I wanted to win it, I'd adopt it at around the 80 minute mark.

While I'm here- I'd really advise that you do not use this from the outset. It really is only intended for last-gasp, everything but the kitchen sink scenarios.

One improvement to this I've found already is to set forward runs for the FR and FL to "rarely," I find it prevents offsides.

Thanks N'Kufo- haven't had the balls to play like this from the start yet!

Any ways you've found of improving it?

Make sure you have a big target man on the pitch when you do. :thup:

Down 2-0 against Arsenal with Man City and switched to this tactic. Game ended 3-2 to Arsenal. I scored 2 goals after switching to this but they scored 1 goal as well. Pretty impressed still. Will try it next time I am losing.
