I decided to build up a tactic and training regime which will give me nice football to watch during the games
Systems like 4-1-4-1 and wide 4-4-2s are working well in FM 2007 but I couldn't find a tactic that would give nice football as well as results
1-0, 2-0 wins are fine but I don't enjoy FM with them
I would like to see my team fight in every area of the field

In order to do that, I decided to take Ajax system of football as basis
During 90s, Ajax 4-3-3/3-4-3 [definitely not Total Football] was the way that everyone enjoyed watching
As a young kid, I was supporting Ajax in European matches, too

As well as to that, youth academy of Ajax and their training systems are definitely one of the best football systems to bring up players in the world
I decided to create a training in Ajax' Way, too

With these training and tactic; I offer you a very nice football, players fighting all around the pitch and having opportunity to show their talents

Tactic
4-3-3/3-4-3 System



We have a way that will make the AI confused. Team is in the 4-3-3/4-5-1 system while defending and when we get the ball players change to a 3-4-3
Key is the middle axis where GK-DC-DMC-MC-FC plays
We play a short passing quick game where we pass the midfield as fast and controlled as we can

GK- Normal goalkeeper. Good handling, concentration,... you know what a GK is like.
DC(center)- Last man in the defence. Needs very good tackling, heading and marking stats.
DCs- They will defend the wing and try no to get oppositon behind them. Need faster players with high tackling stast for these postions
DC/DMC- Key man. You need a Rijkaard-like player who has an excellent defansive and passing ability
MC(center)- Number 10. Litmanen-like Amc who has a free role. Key man in the offence.
MCs- Tacklers of the field. Davids-Seedorf like players who always close down and tackle to get the ball. Needs high tackling.
Wingers- Fast players who can serve the center man as good as they can.
FC- Finisher. Kluivert like player who is well in air and a good finisher.

Here are the tests I ran with Ajax
Squad


Training

Training is mostly based of mental progress and ball control
Based on positions but "Ball Control" and "Tactics" are always in the main place

Really wel thought out idea. It is not often people manage to replicate a tactic from real life, never training schedules too. I am interested to know how your results were with this. Were your flanks exposed in defence? Did the lone striker do the job or was he crowded out? Good work.

Hey Emircan, nice to have you back! I'm sure your tactic has potential because I fully trust in you Will definatly try this one out but atm I have not the players for it but once I have I will try it. Still use your ADDTraining schedules Do you suggest these schedules more than your ADD?

I would definitely suggest these more
Especially abilities like "Composure", "Concetration" and "Positioning" have a great improvement and you will be amazed when you see how these affect the game
Also, I would suggest it more than CMAddict as these are more entertaining for me

yeah, nice to see that someone try play with diferent formation. I love system with 3 man in back. Here is back my question: Do you know any desent team who played 3 man in back?

retired_carissa423

As I said this is not really a 3 man in the back formation
DMC player comes back and forms a 4 man defance
As I said: Team is in the 4-3-3/4-5-1 system while defending and when we get the ball players change to a 3-4-3

Just a quick one, obviously it seems to have worked well for ajax in a poorer league but would that formation really work in the premiership if used with a team ouside the top 4.
