====Tested with the 8.0.2 Patch and WORKING !!====

Hey, i'm a new member here and also this is my first ever tactic that i (can say that i) develop myself... This tactic also have been used in some other forums and glad to say that it's working really well for the user....

I just basically looking for a right tactic that suits my style of football (attacking football with beautiful passing and loads of goals) and actually works, i finally found this tactic. The name 'Goals Galore' just came up when i saw on the 'news' after i won by a big margin using this tactic for the first time. And this tactic can work under top teams, middle teams, and even lower teams - all have been tested and finding a lot of success stories. Note that this tactic is also very dangerous in counter attacking, as i find that a whole lotta goals also came from my counter attacking that can exploit from wingers or just through ball from the defender right to the forward... Hope this tactic will be a blast for your team..

It's basically the same with the original tactic.. i juz made some changes due to defensive problem.. and also i improved the set pieces and some changes that (hopefully) can provide you more possession, higher pass completion, and more chances on goal.. There will be more explanation....

Tactic : It's basically 4-1-2-1-2 aka 4-4-2 Diamond. I follow the rather Attacking 5x5 Defensive Line thing which means I have 5 players focusing on defending and 5 players focusing on attacking - so it's basically very balanced (although 2 from the back 5 can also used for attacking.. that's why I call it attacking.. lolz)


Important :
¤For Lower Leagues Team with not good AMC,, untick the playmaker.. you may you semi-playmaker or no playmaker at all..
¤Put your pacey striker (FC) on the right striker and finisher (ST) on the left striker position. (or you can experiment this one yourself )
¤Put better header defender on the left and the other on the right (duuh~)

Testing and Results : This time, I'm going for a lower team.. Leeds to be exact.. They are in Coca-Cola League 1 and got 15 points deduction.. that's a challenge.. xD

Despite predicted to finish mid-table, the results is we emerge as Champions of League 1 with 10 points lead from the 2nd place (Crewe) and an amazing goals difference of 79 (113-34) in 46 matches..

I haven't release the Away (Defending) tactic as I need to know whether this tactic works or not..
But, some of the changes you might want to try during away games :
Mentality
Defending : Use it when you meet with difficult opposition or you are less favorites to win the match.
Ultra - Defensive : You're leading 1-0 against Barca in the final of Champions League and there's 10 minutes left in the game and you're still attacking ? you're crazy !!!

Play offside : If you're confident with your defender you might want to use it. (Defenders with good anticipation and teamwork and Goalkeeper with good command of area and communication)

Long Shoot : Adjust each player's according to your team. The rarer the better on away games.
(Probably you dont want a lot of player to do a lot of 'often' as it will waste a lot of chance. Recommended : 'Often' to AMC Playmaker who has high longshoot, finishing and decision)

Tackling : The deafult minus 1 slider (Often to Mixed, Mixed to Rarely)


What you might want to have : want.. not must

Pacey striker(s). One striker will usually come deeper, get the ball, run past defender and make an opportunity to score.. My favourite is Sergio Aguero... and the other one is higher on the pitch, could be strong or fast - may both pretty good; may not both really bad.. This Huntelaar-like striker will need to finish the play and scores whenever he can - with foot or head.

A really good playmaker. Creativity, passing, technique, and decision are some of the most important attributes for a playmaker I'm talking about. Dribiling, flair, and long shoot will also be very useful as the AMC will be the keyman to go through the opposition before make a good pass or shoot for himself when there's a chance. delighted.png (Matias Fernandez is a very good example)

Two pacey wingers. Speed is important so they can run past the defender and make a good cross from the byline and in defensive situation they can get back fast.

High-working DMF with high tackling (and decision if possible). *dunno what to write here* lolz. well, you get the point.. hahas..

Good backs with decent pace is useful to handle fast strikers.

Waiting for the feedbacks,, good luck and hope it works...

Note :
Might need some time to gel
Might not work to all teams.

Thanks alot all~ ^^

Good to see someone having success with a 442 diamond though, as any 442 is hard to get any consistency with on FM08 imo.

retired_Hwells34

what was your first team in this season ? I play with Leeds and they have only one LB in Parker, no DM's as Derry is injured and a lot of semi-useless MC's not to be played as wingers. cheers

tomo_rose

i have uploaded and shared this tactic to several another forums muhahahahaha (although its a bad tactic)

retired_carolynfaye

Cleon : yeah, sometimes it can be a little inconsistent.. especially at the beginning of the season any idea why??
but i do find that after some time things will fit into place and starting to going well...

pukkekind : i was making a total makeover with the team.. sold some players to get new quality players.. i got distel zola for DM, birkir bjarnason for winger and i forget whether i get gabriel torje in the first or the second season.. and he's doing really well since then...
^^

alimdemir : wtv.. if it's such a bad tactic why would you distribute it to other forums tho.. ahahaha...

This tactic doesn't work for my celtic team, i was played off the park by 10 man olympiakos at celtic park

retired_NEWBODYFITNESS

give it a try with a lower team

retired_hanpil

I think he's referring to the bit in your first post which says do not distribute this tactic without my permission.

retired_anitarobinson

the diamond is one of my favorite formations. I haven't been able to make a decent one in either this version or 07.

Its a shame you cant really use some formations and have to limit yourself to certain shapes that the engine favours

Give this a go when i get home :thup:
