Yeah, but when you go to download it, you'll notice two things:

1) the tactics aren't in the FM 2007 folder
2) each tactic has 2006 in the name.

the tactics aren't in the 2007 folder because i didn't realise you could put them in there, so that's why they're on the main page, and hence not in any folder.

the tactics have 2006 in the name because that was the date in my game when i saved them, which was sometime this month in this year (2006).

back to discussing the tactics:

atlantas: cheers for the posts and updates on how the different tactics are working.

thanks to anyone else who has tried it out too.

forgot to say in the first post that these tactic use a target man. i knew there was something i forgot to say about it. in all my tactics, the target man supply is mixed, but i get a few one on ones per game for the left ST when the ball is flicked on by the target man, who i play in the right ST position. don't rely on that working, especially if you don't have someone big in the air, in which case it'll be best to probably use 'to feet' at home and 'run onto ball' away, although i wouldn't swear on that so it may be best to just not use a target man at all and just untick the box.

seems that the home tactic is working better than the away tactic. for me, scoring didn't seem to be a problem in away games and i scored more on average in away games than at home. the problem with away games was that i wasn't getting the same amount of clean sheets, although i conceded 6 goals in 6 games just like atlantas did. i'd like to get a better ratio than that, although i can't expect a big improvement.

as for the home tactic, nothing really seemed poor with it, except that i lost 2 of my 8 games with it. 1 was against wigan in the league cup where i played a 2nd team, but i should still win that, even if kirkland had a great game. the other game, which i lost 2-1 to chelsea wasn't helped by neville making a mistake for their 1st goal. anyway, they're just more excuses, but apart from those 2 games my results were great.

when i get back later, i'll make a few changes to my home tactic for away games. you may not have witnessed the best performances in away games, but i've based the away tactic on getting the ball high up the pitch quickly, which creates plenty of chances but may not create lots of good chances unfortunately. i suppose that with man utd, i've got very good strikers so that i don't need plenty of good chances to score a few goals.

perhaps try the home tactic for away matches and see if you get better results with that. i'll report back this evening after i've changed things.

just a little note Crazy Gra...

i didn't use the target man... i didnt notice it was ticked (lol) and presume using the tactics without any target man... to my amazement though.. the home tactic worked wonders - its halfway through the season now, and i have only drawn 2 home games, Lost None and won the remaining games. also, i only conceded one goal!!! also, i have scored a total of 29 games since my last post. pretty awesome to me.

maybe thats why the away tactic didnt work so well - i will try again with the away tactic... and see how it goes.

Blimey!
Thought I'd try out the home tactic as mine had gone a bit stale.
6-0 after a poor run.

Only one game I know but looks promising.

I think wingers pushed up to AML & AMR is the way to go.

zyx345

i've always preferred having wingers pushed up to AMR and AML because a lot of wingers don't have a 'green' position for MR or ML. it also gets them into the attack better and crosses from the byline are hardly to defend against (not that i have specified for the wingers to cross from the byline as this limits them).

i had high wingers in FM06 when i played a sort of 4-3-3 system. they really needed to be high wingers or else the lone ST was too isolated.

don't know if you remember me saying in the spurs thread or not, paulinho, but i got spurs as a parent club for wycombe. i did well using this tactic and hadn't even loaned any spurs players! (although i was thinking of getting terry dixon)

zyx345

if you didn't have a target man set, then i'm guessing that one doesn't get used unless you have a player in the team who's in the list.

did you mean that you've played 29 games?

and that you've only conceded once during all those 29 games? :eek: even i can't believe my tactic is that good!

did you use the home tactic in all games i.e. in away games too?

retired_Jackieboy

Yes the home version of this tactic is very good.

Am using it away too with limited success.

I haven't tested it thoroughly of course but I would say it's the best tactic I've seen so far for FM2007.
