took Pordenone from serie C to serie A in two seasons with this tactic and minimal transfers (mostly loans). Grasped serie A promotion by winning the play-offs. Amazing tactic, lots of fun!

Very good tactic,always 3~4 goals, and even by ten-men.It seems forwards are the key, and MC are not very important.Wing back needs good stamina.

ebubeokonkwo 18 May, 2017 @ 7:57pm 
any new version

Tactic does work in getting a lot of goals, this season my 3 strikers racked up 70+ goals between them. I know I can invest more in my defense when I can trust my attack to score.
5tratz  [author] 14 May, 2017 @ 4:33am 
@wUR - as I said just below you mate, there is a new version coming to be better at away games as well, just doing some final tests :angrycrank:
Jake1 14 May, 2017 @ 3:58am 
Great tactic to use for home games. No success in away games. As a team in 2nd I am getting beat 4/5-0 at away games
5tratz  [author] 13 May, 2017 @ 5:47am 
O.Mark - thanks, mate, there is an update coming soon, well more of a version 2 in which it is much better at not conceding many goals as stated in the comments. :tabaha:
O.Mark 13 May, 2017 @ 5:05am 
Still the best tactic

good

Works for Vanamar or lower?
5tratz  [author] 10 May, 2017 @ 7:15am 
@joandrets - its still working for me fine :ChipNorm:
joandrets 10 May, 2017 @ 5:16am

Thanks!!
miki. 9 May, 2017 @ 4:26am 
Any good for a 9th tier team?

怎么下载这个战术呢?
Facemelter 2 May, 2017 @ 5:11pm 
Great so far. Tried it with Ipswich in 2023 in the Championship. First full season, I'm 24 games in and 2nd. 7pts clear of promotion and 20 of the playoffs. Scoring loads!

不错

Mixed success with this tactic, very effective at home but struggling quite a lot away from home. I may consider going to a Counter mentality for away games instead.
CHAOSxRISING 29 Mar, 2017 @ 5:59am 
COUNTER mentality STRUCTERED team shape. Three fast strikers up front all with decent passing stats is unstoppable
Prince 27 Mar, 2017 @ 3:44pm 
Hi DarkXess. First of all, great tactic! I have been using it to great success for my team. Recently, I have been trying to get even more mileage out of this tactic: what would you say are the most needed attritubtes and ppm's for each position? Thanks!
YBFC 25 Mar, 2017 @ 12:21am 
thanks
5tratz  [author] 23 Mar, 2017 @ 7:26pm 
@c4tenaccio - okay well if you were to look at your tactic, see from the 3 attackers point of view. The center one should be aa ST then right and left in theory should be something like a left sided or right footed/positional striker/forward yes? OR you can even put a left footed or right footed attacking midfielder which also works very well.

@Easy - your welcome, glad it's working nicely for you.

@Complainers - if your comments are being removed as 1 guy mentioned then its because your putting up false crap saying it's not working when clearly it is. Like I said, IF it ever did stop working then I would fix an update, I won't just abandon it.

Great tactic i am using at FLA at 2032 at 15 match i scored 79 goals and i get only 14 at Rio tate and First League of Brazil competiotions,I manage team training and match preparation and i leave only personal training to my assistant & opp.instructions.Great tactic DarkXess.Ty.!!!
c4tenaccio 23 Mar, 2017 @ 11:32am 
thanks for replying just a small question about when you said "put a decent amr aml" on either side of the attacker..so you suggest to change the two supporting strikers to attacking mids or just put attacking mids there as st? Im still getting used to game so aplogies if it sounds amateurish.
5tratz  [author] 23 Mar, 2017 @ 10:25am 
@c4tenaccio - mate I have answered all this in the description.
c4tenaccio 22 Mar, 2017 @ 7:42pm 
I have a question to the author and anyone who can answer from experience please: do you have to have the right srikers for those forward postions and what do you do if you have strikers injured can you play winger type players in those forwards support ST roles and how would you do that?? Also whats best way to deal with away matches in this formation from experience as it concedes alot away from home? cheers for the support
5tratz  [author] 18 Mar, 2017 @ 4:45pm 
@rtyzack - Ahh sorry, yea I leave that to the Assistant Manager, its served me well using the tactic so. I thought I had mentioned it.:ChipStern:

@kev.bells10 - it's working alright for me, I will check it out again on multiple teams and see if much more has changed. So far though it's working as it should be as it did upon first release.
rtyzack 18 Mar, 2017 @ 4:22pm 
@DarkXess Opposition Instructions
kev.bells10 18 Mar, 2017 @ 3:42pm

2806481082 5 Mar, 2017 @ 2:48am

Bovrilrilril 14 Feb, 2017 @ 7:24am 
Just beat atletico madrid as real madrid (ik but just testing the formation out) 6-0 away without bale... amazing formation cheers mate
Viney 13 Feb, 2017 @ 9:39pm 
1st season in the game trying this as Hull (no transfers made) and just beat Spurs 6-2*... so far so good!

*Admittedly they had Wanyama in goal at the end but I was already 4-2 up when Lloris went off injured
Bovrilrilril 13 Feb, 2017 @ 6:06am 
aite cheers
5tratz  [author] 13 Feb, 2017 @ 5:50am 
Its really up to you (the manager) mate, I am just recommending what's worked well for me using this tactic :FistIAW:
Bovrilrilril 13 Feb, 2017 @ 5:48am 
So should I not say anything specfic to the players, and just stick to the overall team talk?
5tratz  [author] 13 Feb, 2017 @ 5:18am 
Overall team talk mate, being aggressive so I learnt on the "Sports Interactive" forums where in my opinion Mr Hough who made some of the best tactics available in previous FM games always said its the best method. For me too it's always worked :ChipWink:
Bovrilrilril 13 Feb, 2017 @ 5:15am 
When you say use aggressive team talk - do you just mean the overall team talk? Or should I say some aggressive things specifically to the strikers, midfielders, defenders?
