Not declaring these to be the worlds greatest tactics or anything, but they work for me at Arsenal and Falkirk, so thought I would share them. If you give it a try, please use it for four or five matches before passing any over critical comments. Feel free to tweak.
You can find the actual tactics, in tactics.zip on FMdownlads.net, under FM2007 / tactics / 4-4-2/
I like to play FM with good football and the formation is setup to allow the whole team a chance to play and attack. I believe in playing with two strikers unless holding on for a win. In the standard formation the right of the two strikers is set as the holding player. The left of the two is set up for Henry, hence why closing down is off. I want to create as much space for him to do his stuff, this also seems to work well for Walcott and RVP.
I have included four formations:-
4-1-3-2 attacking
This is the home formation and is set wide with a slow tempo and short passing. The key players in this are the AMR and AML who pick up the ball and run at the full backs. You can very quickly get the oppo full backs into card trouble. The DM sits deep just in front of the defence as a quarter back switching the play to the other flank, the full backs offer another outlet for the AMR & L to feed the ball back to if the get stuck.
4-1-3-2 away counter
No prizes for guessing what this one does. Pretty much the same as above, but a bit tighter, faster and with counter on. If you are struggling to get the ball to the strikers you can put side arrows on the strikers out to the wings.
4-1-3-2 Att Blitz
Maybe not as dramatic as it sounds, bit if there are 10 mins left and I am a goal down or level and think I can win it, I will switch to this. More attacking, less time wasting, more width and a few more forward arrows to heap pressure on the opposition.
4-2-3-1 Hold it
Again, not rocket science. A get behind the ball and park a bus formation which uses the wingers as outlets.
Feedback more than welcome, especially constructive improvements.
