hi people.
im have been browsing this forum for quite some time but this is the first time im posting a tactic. All the while i have been asking people questions in this forum, so i thought maybe i could contribute something...

This is my 4-4-2 which i have been using for my arsenal in second season............ i just started 15 games in my second season.

i started with using the default tactic 4-4-2 and alter it to suit my team somehow, i dont know whether it suits other team because i have only tried it with arsenal. If there is any improvements needed, feel free to tell me.

**note: faber is the nickname i give for fabregas, touko is the name i give for kolo toure.**


I used both fast striker upfront with aguero and david villa. i personally prefer one of my striker to be intelligent, with good anticipation and decision so that they know the right time to shoot a ball and to recieve the right pass.. david villa is one, owen is also.
i signed david villa in first season and it is my team top goalscorer with last season 47goals. aguero, i signed recently in second season but it is proving to be worthwhile signing.

this is david villa form.





for my wingers, i bought maxwell and rafinha which can be played in wing backs/defender right/left position too so that they can help me defend against the opponent wingers first upfront before my fullbacks defend.
both of them have good dribbling(18) and crossing(18) their pace and acceleration are both 16.

This is maxwell form.




This is rafinha form.



All my players are performing quite good, except lorik cana. his average rating is around6-7. Maybe because he is a defensive midfielder..

fabregas is doing ok but i think there are more to his ability, so i wonder if anyone noes how to bring out the best in fabregas? i set him as my playermaker and tick the playermaker option. his highest rating is 8 only.

hugo Lloris is another potential goalkeeper, 21yrs old .

two mcs, one a little more defensive than the other. good passer and high creativity.

two cbs, one preferred good header and jumping(richards for me) and the other one is fast-paced defender toure.

for me, i will also set the opposition instructions too, which is based on a thread in the forum which i had read.

i will oso tweak the passing style tempo and width before a match. moost of the time is because of bad weather condition. When bad weather condition i will set my team passing style to be more direct.
the things i tweak before a match are defensive line, passing, tempo, width.
i will also ask my fullbacks to man mark wingers if the wingers are very strong.

i set of both my strikers as targetman, run onto ball. but i did not tick the targetman option, i wonder if that works?

i will oso take note of my players' forms and praise them accordingly to keep them happy and positive teamtalks like "you can win today" or you have faith to motivate them to perform well.
"wolfsburg guide to teamtalk" is quite effective.

The tactic:

arsenal 4-4-2
