Im playing this without player instructions, is there any specific instructions what would work with this formation?
lewj93 4 Jan, 2017 @ 10:51am 
working so far for me (only 5 or 6 games into the season though), does help if you've got some natural goalscorers/utlity players in there too I think. Does anyone who has used this formation suggest changing from "Counter" to "Standard" when at home against weaker opposition?

Does it work on fm 17? / Can you make on for fm 17?

Works like a charm with SC Freiburg in Bundesliga for me, currently 7th (projected 16th) after mid season break.

I've been using this tactic a lot across different saves over the last three months, and I have to say, it's absolute beast. I'm so successful with it.

THIS IS HAVING SOME PROBLEMS IN RECENT UPDATES, WORKING TO FIX!

Tried using this for Sunderland, getting absolutely battered. We do look good (lol) but can't seem to win, let alone keep a cleen sheet.
I'll try this formation with another team in the future, but it really isn't working for me. Then again, had some rotten luck with sending off's and penalties.

This tactic is very good. Playing as Leeds United i finished runner up in championship with 90 points Norwich won with 100. I won the FA cup beating Mancity 3-1. Roll on the premiership :)
Henzeh 25 Jul, 2016 @ 7:36am 
Also I've played 10 matches so far and haven't kept 1 clean sheet
Henzeh 25 Jul, 2016 @ 7:16am 
Thanks, also would it be possible to use Control instead of Counter? Or would that not work because of the style of the tactic?
Sisson  [author] 25 Jul, 2016 @ 7:05am 
Two advanced forwards can work as long as their work rate is high, DLF probably the best like for like option though
Henzeh 25 Jul, 2016 @ 6:46am 
Quick question, could i change the SS and make him another striker so its basically a 442? Because i dont really have anyone who can play that role but i have a lot of strikers. Maybe make him into a DLF?
Sisson  [author] 24 Jul, 2016 @ 1:38pm 
Dinamovist321 was the tactic fully trained? Using players in proper positions? Lots of people have had lots of success with this tactic hence the thousands of subscribers and 5 star rating. Don't expect to be beating Barcelona with Red Star Belgrade.
dinamovist321 24 Jul, 2016 @ 11:23am 
Unbeatable? My friend change the title. I played 13 matches with this ''tactic'' and I lost 9 of them, 2 draws and only 2 wins. I think that it's the most horrible tactic that I ever used. If you wanna be fired before winter, I highly recommend you this ''tactic''.
Sisson  [author] 15 Jul, 2016 @ 1:56pm 
Should work with most teams as long as players are in preferred positions and then you can train for the preferred role
Sisson  [author] 15 Jul, 2016 @ 1:55pm 
Opposition instructions are pictured
Anakin 15 Jul, 2016 @ 9:49am 
Opposition instructions?
Pastor 26 Jun, 2016 @ 4:52pm 
Well, tried this tactic and didnt work at all, maybe it is intended to work with bigger teams

good

Have anyone tried changing the wide midfielders with wingers in a support role - worked quite good for me, in pre-season, with Vendsyssel - might be because of the lack of wide midfielders, but i'm interested in hearing your experiences!
MGW is not a n*nce 7 Jun, 2016 @ 4:23am 
Using this exact tactic with Athletico Madrid, it's not working for me which is odd because all other comments suggest it is working for them. Conceding lots of goals and not creating anything, any advice?
lgilly22 6 Jun, 2016 @ 9:53am 
early days in my everton save and this is doing the trick so far. brilliant tactic! for some reason i had no offers for stones or lukaku so keeping them was bigger than any signings but we will see ion january. only player i lost was the diamond himself ross barkley :steamsad: but signed wanyama and ron-robert zieler. plus kenwright put his hand in his pocket to buy lucas lima, is this a bug ?:steamhappy:

how do you download?
nmh 1 Jun, 2016 @ 5:22am 
Great tactic. Thanks Sisson. Going to try Klopps heavy metal next.
grasmaaiman 26 May, 2016 @ 1:41pm 
can't you just post the tactic link on football managers united? all this subscribing and downloading and shizzle... I just want the tactic, not the whole bs around it...
Sisson  [author] 21 May, 2016 @ 4:12am 
To answer a few questions:
When playing against a narrow formation team, remove exploit the middle.
When a goal down I normally go Overload, and remove Work Ball Into Box if you've put that on, maybe push the wide midfielders up to wingers and have your defensive line not as deep.
Won't always work obviously, but I feel it's given some good results when needed.
Also holding on to a slender lead late on, go contain and even move the deep lying playmaker to a defensive mid. Only do this for the last 10 minutes of a game maximum as otherwise it invites too much pressure and increases their amount of set pieces giving an extra chance for them to score.
elbridge14 19 May, 2016 @ 11:53am 
been looking for a tactic which helps a solid defensive base. going to give this a go
Leskylor 19 May, 2016 @ 8:18am 
great tactic. works very well with suitable teams. i play with villareal and i have no defeat for the first half of the season yet.
Cassius Kad 13 May, 2016 @ 4:38pm 
Works well for me, just finished my first season with Atletico 2nd, only conceiving 16 goals in La Liga, winning Copa del Rey and Supercopa. Only downside is obviously your offense, I had quite a lot of draws. Then again, only lost 4 matches during the season.

I still have a question though: What should I do (tactic wise) when I'm down by a goal?
MAX 9 May, 2016 @ 2:52pm 
Sisson can you add me.I cant add you for some reason.Wana talk about tactick
Sisson  [author] 7 May, 2016 @ 3:12am 
You're welcome! Anyone wants help just add me and ask.
danylook 6 May, 2016 @ 1:53pm 
Sisson, thank you for good advice. I tinkered a bit with it especially for home games as you recommended played first 10 games in my new season. Tactic seems to work fine 8 games won 2 lost,
Sisson  [author] 5 May, 2016 @ 12:25pm 
If that's how you want to play it then play it like that, this is simply my interpretation of how they play, not necessarily how Simeone thinks they play.
Cedinero 5 May, 2016 @ 9:49am 
In many Atléti tactical analysis' I've seen some describe the team playing in a 4-2-2-2 instead of a 4-4-2.
Cedinero 5 May, 2016 @ 9:49am 
Wouldn't it be better for the wide midfielders to be instead attacking midfielders with Winger role? Some players won't perfectly suit wide midfielder position/role.
Sisson  [author] 5 May, 2016 @ 6:57am 
What team did you try it with? Add me and i'll try and help.
danylook 5 May, 2016 @ 6:54am 
Did not work too good for my team. Played 18 games 8 wins 8 lost and 2 draws
meeshopoulos 4 May, 2016 @ 7:07pm 
Using this in my efforts in Slovak Second Division, scarily solid defense 10 matches in without many players in natural positions, hoping we bang more goals in as tactic becomes more fluid
dawson-john9 4 May, 2016 @ 3:16am 
if you subscibe to the tactic, then go to your tactic screen , drop down bar, go to load tactic and it should be there, i have tried it and it works fine for me. good luck

Can't download :(
Blast Hardcheese 3 May, 2016 @ 7:40am 
Perhaps i'm just dull but I'm following your install instructions and it does not appear so that I can install it.
Dovah 2 May, 2016 @ 10:54pm 
Will test is and give you more detailed feedback. That was my first impression after viewing your Screen Shots.
Dovah 2 May, 2016 @ 10:49pm 
Your league stats are unrealistic. No offence but I smell some quit->load last game-> unbeaten season plays.
HelloKatiex3 2 May, 2016 @ 3:24pm 
I do really have a problem. Iam playing with this formation on the 4 League in germany.. Iam loosing against teams on the 18 etc. I don't know why is that
i'm glad it's you 2 May, 2016 @ 2:25pm 
If you have the money and are using this tactic, i would reccommend signing Mane as he does really well in this type of team
dibasta18 2 May, 2016 @ 1:20pm 
nicee
Sisson  [author] 2 May, 2016 @ 1:02pm 
He was good, used as a rotation CB or as a LB if the opponent was playing a strong RW as he's a better defender
